Is it a sin for women to shave, pluck or otherwise

[Jay]

Uh, forgive me if I find the topic to be slightly inappropriate.

I believe that a lady may cut and/or shave everything but her hair on her head and her eyebrows.

I will never forget being slightly terrorized of an older ladies mustache (not that there was actually that much there, but still).

I know I shouldn't be, but I am still shocked about some things that were taught in some churches. My Mom was the authority on when I could shave my legs, not my pastor. Were some of y'all grown and taught not to shave your legs?

All this over how we should look by the standards of what our individual churches believes. Insane! Jesus never saved our body, He saved our spirit. When we die, if we do, then this carnal body will return to the ground from where it came. I realized the verse referring to this being the temple of the Holy Ghost,and if that is the case then why not listen to Him and find some modest level in faith where a lady or man, are not being vain in their appearance and yet not so odd that it's getting more attention in public than what would be, in the sight of God, acceptable.If we are going to live in the Old Covenant then we need to realize in our reality ream which covenant is in force and which is not.
Going to hell doctrine because you shave your underarms or legs or God is going to punish you, that stuff is just not common sense at all..

actually i look pretty good! I grew one just cause I was curious....I was suprised how much red hair I have in it.

As always....it comes under the catagory of "commomsense"

It amazes me that anyone would not fix their eyebrows (if needed) or take care of very basic grooming . as in shaving legs.

I recall clipping my eyebrows at about 12, and my dad had a fit. I don't think he cared about plucking....but I used embroidery scissors which translates to lack of control in small areas. I had very small eyebrows for a while...
Once I switched to tweezers I could go in public again.

Tweezers????

I've seen some sisters that needed a lawn mower.

So valuable because it won't be you standing in my place on judgement day. I better be sure I live what I believe, as we all should.
