.... she could reach out to some of the boys who have been mostly ignored in her other books while ... teaching an important outward extrabiblical standard.
Preachers who fall into sin are crucified here, unless they happened to be married to some woman who promoted strong conservative standards.
Isn't that interesting.
I wonder how vitriolic the response would be if a preacher fell into sin whose wife had gone liberal and started cutting her hair?
He would be ripped to shreds, and the poor woman would be petted and comforted to no end.
Does anybody but me see the discrepancy here?
I never cease to be amazed at the sheer venom that comes bubbling up out of the woodwork when RR is mentioned.
Coonskinner,
We have all agreed to leave RR's personal life out of these discussions and I agree with the infraction given the poster who made personal statements regarding that.
However I believe the difference here, and why if I were king her personal life would be fair game in discussion, is that she has taught at the very least by strong inference that a womans long uncut hair keeps the sort of sin that destroyed her family from happening.
Not to mention the reoccurring theme I have seen in my life in Pentecost that people in ministry who travel a lot alone are the ones who end up with marital problems. Keeping the homefires burning might be a new good topic for some women's conferences and popular women's conference speakers.

poor young boys being discriminated against - I say equal trash for everyone!

Right, CC1! It is going to rain on the unrighteous and righteous alike. Faith Promise isn't going to stop you from going through financial situations, either.
Trials are for our perfection. I think sometimes He wants us to see what we are really about and want deep down inside while preparing us for a linen robe.
I can be faithful and struggle and I can be unfaithful and struggle. Funny thing is, He is there for me at both points.
It is about my heart more than anything. That doesn't negate the fact that I must dress as a women "professing godliness". We will be outside what we are inside.

Doesn't RR say in one of her novelettes about having certain things hanging on the walls in your house - like beautiful paingings - etc. its a way for the enemy to come in your home?
Maybe that's what happened to her 1st hubby - OR - maybe she was not what she claims to be -OR - maybe she was so holy she was no earthly good!
I see you are new here, but this comment was really unnecessary. There are lots of people who have fallen but instead of kicking them, I lift them up.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to you and I. Remember that.
Welcome to the forum.

It was a general observation. Just within this past year we have seen this rear it's ugly head again. There is a pattern of people in ministry who have failed marriages and who are technically the "innocent party" yet shared the same trait - ministry away from home a lot alone.
I feel the same way about this as I did years ago watching VH1's "Behind The Music" documentaries. After I saw the fifth or sixth one and realized all of the rock and roll folks had the same story (struggle, fame, & fortune, too much dope, money al wasted on stupid things or stolen by bad advisors, 15 minutes of fame over, destitute). I then wondered why the vast majority of newcomers follow exactly the same path and make the same mistakes.
It looks like people would learn from the mistakes of others.
Until FCF I had never heard of her or her books. We had some knock down drag outs there over her books I was both pro and con on many things. She was outside my area fellowship.
However I believe the difference here, and why if I were king her personal life would be fair game in discussion, is that she has taught at the very least by strong inference that a womans long uncut hair keeps the sort of sin that destroyed her family from happening.
With that thinking then Paul should never have believed God for anyones healing since the thorn in his flesh was never removed.
