Just thought of another one - no shaving of the legs, arms, or any part of the body for a woman.... because women aren't supposed to cut their hair, this applied to all hair...
Oh, ... one preacher I knew taught against breastfeeding, said it was unnatural, and all women should bottle feed their babies??? I never ever understood that one at all!
As a former La Leche League leader who is currently feeding my son in such an unnatural fashion, I'm going to have to pretend I didn't read that.
no visiting other churches of same persuasion (other oneness churches) without letting the Pastor know
no dating unless in a group (probably a good rule for teenagers actually)
no riding in the car with anyone from the opposite sex that you are not a relative of (probably not a bad idea)
can not touch opposite sex at all, unless married, can only shake their hands
must wear pantyhose (females)
must address anyone in a leadership position by last name, IE, Bro Smith, Sister Smith, ect.
women stay in kitchen and talk, wait on men who are in living room
going to the doctor is seen as a lack of faith, though not prohibited,
women encouraged to have babies at home
must win one soul a year or your salvation is in jeopardy
Amanah, those hose must have a seam down the back. (Do they still make those?) I guess when they quit making seam hose God will change His doctrine on this, at that time!
