I'll have my wife lay her hair on my wallet and 100s will suddenly appear.

I think Elder Eplely and other ultra cons or cons who hold to the uncut hair doctrine but not the RR fantas....er.......doctrinal take on it would tell you that they do not have to resort to assigining special powers and angels to uncut hair to teach their view of the neccessity of it.
I will tell you CLEARLY that I am 3rd gen Apostolic, do not cut my hair today and this is NOT something familiar to ME!!

It is a ridiculous notion that has infested the Church. As I stated in an earlier post, when a SIL flat out told me that SHE had power in the prayer room that other women did not have simply because she didn't cut her hair, I was shocked.

I repeat that this laying your hair on folks is spooky business...

Never did I hear any of the old-time women talk about their hair being a "veil of protection". Never did I ever see them take it down while praying at the altar or while worshiping.

Never did I ever see them laying their hair on the altar or over a child or anything else for that matter.

This is a new thing and it is error - pure and simple!!
Absolutely!!

I think the teaching came along around the same time RR started writing books. What a coincidence, huh?

Why, yes, I did. Sorry, I didn't see the question. It was probably on those pages I skipped.

Yes, you are absolutely right, but this business is another thing all together, Thad...

Barb, this business has gotten distorted by a few who don't agree with the "uncut hair" doctrine and, subsequently, turned this into a witch hunt.

Once again, here is what the original post said:


"Lord, I made a covenant with you not to cut my hair. My hair is a veil of protection for me and my family. My hair is my glory and power with the angels. And as I lay my hair before you, uncut in obedience to your Word, I am asking you to heal and protect my husband from this disease that has been diagnosed."

Isn't it funny how some read this as someone using a bargaining chip with God, while others read it as calling upon the promises of God? We've certainly all reminded God, in times of need, of how faithful we've been to Him, haven't we? Just because someone doesn't agree that uncut hair on a woman means anything does not give them liberty to conjure up all sorts of silly references to witch craft, etc.
