Does a Woman letting her hair down summon the power of angels?

And you see, SE, this is as scary to me as those who lay their hair on prayer requests.

So the woman with the alabaster box had her hair down...how else could she wash His feet with it if it weren't down.

And thinking logically, how does one wash their hair without it being 'down'...do we sin when we wash our hair?!

What else did she do that we may do?! Did she eat veggies or drink water?!

See how silly this all sounds when it is examined. Folks just don't think, and to me it is not only silly, it is a frightening thing...

What is the UPCI's official position on this type of thing/worship/power? It seem to be very widespread.

And to think that on another forum, I was ridiculed when bringing this topic up, as several claimed to have never heard of this.

I did have one admin on that forum admit to me that she believed she had power in her hair though....even after her claiming that she'd never heard of this 'doctrine'.......LOL!

This creeps me out. My husband and I pastored in the UPC for 10 years and when I told my husband this type of thing was going on he was just appalled. Somebody needs to make a statement from the top.

Don't hold your breath, ILG.......It looks as though it's coming from the top or at least endorsed from the top.

WWED....What would Emma do about this? What is her opinion?

Or hair in the shape of a funnel.

Isn't this whole hair thing (and the UPC as a whole) getting weirder and weirder and more ingrown?

But, I guess we still have lots of folks looking our way (and laughing).

It is evil because women should not be seen in public with hair that is down. If you people believed like we do and wore head-coverings, you would never have to even consider whether this doctrine had any legitimacy.

Think that will happen in our lifetime?

I am planning to save all my PPH books. I suspect things will look very different in 20 years.

I am not a violent person, but after reading some of your posts, I just want to SLAP the living daylights out of you, Emma!!!
