You believe women should not cut their hair and always wear skirts/dresses, right? lol IIRC you believe in head coverings too..veils. If that's not conservative...? I'd be scared to find out what is. heh

As for the rest, listen to Sis Alvear. I don't know anything about the group, but I know she's not one to easily speak against a group. If she says to stay away, trust her on that...ok? She's seen more than you hopefully ever will.

Steve, just thought you might be interested - for Christmas Walt got me 4 books:

MennoFolk2, A Sampler of Mennonite & Amish Folklore by Ervin Beck, Editor

The Sound of the Hammer by Carl Conrad Britsch
This is story about the Amish-Mennonite folks who came to NW Ohio back in the early 1800's from Switzerland

Out of the Wilderness by Beck
Alot of NW OH Amish-Mennonite genealogy information in this book

The Days of My Years by Walter Stuckey
Walter is a distant cousin of mine. It is his life-story, a ton of Stuckey genealogy and the story of his ministry at the Lockport Mennonite Church.

I'm anxious to get reading

What does IIRC mean? , I believed some of the things you mentioned in my earlier Christian walk (I was saved under teachers that believed that stuff). Now I don't believe a woman has to have uncut hair or a veil on her head. I think it's important for men and women to dress in gender-appropriate and modest apparel, and for the sisters I know they've all seen that as skirts/dresses.

If I recall correctly.

And then I stand corrected.
