ALERT!!! ALERT!! THRAD HIJACKED!!!!


I notice nothing has been posted about Hispanic Apostolics and how one should not buy shutters from them in several pages now.

Doesn't somebody know the story behind this thread? The story behind the newscast?

Any good reason this AA brother has not refunded this money or delivered what he sold? Since we all know that all Hispanic people are related surely Monkeyman knows the "story behind the story"? LOL!!!

Period.
Personally I don't consider it a 'standard' but a holy consecration unto GOD and biblically correct as well. I struggle to comprehend how some women can be so against something so awesome. *shrug*

Wearing a veil is definitly a standard in the AA. It is still enforced in the majority of AA churches.

[QUOTE=simplyme;335653]Having been baptized into the AA almost 10yrs ago, just about everyone wore them, and as the years have slipped by I've seen less of the younger women commit to wearing them, BUT its has been MY experience that no one so-called "enforced" them nor made others to feel bad about it., when women ask questions to the other sisters ABOUT the veils, we (not the pastor) answer them, and provide a veil IF they ask for one., I have seen this happen more than not.QUOTE]

Thank you for bolding the part where you said it has been YOUR experience. While I do enjoy preaching and ministering in the AA, and the friendships I have ,anyone that has been around the AA for a while knows that the veil HAS been a divise issue.

The AA wouldn't fellowship with us in Chicago, because our women didn't wear veils. When we DID fellowship the Apostolic women ALWAYS made comments about the 'non' veil wearing UPC women. I've gone to dinner where everyone pulls out there veil and if someone forgot theirs, they'd use a napkin or share one with another sister.

There are a FEW Churches that aren't big on the veil anymore, but for the most part this is still very important. It IS a standard, found in their standards of holiness....not something optional.

For members I suppose that this is so, but for myself, I never saw it so-called "enforced"., nor read it in the 'Constitution, nor heard it preached about - strongly suggested? YES., but nothing comes of forcing anyone to do ANYthing it will certainly not foster UNITY in and of itself.
Even now that I don't attend AAchurches anymore, it is still part of MY personal consecration for GOD, as well as obedience to Him, to cover my head for prayer and reading THE WORD. I find it reprehensible for anyone to use this issue as something to cause division, gossip or anything not conducive to projecting a christian spirit, or of loving GOD - come on! He notices details like that., LOVE is the only standard that truly matters at the end of the day.
Humans can be so ridiculous sometimes.

Once again we are being educated by AFF threads. I was not aware of the veil requirement. I've heard of it but this is confirmation.

Is the veil in place of long hair or in addition to long hair??

The AA does teach a women should have long hair, it does not teach it is a sin to cut it. The veil is used when praying or prophesying. So, they do not teach the physical hair is a covering,They believe a women should cover her head physically when praying. This custom comes from the spanish culture which has its roots in Roman Catholicism.

Everything staysharp has said is correct. The veils are predominently seen when they go to church.
