Sluthair

What yours truly perceives as current limitations of html-file-name lengths causes a dilemma of potential confusion.

Titles and names of files must be up to but not exceeding eight (8) alpha-numeric characters.

Hence, the title to this piece could be either misconstrued as a meaningless "sluthair" as one strange and peculiar eight-lettered word, or - if broken up into sections - either a ludicrously-meaningless "slu thair" or "sluth air" or . . .

"Slut hair."

You get only one guess as to which of the above has been intended.

Let me cut right to the chase, because it is not my desire to waste time trying to be cutesy.

This past summer (as with all previous summers this webpage author has endured) many neighborhood and city and visiting female humans of various ages (notably the younger and generally not the elderly) have displayed themselves in general public view (during warmer weather) with long hair appreciatively tied back into a single back-of-head ponytail . . . but while insidiously exposing their naked legs with shorts and/or toes-baring feet with soxless noisy flipflop sandals.

You recall that also? TRY to remember. Please try.

Now that the outdoor temperatures are dropping as we head into late autumn and frigid Minnesota winter, the annual style and fashion of such previously-ponytailed but totally-non-repentant fully-intend-to-do-it-again-next-year women flaunting the nakedness of their nude legs and toes has rather predictably changed to presumptively-redemptive-not-at-all-atoning-for-past-immodesty slacks and socks with non-sandal shoes . . . but with hanging-below-mouth-level loose long hair.

If it isn't one thing, it's another.

It is obvious that such impenitent human females are determined to thus antisocially and damnably harass the opposite gender sexually in one way or another, depending not merely upon the outdoor temperature but also vainly excusing themselves by the season of the year such temperatures might or might not occur within.

Now, at this point, many of you readers can readily detect and sense where I have gone and are going with this. And, correspondingly, you are immediately reacting either positively or negatively, either agreeably -- or instead defensively in growing resentment or even subtle-to-livid hostility.

Concordant with the immentality of the latter, the adversarial thought is: "Oh, here we go again with him being hung up with his obsession on that hair thing . . . ready to attack women without minding his own business with his twisted and out-of-context diatribe of Bible-verse quotations."

[ Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 23:9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he/she will despise the wisdom of your words.
Micah 2:6 "Do not preach (or intrusively/abusively spam)" -- thus they preach (or intrusively-abusively spam) -- "one should not preach (or e-mail) of such things; disgrace will not overtake us."
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and wickedness of men/women who by their wickedness suppress the truth.
Second Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and wander away from the truth into myths.
Revelation 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy." ]

The content of their slander is only partially correct, and if they persisted in so slandering me with such exact words, a possible lawsuit could commence because of which a court might adjudicate in my favor in considering their accusation "inflicting mental anguish" by maliciously imposing fraudulent misrepresentation and defamation, which (if determined by the judge has substantially and severely affected me monetarily) would require monetary remedy for me and restitution from them (and God knows that I need the money!) . . . but if they instead wanted to be thorough enough and honest enough they would re-word the semantics of their accusation as follows . . .

"Oh, here we go again with him understandably attempting to righteously counter the whore-like mopheaded immodesty of ignorant or defiant women and not ladies obsessed with - again - seasonably and terroristically and indecently flaunting their loose long hair (hanging below mouth-level) like fornicative adulteresses in view of hapless-victim males they currently are not married to who have not asked for such random and sometimes-anonymous visual assault . . . which he is trying to correct and rectify by selectively quoting pertinent Scripture verses in clear and plain applicable context within his admirable and much-needed scholarly dissertations and essays."

. . . and it would be quite evident to everyone that I am not "obsessed" with any "addictive hang-up" and that I do not have anything against either "hair" or even "loose long hair" (in proper situational circumstances and confinement), and that I am neither "attacking" nor "abusing" nor even "despising" women (at least in general) - especially physically.

First Kings 18:17 When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is it you, you troubler of Israel?"
First Kings 18:18 And [Elijah] answered, "I have not troubled Israel; but you have, and your father's house, because you have rejected the commandments of the LORD and followed the Baals.

Proverbs 30:6 Do not add to His words, lest He criticize you, and you be found a liar.

Second Corinthians 4:2 We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Second Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Second Peter 3:15 And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
Second Peter 3:16 speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.

Hebrews 3:8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness
Hebrews 3:15 while it is said, "Today, when you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
Hebrews 4:7 again He sets a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, when you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."

