And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4-5
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs 9:10
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Romans 1:22
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. Romans 12:3 (NIV)
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. I Peter 3:3-5a (NIV)
Those who believe that women have low self-esteem should check out a business/community calling itself The Queen Salons®:
If you look at the photos, a fair percentage of these women aren't the sort that most men would instantly be attracted to or regard as "queens." They're looking for men who will think as highly of them as they think of themselves. I could be wrong about Queen Salons®, but this is the impression I get from visiting their site.
Go to the testimonials and facilitators pages, and they come across as women exercising masculine characteristics. It calls itself a grassroots movement, but I smell the odor of Social Justice Warriors. I also detect New Age views, such as on this page (bold in original):
The power of the Salons is in that WE are the source of wisdom and learning:
There's no mention anywhere of God being the source of wisdom, and I don't sense a "gentle and quiet spirit."
Here's one of the facilitators:
Vireo is the Queen of Authenticity, Love, Joy, AbunDANCE, Surrender & Ecstasy. Her realm and court know her as Dancing Pleasure Goddess™. She had the pleasure of taking the whole PAX curriculum. Her vision is to expand as a leader, deepen as a Queen, silence Ideal woman, calm cave woman, support other Queens in being their authentic selves, inspire all men to be their best selves & expand in receptivity. She is passionate as a teacher of children, as a Kundalini Dance™ facilitator & as a personal life coach for nurturing women & moms.
Their Year 2 and Beyond program seems like the sort of thing typically found in a pyramid scheme (bold, link in original):
What It Looks Like
4.5 hours group topic, connection, and support calls (September, January, May)
45 minutes personalized private coaching
15-33 hours leadership in action
Continued access to the online resources and forums – Including a new interactive Topics List that you can edit and add to!
Continued assistance in growing your Salons
Plus we guarantee your experience!
“Cooperative Pricing”, meaning the final cost depends on how many Salons are participating. We anticipate $180-$290 per group* per year, assuming 5-10 groups participate. The more Salons that participate and support each other, the lower the cost.
Women who wish to set an example of godliness should avoid The Queen Salons® (and men who prefer godly women will do well to avoid these "queens").
