Ok, you've covered two of the groups: the "broken and poured out saint" who
wears rings and the hypocrite who doesn't.  Now what about the other two
groups--the Jezebel who wears them and the "broken and poured out saint" who
doesn't?  I personally see nothing wrong with a modest wedding ring, but I
would not for a minute suggest that all saints who wear them are "broken and
poured out," and that all saints who don't wear them are "whited sepulchres."
 I hope that's not what you're suggesting, either.
