growing up we could not shave our legs but like most girls we did it anyway! Of course that was a LONG time ago....

I agree.

To me, if some UCs like OP2 are consistent with their arguments, they would have to say yes
It's not a sin. lol

Besides, who likes women with bushy eyebrows, mustaches, underarm hair, and fuzzy legs?

On our cruise, there was a woman I kept running into no matter where I was (except maybe the bathrooms). She was a pretty striking young lass except for her standout feature, the big bushy eyebrows -more like a big bushy uni-brow. I kept thinking that she was Maggie Simpsons nemesis, "the baby with one eyebrow", on The Simpsons as a young child.
Either that or the Russian woman from the movie Dodgeball.

It is so amazing how thinking gets so messed up which flow from ignorant leaders who claim they are speaking for God. Then, the even more ignorant followers become willingly compliant to the demands of these leaders.

I've often wondered how much hooey a good husband would allow his wife to be subjected to before he said to that leader, "ENOUGH OF YOUR GARBAGE, I'm going to protect my wife from being subject to so much hogwash." Would the limit have to be that his wife's arm pits are inspected for possible clipping or shaving? The husband is the head of his own HOUSE (wife)...not a ignorant leader regardless who he might be or any church position that he might hold.

A former pastor of ours always said no man has the right to tell another man's wife what she can or can't do.
That pretty much saved alot of problems in the church.

He would totally agree with you, Bro. Strange.

I can't even tell my own wife what to do, or dare not try. LOL

I had this discussion before with some ministers, if it's vanity to have facial hair then it's vanity for their wives to shape their eyebrows.
