Today you go to a nursing home and look at how many older ladies that are going bald.
Correlation? I don't know, but it is interesting.

What exactly is "interesting?' The fact that old ladies go bald just like old men? Did you ever visit a nursing home in the Victorian era? Guess what? Bald old ladies back then too. The fact that Brother Witherspoon was "seeing" some sort of corellation between women who would naturally lose their hair and
Isaiah 3 is evidence in and of itself that the "Uncut Hair" doctrine was a novelty in 1945.
One of the "blessings" of a longer life is that increasing numbers of people get to "enjoy" the effects of aging for longer periods of time.
Brother Witherspoon was a great guy, but he really missed it on this one. Simply reading the Book of Isaiah for what it has to say of itself... you will get to
Isaiah 22:12 - check out what the Bible says... (click the link!)
Did you notice what context does to help our understanding of the Word of God? "In that day..." When God's judgment is poured out people will despoil their persons in sack cloth, ashes and ... baldness. They will make themselves bald as a sign of mourning.
Now, since we have this Biblical precedent I have a question for the so-called Apostolics on the board: Why don't our pastors require our women to shave their heads when a member of their family dies?
