I do not know ONE preacher that refuses to allow a man with a beard to "attend church", not one. It would seem to me that you have a real problem with church government. This is America home of the 501.c.3. America where churches are incorporated with the State and Feds so they can operate legally (this actually has very little to do with doctrine). The incorporated/affliated church has a business meeting, agrees on a code of conduct for THEMSELVES (bylaws) to operate in the business community and within the assembly. They choose to live by them. They pay the bills. You come along and because they don't change their governing rules for you, then you think they are all going to hell. Try that with the Baptist and see how it works for you,
