''Now that you are educated in that sense, spread the word. See the cowboy wristwatch below''.

Doubt it and rather disagree with the op and source of this misleading info.

1. This watch is not a ''wrist watch.''
2. If it were a ''wrist watch'', it will be worn on the wrist, and no need putting it in a pocket, especially one this tiny.
3. This kind of watch is actually a waist coat pocket watch which was worn not only by cowboys but as fashion by society elites even in the 1900s e.g. The mafiosos and by some today. The end piece was hooked to the waist coat button hole and the watch itself put into the pocket of the waist coat.
4. Used and worn some myself.

A wrist watch (one hopes) is a rather self-explanatory thing to wear. As the name suggests, it sits round your wrist. A pocket watch however, possesses a name which is a little more misleading, given that when wearing a pocket watch, you are not just wearing a watch which sits in your pocket, but which is also connected to either a chain, series of chains or a collection of chains and fobs, which often come with different fixtures and a large variety of potentially perplexing arrangements.
There has been something of a resurgence in the wearing of pocket watches over the last eighteen months or so, I’ve seen significantly more being worn on the street and more celebrities are embracing them as an unusual accessory for formal wear. I’ve also noticed more watches being worn at society functions too – a lot of watches were being worn as an accessory for morning dress at Ascot for example, a trend which I suspect will continue to gather pace this year. Having noticed that pocket watches are being worn a little more often than they were a few years ago, I have also noticed that very few, if any watch chains and fobs are worn correctly. This is a real shame, because wearing a pocket watch is such a clear symbol of one’s intent to pay attention to their attire, that if worn incorrectly the elegant and effortless effect of dressing so well is eroded by inadvertent errors and faux pas.
With this in mind, I thought it’d be worth clarifying the different components and options for watch chains and fobs, and how they go together. The first thing to note, are that broadly speaking there are two different types of chains that can be worn with watches; the single or double Albert. The difference is obvious – one is a single chain running from buttonhole to watch pocket, the other two chains, one which runs from the buttonhole to the watch in its pocket, and the other to the opposite welt pocket on the other side of the waistcoat. Double-Albert chains are quite obviously more heavy and more dressy, so suit either larger figures or chunkier cut suits and waistcoats. I wear quite a small single-Albert because I find it doesn’t over-power my waistcoats, given that I’m not an especially big chap. Low cut or slim waistcoats and slighter figures tend to suit single-Albert chains. Watch chains are known as ‘Albert chains’ because Prince Albert first popularised the wearing of fine silver chains from the button hole of his waistcoat, which he often attached to his pocket watches.

Those who live by the gun, die by the gun!

Simple, in four words,
...Because of tithe collection!

And as the bible teaches, tithe collection today by any church is un-christian, against the new law, thus unlawful, un-holy, a scam, a FRAUD. Remove tithing today as taught by the bible and i bet you, churches, doctrines, denominations will evaporate faster than a blink of an eye.

Churches today are a bedlam of confusion, lack genuinty, quest for supremacy and power, self-centered, unethical, immoral, vile, deceptive, money oriented, fraudulent, exploitative, blackmailing, scheming, irritating, nauseating, NOISSSSSSSSYYYYYYYY etc, etc.

But most significantly, most are not Christ-like. They lack and do not practise the Truth, which is constant - THE PRESENCE, GUIDANCE AND DIRECTIVES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

it is well with us in this country!

IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

philip0906:
I'm a Christian and would gladly support any law that prohibits "public disturbance"...but it should spread across all religions and sectors. If you are to punish the people who disturb in the church,
1.you should also punish the imams who disturbed our sleep in the morning.
2. You should also punish the beer parlor joints that blast noise called songs into our ear drums up till 2:00AM in the morning
3. Companies that in the name of marketing, blast songs and what have you disturbing public peace.

When this is done, I'll gladly tell my pastor to reduce the volume of his microphone and put our church speakers inside the church

Do two or more wrongs make a right...............its all sheer ignorance.
