This is not an abortion, it is HAIR, for heaven's sake. Let the precious saint do what she thinks she needs to do and bless her in her decision to do so. I would trust someone with that kind of heart and let them know that as well. People need to know that their pastor believes in them and their ability to hear from the Lord.

If she decides to cut her hair, you better tell her that it doesn't mean she can wear britches!

Well I guess we could rip her hair loose that is not the same as cutting or wait for it to rip out....if we wait long enough she will die and her salvation in tacted....this is TIC of course....

Stop plucking eyebrows and chins..

I don't think anything is wrong with that...but many would say she should just suffer and pray for healing....

I really had to pray about drinking it because I was so afraid of "looking like the world". I drank it, but waited until I was well out of sight before taking a sip. I respect this brother and his mother for their convictions and pray God will bless them as they follow Him.

Good thoughts....I have gone from ultra con...to totally liberal and now I am what I consider being sane and mature in my faith!
