THANK YOU For that visual...

Lady REv

what was the reason for this Rule ???

Usually there was some kind of preaching on how the devil could creep, etc. but this one I cannot understand at all just like the NO DEODERANT RULE!

do a study on judging and self righteousness while your at it

Also,,,,,,



At the church that didn't allow Doctors, they were forbidden to use anything that had the word " medicated " on it such as " medicated chapstick" medicated soap" etc .

this could lead to "Sorcery "

I honestly do not know. It was a rule on its way out of this particular church when I arrived. Few abided by it. I never asked the reason.

The pastor at the time was a lady.

I could speculate that it may have had something to do with adornment seeing as other things were very strict in this area as well.
