I guess it's about keeping yourself chaste until marriage, but it just seems to me like it's about virtue signaling your "purity".

>>744965

You could have just searched it anon. It's just a symbol of abstinence

It seems like a good way to let them know out there, besides being a vanity thing, it could be useful to find someone like you among the crowd.

This. A chaste women doesn't need that kind of shit.

In fact that crap just says she wants Catholic dudes to winnie the pooh

I think purity rings are a bit too virtue-signalling. Better to prove through your deeds that you're pure, and also acknowledge when you're not pure due to sin.

I always thought Purity Rings were some Baptist thing. I know they are often disparaged in media (like Christianity is in general), there is even a ..queer-inclusive evangelical church that made vagina art out of melting down purity rings: https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/04/progressive-pastor-vagina-sculpture/

The modern world quite clearly detests purity and loves making fun of it, so I choose not to join them. It's about on the same level as making fun of someone for praying, going to church, or wearing modest clothes.

I think they are a little silly since I'm not an evangelical, but ok to wear if someone wants to. Are all of the women/girls who wear them whores? I doubt it, maybe some are.

I think they are silly, and in many cases, they are part of some weird ceremony where you take an oath to your dad while slliping one on.

It's a good idea, but implemented in a kinda cringy way, and virtue-signalling somewhat, yeah.

For better or worse, good thing we don't have this autism in the part of the world where i'm from.

I know my sister was sincere with hers. It's part of what convinced my now-BIL that she was right for him.

You guys do know you are suppose to show openly your faith and be a shining lamp for others right? Like you should be wearing a cross, you should have that ring showing etc.. in Hope's that some one notices ask you about God then you get to telling them and hoping and praying it furthers them towards the narrow path. Christianity isnt suppose to be a secret club.

>>745753

But to add you dont wanna show off as the best Prayer etc etc and do it all for attention. Intention to it all is important, just to clarify.

>>745755

Do men are to wear purity rings too or it's just a woman's thing ?

>>745753

That speaks to your actions, being on fire for the kingdom of God does not mean chug petrol

People should see your actions and when told 'He is a Christian' they will have always known

Wearing trappings and symbols does nothing if the inner man knows not Christ
