    Being a great fan of anthropology & archeology...Who's to say "pagans", non-christian people didn't know the same God we know?....They were in-tune with nature, hunting & farming,rearing children, healing with herbs....they had different names for it, but they sure did acknowledge the Originator[s] of it's mysteries. Why all of a sudden in the 21st Century [we] know so much more about God than they did. What?!!!!!!!! What?!!!!!!!

    Any sort of resinous wood has the potential to leak "proto-amber" (sap) that could become amber in a few million years. Certainly loyal Dubs would not want to do anything now that might introduce amber into the New System. I'm almost certain this is Bible-based(tm).

    If the young sisters in the congregation wear amber, this may send an outward message that they are a person of moral uncertainty to the congregation. Surely it would not be a good idea for them to be stumbling the young brothers in this way.

    Hahahahaha!

    As Matty so correctly explained,


    "If red represents things that are forbidden by God, and green represents things that are acceptable to God, then surely amber must represent ambiguity. "

    And anyone familiar with photographic color theory - as I'm sure the spirit led members of the GB are - knows that red light and green light combine to produce yellow light. Surely the Lord mixes light in mysterious ways.

    I am concerned though - GREEN is also the color of KHIDR, "the green one" of Muslim tradition, a bearer of good fortune.

    I am so friggin' confused!!! My head hurts!!
