#87-Plastic Bracelets and Headbands: aka when can we declare someone has the spirit of Jezebel?

This post is recommended by one Kyle Brown (complete with pictures he suggested):

So if you want to know what is at the heart of Apostolic trending in female fashion, see the headware above...

No, really....

I'm being serious...

.....

Okay.

......Now let's talk about it...

Kyle pointed out that at first these headbands popped up as very mild, in the form of kind of a throwback to the days of the hippy:

Which was weird in and of itself, and of course there have been the coward version to pop up to make you think these headbands are serving some kind of weird function to bind up hair:

 

but as every slippery slope expert knows, such rebel rousing will lead to hell in a hand basket, and in this case the hand basket was a headband...

And now we are seeing bits and pieces of this out there amongst our females (no joke):

First of all, let me be the first on record to say these things are hideous.

The only good headband in the history of headbands has been the following:

And because none of the previously pictured headbands make the blind see, then we really have no function other than vanity...

But who is going to speak up? Who is going to call foul? Must we let this debacle persist?

And to you I say only you can prevent the headband wearing in your church and beyond (a simple letter to your pastor complaining about the deteriorating condition of standards through the lower generations represented through the materialism of these headbands should do the trick).....

But seriously, the moment we catch wind of the mascara or the blush, we can very quickly identify the spirit of Jezebel at work, but with articles of dress such as the headband, the point of Jezebel presence is a bit more murky.....

But I would argue that once again, our old friend, the Slippery Slope can paint the way toward the cause of the allowance of headbands, and diamond headbands in Apostolics circles:

It happened when Lance Armstrong released those Livestrong Bracelets all in the name of cancer....

And who can say no to curing cancer?

It was the perfect excuse for compromising Apostolics everywhere:

You don't wear them for vain reasons, but rather in the name of saving lives...which meant that if you were against the bracelets, You were for killing people....

I can specifically remember the day I saw an Apostolic wearing one of the bracelets, and my mind was in a paradox with no answer...All I could do was whisper to myself, "Was this okay?"

So we bit our tongues....and we allowed our friend to flaunt their cancer curing vanity without saying a word...

The bad guys were winning....

So basically Lance Armstrong was the one who let the Spirit of Jezebel into our churches...

Because the moment you start allowing people to wear bracelets for cancer, you can't tell them no when they try wearing Livestrong bracelets for their foundation/charity of choice to support (of course they kept it safe by never wearing outright jewelry and settling for the more modest plastic bracelets...)

and it was these plastic bracelets that had our tongues tied that allowed those girls wearing their headbands to strut their stuff without us being able to tattle tale....

There is no winning this one folks.....
