Elizabeth,
I was stating that outsiders, usually don't have a problem with the hairstyle, (NOT ADORNMENT) usually just someone that USED to have lovely hairstyles and now they choose not too, so they belittle those that still do?

I would also, say the vast majority don't have "jewels" in their hair.

AQP, I insulted who?

How anyone can judge these girls, my hairstyle is simple cause I can keep it in place that way. But how anyone can look at these girls and say they are full of pride and vanity without knowing them is beyond me!

My lovely daughter can do wonders with her hair, she reads her bible every morning at 5am, prays, works with the youth leaders, works in any area she is called upon whether it is singing and playing or scrubbing the toilet to sharing the gospel with the lost, makes a committed monetary pledge to the church and missions and JUST because she may fix her hair a bit differently, she is full of vanity? I think not!

You seemed to be insinuating that those of us on this thread who considered elaborate hairstyles 'adornment' were bitter, backslidden Pentecostals. That's what I meant by insulting.

I still have long, uncut hair that I sometimes fix in an elaborate hairstyle. So, my opinion is not coming from a "used-to-be". But, I still look around me and say - 'we don't believe in adorning ourselves?? Ookkkaaayyyyyyy.' I still believe an elaborate hairstyle is an adornment.

My daughter does the hairdos, too, and I fix my younger daughter's hair all up fancy. I think it's cute. It's not the girls I am criticizing, it's the doctrine.

I still believe that the anti-jewelry doctrine is completely baseless, particularly if you're going to allow fancy clothes and hairdos.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You go girl, I agree the anti-jewelry doctrine is baseless and for the very reason you have stated.

What gets me is if your going to have long uncut hair let it flow I never did like or think Pentecostal hairs styles were atractive, EVER.

I will agree that simple almost always looks best! Case in point:



(And yes, I have posted this before -actually a few times over the past year or so, but it makes the various points when discussing hair so well!)

Well, I guess the bitter, backslidden Pentecostal person would be me....although I'm not bitter, I'm still involved in ministry...

I said earlier that I did not intend to be insulting, but some of the hairstyles are EXTREME...come on! You have to admit that some of the styles are over the top (so to speak). Like the big single curl strategically placed above the forehead as if the roller had been just removed without brushing it out. Or the elaborate. flower made of strands of hair and Aquanetted to the side of the head. Or the lacquered bubble curls that stack about a foot above the head.

Just remember the Scripture that says, "....the higher the hair, the closer to God..."

Dora, I was not refering to you, you have said you aren't trying to be insulting but it is coming across in several posts.
I can agree that some are excessive, but you never compared it to adornment,
if they didn't fix their hair I can just see the comments, not necessarily from you, on how "homely" they would be, they really can't do anything right, except leave and become charismatic in all things?

By the way i love upc brothers and sisters my post was not to citicise them in any way . when i was a child , we shared a church with the UPC , we were three Jesus name churches renting the same building . i learned to love all my brethren even if i dont agree with the doctrine they preach. I believe in babtism in Jesus name , evidence of speaking in other tongues , living a holy life before God as apart from the world as possible, in offerings and not the tithe. also that the holy supper is spritual and we do it everytime we open our bibles at church, that the oil is the Holy Ghost , and that the washing of feet is spiritual and was the babtism of the apostoles. i do not believe in holy hair.
