Oh no, I got another email about how these people are "supposedly saved"
and their "NON-witness" because of the way they dress. I was under the
impression that they way to test that would be to look for fruits of the
spirit - not the fruits of the wallet and the department store.
I also see the whole "dont cause your brother to stumble" thing way
overused. It gives too good of an excuse for people not to take any
accountability themselves. I think the actual connotation would be not
to use some pre-meditated method of purposefully making your brother
stumble. Kind of like inviting your Jewish vegitarian friend over to a
pig roast.
