In my personal line id, I like to post some military and public services photos because I like this kind of career. But he addressed to me by saying "Could you stop posting these photos ? It results from "the old man ". Brother, you are baptized and crucified with Christ. So, you are new one man in the one body. The pictures of public services like cops or military personnel with his or her own firearm are very scary and violent. These are not appropriated for one who serve God. So, you have to change or delete these pictures from your line app because it's not appropriate for becoming good gospel preacher and Christ's testimony. I will pray for you in order that you can see (that posting these kinds of public service career displease Christ and His body)." This is what he said to me concerning my posting in my personal area.
What do you think about this, dear brother and sister ?

The banter on here is so cute sometimes!
This is just my take (not sure if it's the new or old man in me) but this kind of advice is an example of saints in the LC attempting to convert all believers to their "flavor" of Christian life. When I did it, it was unintentional. I was just in the "group think" mentality under subliminal pressure that if I did all these things, and lived up to a standard- that must mean I was finally "expressing Christ." Why do you think many in the LC pray, worship, dress, and behave the same? The "oneness" tends to border on false outward appearances, stripping away the sense of self (which they manipulate into saying its your "old man") which can actually be used by God in a unique way.
