  Active Bethelites, former Bethelites, is it true that brothers are not allowed to have their head fully shaved?

  i just heard this directly from a circuit heavyweight i had the displeasure of conversing with recently.

  he and i got into a little bit of a heated conversation about following the direction of the slave as related to education, and he used the example of bethelites being prohibited from having fully shaved heads.

  he was taken aback when i expressed how utterly ridiculous such a policy was/is.

  In answer to the OP, yes it is true.

  I am unaware of a scriptural basis. But when I was at Bethel, I was talked to informally about my haircut being too low, shy of being bald.

  I also know of a brother personally, who was at Bethel when I was, that was counseled about this. He was a black brother. He would give himself a haircut rather than go to the Bethel barbershop. He shaved it off several times until he was talked to. And he personally told me he was counseled.

  I found it strange at the time, but it wasn't enough to make me question the "slave".

  For me, it was when they kicked out Ray Franz and Ed Dunlap

  for me, it was when they kicked out ray franz and ed dunlap.. .

  i knew about the reform movement they started through ed's brother - and stupidly believed it could work.. .

  the clouds were truly parted and i could see it for what it was when they were ejected for nothing but trying to ask for biblical reform.. .

  the rest of that song is completely trash, but you have to admit that part where the beat changes and it gets all thunderous.....is serious business.

  i mean it goes from yellow canaries to godzilla in a flash and you can't help but to get into it.

  leave it to the wt to not capitalize on the part that's actually good.

  Apostates defeated once again.....

  before the mentally diseased apostates could get their hands on and dissect any information regarding the convention that hadn't been released to regular publishers/elders...the society released the district program on the official site completely and utterly slaying every single demented apostate on the face of the earth.

  now have fun dissecting it kiddos, while we big kids get a taste of solid, spiritual meet this summer.

  continue drowning in misery while god's people go on rejoicing and enduring these last days.
