I have heard that every time a star falls a witch dies, and that when a bell rings an angel gets his wings....but have never heard about the cut hair/angel dies doctrine....sounds loony.
I dont believe the UPC would be so foolish as to teach that. Maybe a rogue member but surely no one ordained by them would be that far off or members that would accept it.

One would like to think that, however, there are those that have bought into the "power" in uncut hair doctrine. What's different - it's not scriptural either.

No, but at least it's verifiable. Can't tell whether an angel really dies or not, but you can tell if, say, someone is healed or not!
