My father was raised with rings being excepted (it is one of those things that some do and some do not). I do know that I have seen pictures of Oneness Pentecostal ladies from the 20s-present that did not cut their hair, wear pants, shunned jewelry, etc. It is a simple fact that most had no problems with the holiness standard, dispite what some authors have wished to claim over the years.
I was raised in Pentecost, and my mother has a picture of my great-great-great grandmother with uncut hair, and wearing a long dress. She died in the 1960s. As far as I know, she never once cut her hair, wore make-up, jewelry, pants, or any of that other stuff people like to endorse today.
Oh, she was not UPCI either. She belonged to the AOG as I recall.

Interesting. So you know of current UPC pastors that require "no rings" for membership? I know there are some independent UCs and WPF...
In the 1920s many would have had uncut hair in all denominations I think.
I think the point I was making is that by the time the UPC came into existence the national leaders often accepted cutting hair for their own girls and wearing jewlery by their wives - and there are photos that show it... not saying that many did not. But it does show a tolerance that is mostly absent today in that same regard.
