I can fully identify with what you have just said, although in a different form.
We have this church in Singapore that is 15,000 member strong (a huge following considering Singapore's population of 4 million) and they have this quarterly publication. I have heard so much about them that I finally got hold of a copy to find out more about their activities. It contained the usual christianly exhortations and lessons and even highlighted a group of often unseen and unacknowledged church helpers. So far so good, until I came across not one, but two ads that promoted beauty treatments that included breast enhancements.
Now I am not sure if I am being overly critical or judgemental but it seemed strange to me that such ads espousing external beauty and preying on the insecurities of women should appear in a christian publication. It just goes to show that if one takes things at face value, it can have the effect of blinding you to everything.
Thanks for your arti
