Hair Cutting Party....

[HangingOut]

Regardless of the stand on hair, your words of wisdom are appreciated.
I would wonder about a pastor that would mark a day for change on some of the very sensitive areas like uncut hair in apostolic circles.

I think any pastor who tries to bring a congregation from one paradigm into another in a quick fashion is full of folly and will reap confusion.

Very careful groundwork over an extended period of time must be laid down through Biblical teaching to move peoples foundation from being wrapped around legalism to a better understanding of the Gospel.

Without that teaching and preaching over time any sudden outward changes cause a psychological mess in peoples minds as their conditioning over many years causes them great guilt that some then confuse with conviction.

An pastor friend of mine in La.(elderly gentleman well known) said a young pastor not far from called his wife up front and cut her hair while the congregation shouted. This man would not embellish in the least. Also concerning what Steve Munsey did this was in the mouths of several saints who attended there for years. They were heart broken.

The unavoidable outcome of this type of pastoral meddling is a big, hairy mess.

I have heard of Pastors giving "hair Cutting" party on the Platform... Wife and others ladies getting their hair cut?

What is so celebratory about it other than possibly just a "wrong" spirit...

It just doesn't seem to be something to celebrate???

in other words I don't get it...

This rumor was out on us...that we put a chair on the platform and we started by me cutting my wife's hair...

For anyone to believe that this really happened would just have to be stupid...

It never happened in my church...and it didn't happen in any of the churches that I am associated with...

If--and that is a big IF--it has ever really happened...it was probably an isolated incident put on by an idiot who didn't know any better than to just be an ignoramus!

If you heard I did it...the person who told it on me should repent of their lies or they WILL burn in hell...long before any of the ladies in my church will for trimming on their hair.

Rumors are usually never true...

I thought some of the storys may be manufactured but I have heard it before.. I just didn't get it..and it seems I'm not alone..

You need to be more subtle!!!!

It is possible that he heard it from Oklahoma...his dad is really in the know here...

Bottom line, this rumor has been out about me and another Okie...good friend of mine who left about the same time...and it did NOT happen in OKlahoma...although they just love to say it did!

We should probably leave family out of these things... since my Dad is in the "know"...

Years ago it was said that there was a Pastor in OKC that did something like this.. a Good Preacher who preached Conferences and Conventions... I think his name was Smith...
