Lady REv

what was the reason for this Rule ???

Usually there was some kind of preaching on how the devil could creep, etc. but this one I cannot understand at all just like the NO DEODERANT RULE!

I honestly do not know. It was a rule on its way out of this particular church when I arrived. Few abided by it. I never asked the reason.

The pastor at the time was a lady.

I could speculate that it may have had something to do with adornment seeing as other things were very strict in this area as well.

Yup.

Shaving, in the opinion of some, helps a woman to look sexy. I do recall people, other than the pastor, saying that God put the hair there so why shave it?

Same for eyebrows...God put em there, why pluck em? They said the only reason for plucking was for self adornment.
