I dont see why one would need to compromise the position of uncut hair to offer opposition to MH.
I have never heard it or heard of it until FCF. Never heard it preached-taught-or testified about.

Bro, RR has written books. this idea of "because of the Angels" thing means that there is supreme power in uncut hair. LS's sermon was quite clear.

the Harald had an article about a lady laying her hair on her sick child and the child recovering.

Now I fully believe that FAITH exercised along with reminding God of a life long commitment, CAN AND DOES move God.

But it seems that this is a movement that is gaining ground and has a direction. It has been taught at Ladies conferences accross the country.

i think it is more pervasive than you think.

But you do know that there has been at least 1 person writing books about it, a person who is well excepted in the UPCI, right?

I see what you're saying, but I just don't see it as explosive as many others do. If that lady had laid a prayer cloth, oil, an apron, or anything else on that child and prayed, I would not be accusing her of trying to replace the Power of God. Particularly since the Bible does place some significance on the hair.

Why don't we just glorify flesh even more and teach our girls to practice magic tricks with their long hair and start laying it on kids at school? Why save all the magic for just ourselves? Why not share with the world?

I never heard of her or the book until FCF. But what do you expect from a woman?
