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
