Ok, this just happened to me Saturday-
I was at a conference here in town, the church was not UPC. But Keith I saw someone we knew from when we attended a UPC church.
She relayed this story to me as to why she left: She was somewhere (leaving that part out) and they had just preached this message, just like jfrog is saying, miracles from obedience to uncut hair-
She was one of the few present with obvious cut hair. The pastor's wife comes up to her and says "If you stop cutting your hair, God will put back together your marriage." Well she didn't have any marital problems to begin with! Then they had all the women with uncut hair come to the alter and pray for the sick. You could not come forward to pray for others if you had cut hair.
To a visitor this stuff must look crazy!
