wow.
I have heard some XMormons say that their beliefs were weird but not as crazy as Jehovah's Witnesses.
I always thought theirs was weirder, with the whole rule your own planet thing.
Maybe our stuff just sounds less weird, Simon because it was our weird stuff and we were used to it.
But, yeah, Scientology is nutty. But, at least they don't believe in the god of the bible.

No way a mainline Christian would care that a man dressed in a "metrosexual" way or a woman had a short haircut.
My husband's family go to church in shorts and tshirts. Even his grandmother wore those polyester doubleknit baggy shorts and a pullover knit shirt to church before she died.
Mainline churches don't care what people wear.
Evangelical churches might be a little different.

Thanks for the info, Finkelstein. I didn't know they actually did that.
So, did you cut your hair and have your pants narrowed?
Were they then too narrow and therefore become 'tight pants?'
Exactly what measurement is okay for the pant leg opening?

Good point, Simon. A larger more forgiving group versus a smaller more fanatic group.
I fear for the latter being created and hiding away in the Warwick compound.

Not surprised, Simon, but outraged that such a subjective thing could actually be used to deny participation in field service.
Refusing to allow people to participate in field service is actually a new thing. It is a signal of ever-tightening control.

Yes, LUHE, I do have other reasons in mind. I'm afraid that elders might give the 'metrosexual' excuse to those they believe are gay.
And, true, organizations can provide interpretation for 'metrosexual,' but they haven't done that. They've used the vague term 'metrosexual' without clarification. To me this smacks of the same stuff as the word 'brazen;' a vague excuse to discipline someone they don't like.

I'm not saying that freedom of expression is absolute.
What I am saying is that 'metrosexual' is a very subjective idea and leaves a lot open to interpretation. This makes it really easy to target and persecute a person for other reasons.
