Should I wear my pentgram to work? (beliefs, bible, faith)

[Booko]

What Katz said. Sure, it's a free country, but you shouldn't have much longer to wait for the 90 days to pass. Though if it's under your shirt, then that doesn't matter.

I'm lucky as the Baha'i star has 9 points (usually like 3 triangles) so people usually mistake it for a Star of David.

But you know, if someone says anything about it, honestly just give it your best ditsy act (I know this is much easier for frumpy middle aged blondes, but it works for others too ) and just tell them, "Gee, I've always like stars since I was a little kid. Aren't they just NEAT?"

Give 'em your best Barney the Dinosaur voice -- that should scare them off pretty effectively. If not -- they'll die of diabetic shock shortly and still be out of your hair.

My thoughts are to just go for it. Wear it. It is a part of you and probably is a good reminder for you about what you stand for. I've worn a chain for a wee while. Whenever I feel a little confused about something, the chain is a little reminder to me about what I believe, and although the confusion doeesn't always leave, I can know how to adress it

And if the company you work for does not agree, then are those the kinds of people you want to be around? For looking professional, I can agree, and say it wouldn't be a big deal to keep it under your shirt.

If you want to wear it, then wear it.

However, if you feel at all like part of the reason you want to is for the attention value, then don't do it.

From my own personal experience, don't wear it in view unless you are in a position to lose your job. Just because they say they don't discriminate, doesn't mean they won't nit-pick about other things to get you fired over.
I had to threaten to drag into lawyer into the scene to keep my job when the corporation boss wear I use to work saw me wearing mine. I wasn't even on the clock, as I was thier for a volunteer fund raiser day. And believe me, the office watched me very close looking for things to fire me over. It also led to the first time anything was said about my hair length. Company policy is for males it can't be below the colar. Mine was longer when I hired in. All of a sudden, it was too long, and I was wrote up for it.

If you are comfortable with it then where it. If it relects you and who you are and you don't have a problem (meaning be secure in yourself) If people see you as secure they are less apt to say anything. If you look like a target they might target you. I have no problem with anyone showing off what they believe in their heart as long as it does not harm anyone.

I was working over night at this one place things were going great untill someone found out I was Wiccan. Next thing I know I'm getting into trouble for little things that had nothing to do with my work. Next thing I know I was let go, the night mamager said I had tried to run over him with a pallet jack! Just so you know this is IMPOSSIBLE with pallet jacks have wheehs as big has a skateboard.

We've sort of touched on this before here, I have a friend there who thinks I should wear it after all it is a free country so I should be able to express my belifes just like anyone else she says. There's also a part of me that worried about someone saying something not the people I work with but customers. I'm just about to get past my 90 days there & get promoted to the dept I want to me, I've had nothing bad ever said about me, just that I'm a hard worker. Any advice would be good please!

So just you newcomers out there I am not doing this for shock value I want to be able to show my faith just like anyone else.

OH, I do live in the biblebelt.

Wear it if you want! Who cares what losers think of you? I'm a pretty hard-core Christian, and I wouldn't mind in the slightest. It IS a free country, people. Some people I know are offended by the stone I wear as a pendant around my neck. It is from the mountains, so I like having them close to my heart. But I have had people think that I'm a pagan, or new ager, of all things! Just because I'm choosing to wear a ROCK. So whatever, people are idiots. If you like it, then go for it.

If you have to ask, I wouldn't, or you probably shouldn't. That is, if you're going to attract negative attention to yourself, it's better not to wear it. However, if you think that the people at work are mature enough to handle it, and the pentagram is tasteful jewelry, go for it.
