    Interesting that you should mention tattoos in connection with Disciple; it seems that for people who don't realize just how widespread tattoos, including faith-based ones, are, it can evoke instinctively hostile thoughts even to the idea of getting a faith based design done, until, that is, they realize just widespread and how effective faith based designs can be in witness situations. (In North America, 59% of parlor clients are women, with 70% women in some areas, apparently.) And obviously one is going to be around people with tattoos - some of them faith based - at Christian rock concerts. If you eventually consider a faith based tattoo, especially to help in witness situations, there is a sense in which you'll be in good company but it really does have to be an individual thing and initiative.
    (Re. WBC, I'm not sure who they represent except themselves.)

    Yes, interesting and it's a well produced piece of hard rock, too.

    I'm not sure what they mean by hate; it's a term that can be used for all sorts of mutually exclusive things. In my experience, such as it is, legalistic church circles are sometimes influenced by a lack of knowledge of other social cultures, etc., but I don't subsrcibe to anyone attributing 'hate' to people who tend to notice others' cultural differences.

    Blessings.

    Hi questdriven; just replied to your posts about metal, and about the ESV. Blessings.

    It's always good if we have such footfalls in memory, so to speak, where what is in our minds links in to a particular Scripture. This is also why your point recently about lyrics being the essential point of music rather than style, is so important. Blessings.

    Because it's not said often enough, I want to let you know that I appreciate your contributions as a staff member on this site.

    Hi there! so are you done now with homeschooling? or will you have another year, still? Hope it goes well with you with the church songs; hope you are getting along well there at your new church. Blessings.

    PS: Sounds like you need a bit of a refreshing change; lots of choices of things you could do, I guess: go to a good Christian rock concert; start reading a book of the Bible that you've not read lately (good to have a change of perspective; the Bible is so varied); get a haircut, change length at back/sides, etc; or change color; get in touch with a friend that you've not talked to lately, and then talk about other stuff and not so much about your mom.

    Hi there, questdriven; sorry your mom is upset; are you finishing your homeschooling soon, maybe? Hope your new church is going well. Blessings.

    Sounds good. (Good drawing of him, too.) You'll appreciate the recent posts about Disciple and Skillet, as well. Blessings.

    Hi there; hope the dog is feeling better; FYI, if you check out the music / hard rock threads, there have been various more posts. Blessings.

    Hi there; some good links you supplied just recently. Interesting to be able to compare different tracks by various groups, too.
    Also, you seem quite good at sorting out the underlying logic of statements that are made by people; I wondered, the post http://www.christianforums.net/showthread.php?t=43748&p=803900&viewfull=1#post803900 which you may have seen, has got interconnected ideas; I'm wondering about the logic, too. You might not want to say any more on this topic, but it was an interesting post, anyway. Blessings.

    Hi questdriven: I wouldn't worry about what's been said on the thread about Christian rock that's clearly Biblical; I replied supportively on the thread, but understand why you don't want to argue any more. Blessings

    Hi there; questdriven; the Christian rock music section has been a bit quiet this evening; there's been more on the tattoo thread; I'll probably be off to bed soon because I have clients to see to in the morning! Blessings, f

    Hi questdriven; ty for your comments on the thread about tats; there has been a bit of further comment this morning, on the thread, subsequently. Blessings.
    PS: I thought the comments and links supplied about October Glory were interesting, anyway.
