On this forum it appears a good number of Saints know its not a sin for women to trim. Where are the Churches that stand by this truth?

Well let's face it when alot of people thinks of us only as people of rules and restrictions and such ,alot of folks out there preceive us as cultic.
I'm not attacking modesty either but God doesn't want to be nuts and flakes.
We can be Holy and have holiness without being out of balance.

The ones that see them as rules and restrictions need rules and restrictions.
It's too bad that so much goes into holiness and seperation, and not enough into dedication, know what I mean?

I don't think that they do it as a dedication to God, but just to be seperated by looking holy, (because someone told them too) without thinking of it as a living sacrifice, or doing everything as unto the Lord.

If one is dedeicated to God,then Holiness is sure to follow,but it must come from the inside to the outside.
External only ritualism is superficial.

That may be the majority that you speak of. I dunno. Don't want to broadbrush the movement. You sound like a liberal! H is not a liberal congregation!

It's late and I'm tired...but I must comment. What about the churches that specify an age when your hair must be worn "up". Try 10 or 12, so you have a young girl that looks like a grandmother.
I know a family that followed their churches teaching> guilt, obedience,church peer pressure etc<.
The young lady grew up and went to college. Now has shoulder length hair, looks her age, looks very nice....but 10 yrs of her life have photos of an old lady in a young body. Floor length denim skirts with the pleat or slit stitched shut so she could not walk. Teachers felt sorry for her. Bun on her head at all times. Is this a testimony or evidence of a cult?
I'm aware not all churches take it to this extreme.
