And all the more reason to correct. He's a good looking young man wearing beads to any queer who sees him. Though his intentions may be pure we've dealt with this scenario before.
The men here have constantly told the women they must dress so as NOT to be provocative... well in this upside down world we now live in young men must be careful not to dress in a provocative manner that appeals to other men regardless of their intentions.
Surely the men here can encourage Alan in ways to promote the faith without risking encouraging other "men" to be falsely attracted.
And now that you are aware this practice can make you the cause of another's sinful thoughts it would be sinful for you to continue.
I've never heard of this.
I wear the rosary because if I carry it in my pants, which are charcoal, the paint may melt off the wooden beads. It's easy to untuck and pray in public I'm also unable to lose it.
If I thought a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ was staring at me I'd pray it in front of him. I honestly wouldn't notice though, unless he walks up or does something creepy, worst case scenario it becomes a self defense situation.
It's the same as anyone staring at me, unless it's a child in that case I always notice, I sense their spirit and I smile and wave back, say hello depending.
No hatred towards the respectful starers in public, I don't get "errand crushes" back like I did when I was 12. Doesn't mean I'm going to stay inside. Doesn't mean I'm going to leave my Rosary at home.
I don't think wearing the Rosary has attracted anyone, only warded off evil, another reason I wear it. Still, most people don't understand what it is anyway. If I begin placing it in my pocket and wearing light colored pants (you can send me some light colored pants size 32) I imagine it'd actually be slightly worse, slightly more hassle when I get home, or want to pray in public. The Rosary alone hasn't attracted anyone I've met, perhaps I would be married if it did.
It matches my beret and belt strap, also.
