Re: Am I being asked to leave?
So did ANYONE in this thread say Bro. Steve should leave the forum? It seems from what I read he is dearly loved and everyone would be sad if he did. So it seems if he did leave it was what HE wanted to do.

I probably came the closest (in this very thread). I am sick of people playing the "I am going to LEAVE!" game, then sitting back as dozens beg them not to, at which point they reconsider and stay (of course). I basically said "ok, just GO then!".

Re: Am I being asked to leave?
Mikey,
Elder Epley is dearly loved by many including those of us who are 180 degrees from where he is in theology, philosophy, etc.
Elder Epley has some great wisdom to share that would benefit everybody and especially young preachers.
He is living proof that you can take strong stands without being personally offensive and also that a person with strong stands can be friends with those he disagrees with and not compromise those strong beliefs.

Nope. I don't believe that this IS a conservative forum. Nor do I believe it is a liberal forum. I believe we have a very good mix here. Which is exactly how it should be, in my personal opinion. Altho, I have to be honest and tell you that I've seen way too many conservatives jump ship and run away. I wish they'd come back because their input is absolutely as valuable as everyone else's. And who know who they just might convince? (not me. But it could happen for someone else.)

I want to take a firm and clear stand on this issue. I absolutely, 100% do not approve of women "dutting their hair".
However I do think there is not any biblical admonition not to cut their hair.

Re: Am I being asked to leave?
I was going to mention that I had never Dut my hair, and never plan to!
(uhmmm.... at least I don't think I have or will, since I don't really know what dutting is... it could be some totally cool technique)

I think I might have my hair dut every few weeks. That's what a deautician does to your hair, right?
