That's true not to judge others by what they look like or tattoos or piercings or disabilities or color or anything you can see about them. Sometimes, though, some of us have preconceived notions of what people are about when they sport certain looks or are not like us. I know I have done it and try not to. I always liked people who were somewhat different as I was growing up. Don't know why but that was the way I was. I need to get back to my old self. I often though accept others as they are and it should be that way.:hamster:

I hearted the video earlier today on facebook.
The Word warns us of those INSIDE the church that become boastful and we are to have no part with them, they are the adversary rather than the humble and we should treat/welcome our neighbors as Christ has treated/welcomed us.
One of the reasons I don't want to go to my church this summer is because I have a tattoo I constantly have to hide with long sleeves out in public (it was a bad decision and I can see why any one person may take offense)... and I also just don't feel comfortable enough 'in general' to go, even tho I respect my pastor and my brothers and sisters there I just dont fit in with them at all.
I feel like they judge... there I said it, but this guy said it first LOL!

I don't see anything wrong with people talking about the good they do so you can get a better picture of them when you didn't know them before.

Nothing wrong with it until it upsets a brother by suggesting that well "God surely cant accept you due to our appearance"
Yeah they are going to have a pow wow for sure. But so what, its everywhere and I am well warned of them.
