Re: Youth Camp Haircuts
Yup. My first Louisisana Senior Youth Camp back in 1973 when I was 14 if memory serves me. At registration they culled out about a half dozen of us and had us sit in the sanctuary. Then when registration was complete they took us into the La. district boardroom where some minister proceeded to tell us that if we didn't get haircuts we were going to grow up to be homosexuals.
I should also mention that apparently this was great entertainment for the La. District UPC preachers who might be around because there was a group of them lined up around the walls and grinning and laughing at our discomfort.
We were then told that if we wanted to stay at camp we had to march to the admin bldg where a guy was set up to give us haircuts. I had been raised around this nonsense so was not totally shocked. I took it in stride but felt really bad for two boys who were not Pentecostal but guests of a Pentecostal boy who invited them to camp in hopes they would get saved. I bet they remember that nonsense to this day.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

That's horrible. I had to get quite a few forced haircuts in bible school, too. But I'm getting revenge, now!!

Poker in the girls dorm. Aw, Randy, you're funny.
You were joking, right?

I'm thinking a headcut not just a haircut on this one.

Yeah, you know the old joke about the diet where you lose ten pounds of ugly fat instantly, right? Cut your head off.

Re: Youth Camp Haircuts
Now, would you say a haircut like uh, Mr. Smith sports is respectable?

Yep. I prefer that program for others. Myself? Not so much!
