me:  Bro. Tim, I will assume from your comment that you think
it is doctrinally correct for women to cut, trim, "whack", bite, clip,
chew  (you get my point)  their hair. By using 1 Cor . 11:16  to support 
your position here, I believe you have missed what Paul was 
*really* saying here. Many people have misused this verse of 
scripture to support their objections that women should have long 
*uncut* hair. They have twisted the meaning of this scripture until it
means exactly the opposite of  what Paul was very *plainly* saying.
I believe Paul's statement in verse 16 was that the churches of God 
have no *other*  custom *than that* which he has just discussed in
the previous 15 verses.

matter *how many*  "bad hair" days I may have) Perine
