I thought it was just funny at the time but as I matured I understood the ditch those women were off in with their mile high hair. It became the focus when people looked at them. Not any inner goodness, kindness, fruit of the spirit, etc. The hair was their "badge of holiness" and for too many of them a part of wearing that badge was an attitude of superiority over women who did not.

Said by an ex UPC & seconded by someone who feels that the UPC is a cult.
Very sad indeed!
