It seems appropriate that men should not be allowed beards in the UPC as it is one of the very few "holiness indicators" for men...most are for women so this helps keep the scales balanced!

While some organizations take away from the Word, I wonder how much has the UPC added to the Word?

So much for that "that they may be one even as We are one"...

I know of an independant church that Allows the women to wear short sleeves but the Men have to Wear long sleeves at All times
simply to balance the Rules out. I think this sort of weird. I mean, how about we just take their Radios away from them so they cannot listen to sports or something ??

Is he looking our way, too?

I don't have a direct quote. Only that he said we (the UPCI) have been all wrong on the issue and it needs to to stop.

In our ranks, isn't this like the pope saying, it's OK now?

Of course they have all been wrong on the issue, because beards are biblical. I don't have one though, because I don't like them.

in the WD There are still many churches who consider people with hair totally lost on par with a murderer

If Jesus came up with a long white beard and cane they would walk out in masse

that's just how it goes out here O well, you learn to live with it

No. I decided it would be best if I didn't go. The last time I went to a funeral at this church I got treated like dirt. So, rather than dealing with that again I will say my good bye to Bro Campbell privately. I heard it was packed though.
