  nativenyr23....... can't remember where it written....but doesn't it also say that a woman's hair qualifies as her "covering"?

  1 Corinthians 11:15. F.Y.I.

  I could not help thinking that when Jesus was here he kept the Jewish law, but did so with reasonableness and common sense, ie: plucking ears of corn on a Sabbath, curing the sick on a Sabath, and he did not tell off the woman who pressed through a crowd to touch him, although she was "unclean" through a "Flow of blood"

  My point is, if they purport to follow his example then they would not be creating rules for every occasion, so that the unwary can be cought out and "Lovingly counselled"

  Bah Humbug PHARISEES!

  I think I'll go look into the Muslim religion! The women wear those cute little cover-ups, from head to toe.

  Ozzie,

  I was noticing how your signature ties in with this.

  Freedom means not having to wear a tie.

  Freedom also means, not having to wear a head covering!

  2. Giving oral

  What? You mean you can give oral as long as you wear a head covering?

  Hmm...I may have taken that out of context...

  Yes I must agree this is very much like reading some Pharissee rule book. What about when the moon is full and the sister has just eaten unleaven bread, then is she good, cuz she hasn't taken fremented cakes into her belly? Grrr! It's just so stupid--do they really believe Jehovah gives a rats ass about headcoverings?

  My wifes mom once came over to lecture me about some perceived disrespect I had shown to her at a "Family Meal" (Think Thanksgiving, Folks LOL) She came over wearing curlers and a scarf (even though she was staying home that day and doesn't normally use curlers, anyway) toting her green Bible on a silver platter (which she was returning) and began quoting some obscure scripture from Leviticus about respecting "grey haired ones". At first my wife and I couldn't figure out the reason for her curlers and scarf, but later had a good laugh. The platter was the icing on the cake. You have to picture this and feel quite sorry for her.
