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.

Crisis of Conscience

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.. .
