I don't know what or how it really went down. That is the version that I am familiar with.

An urban legend is not the same as proof that such an event took place. From the details you relate - "the scissors sparkled as the light hit them" this sounds like one of Steadfast's tales of "Intentional Indiscretion."

Those events were usually said to have occurred in TX and OK - in fact, one former UPC pastor from OK who used to post here had to go to great lengths to assure everyone that he was the one being described.

The accounts of "the scissors sparkled as the light hit them" and the "pastor kept fidgeting with his new pinky ring while in the pulpit" - all of those things do appear to come from one source. A source whose accounts no one should have ever taken seriously.

Sounds like pure urban legend to me.

CORRECTION: That he was NOT the one being described in the story.

Right, but when I heard it, it wasn't vague--he was specifically named. Ridiculous. I wonder how many times it's been told and retold with different names inserted?

And it has been in my signiture line ever since!! I still post some!! I did not have a hair cutting party. The first time I heard this rumer on a church was in California in the early ninties. Jim Shoemake's former assistant pastor was supposed to of had this hair cutting deliverance service--cutting his wife's hair at the altar and her jumping around speaking in tongues with it in her hand...

It was a lie--never happened!

Then over 10 years later the exact same story was told on me!! Again, it never happened!!

I have had several friends leave and the same stupid rumers spin about them....never happend!

On another note--some Apostolics in Tulsa are now saying that I have turned my church over Church on the Move and Willie George Ministries. Had a man stop one of my men at walmart Thursday just wondering what I am going to do now....LOL! News to me!!!

Lie, lies, and more lies.........It is urban legend!!

If you hear the hair cutting rumor...don't believe it...it has NEVER been confirmed as to have actually happened! Let's see the video and pictures of it if in fact someone has done this!!!

I never had a hair cutting party!! Dozens and dozens of times I believe it has been told and retold using a different name! And in every instance that I know of, it was a lie!

I'm disappointed Sam.
I thought better than that of you.

I just came from the Michigan mens conference and his assumption is more true than not.

That is a trend today, inside and outside the church.

I know the story was about T1. I changed the location to Ark... and added the sparkly scissors. Ha ha.