Revelation 22:18 I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
Revelation 22:19 and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

As yours truly has mentioned many times before in many of his internet-webpage "essays" and "sermonettes" or whatever, the motivations of females lewdly displaying loose long hair, either not tied into a back-of-head single ponytail, or into an up-do chignon or bun or pug, or completely covered with an Amish bonnet or Russian/Chinese-peasant scarf or muslim hijab or burka, are myriad and manifold.

Although this webauthor has disseminated his copious Scripture-based anti-mopheadedness-in-general-public-view writings so extensively and relentlessly in the recent and not-so-recent past, it behooves him to again remind those who incessantly resort to shamefully and despicably defiling themselves and others with the "letting down of their [long] hair" when in general public view, that those who deliberately continue to pseudo-ignorantly and deliberately impose the sights of their loosened long hair in general mixed-gender public view (or even reasonably-possible mixed-gender public view) are NOT going to end up in Heavenly Glory with the Savior and Lord plus His holy saints.

The only alternative is the equivalent of them being suspended in mid-air in total Outer Darkness (as in an underground cavern or cave with all the lights turned off) and constantly being roasted in a 500-degree Fahrenheit oven or being set afire with gasoline to forever burn in agony and anguish within invisible flames of The Lake of Fire -- to the ages of the ages. [ LITERAL Hellfire and brimstone, indeed! Yes, it is THAT serious!]

Deuteronomy 30:11 "For this commandment which I command you this day is not too hard for you, neither is it far off."

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man/woman lays a snare, but he/she who trusts in the LORD is safe.

John 7:13 Yet for fear of the jews [who do not deserve to be called Jews with a capital J] no one spoke openly of Him.
John 12:42 Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in Him, but for fear of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John 12:43 for they loved the praise of men/women more than the praise of God.
John 19:38 After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate allowed him to. So he came and took away His body.
John 20:19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Romans 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by consistency and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

First Corinthians 4:17 Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.
First Corinthians 10:11 Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.
First Corinthians 15:1 Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand,
First Corinthians 15:2 by which you are saved, if you hold it fast -- unless you believed in vain.

Second Corinthians 1:13 For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; I hope you will understand fully

First Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, The Word of God, which is at work in you believers.

Second Peter 1:12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

Jude 1:5 Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that He who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

And now for the same old, same old -- a weary but necessary rehash of doctrines-of-demons irrationalizations pro-mopheadedness-in-general-public-view females and their pervert male-patsy accomplices cococt and impose:

"I never notice whatever hairstyle is their own business."
"Their hair does not titillate me [and I'm a damn liar]."
"Their loose long hair does not bother me [and consequently watch me secretly masturbate to more porn later on]."
"Their hair is part of their natural God-given body, so they should not be ashamed of it."
"What do you want them to do - cut it all off so they're bald?"
"Men like to see playboy-liberated public-view mopheadedness, and it attracts them."
"How am I supposed to look erotically desirable to men if I don't attract them by flaunting my mopheadedness at them all?
"It doesn't matter if I irresponsibly attract a group of men to solicit me for sex by my non-solicited mopheadedness, because I can sadistically and selfishly turn down any and all at my whims whenever I want."
"If they do not like my mopheadedness, they can blind themselves by plucking out their eyes if they cause themselves to selfishly sin."
"Mature men can turn away from looking at the mopheaded feces that I have shoved into their faces without their previous permission."
"I'm expected to display my long hair loose, or critics will question or criticize me about it if I all of a sudden tie it up and consistently keep it tied up."
"Get your mind out of the gutter."
"It's a free country, so I have constitutional liberty to wear my hair however I want whenever I want."
"Women are supposed to display their glory, according to First Corinthians chapter 11. There's nothing wrong with it."
"Why nitpick about hair?"
"It's entirely legal to display loose long hair in general public view. Cops don't have a problem with it."
"Even mopheaded Jesus wore effeminate long hair as displayed in pervert-artist "fine"-art paintings and sculptures."
"Everyone wore sandals over their bare feet in Biblical times so that their naked toes showed. It's the religious thing to do, so I don't have to go to church."
"I have to compete against rival mopheads with my own porno-mopheadedness to selfishly grab male attention for myself."
"Man looks on the outward, but the Lord looks at the heart."
"Don't sweat the small stuff."
"Nobody else complains about loose long hair in general public view, so why should you?"
"As I said before, should we misregard our God-given bodies as dirty and obscene?"
"Don't be legalistic. We're not under law but under grace. Saved by faith alone. Jesus has forgiven and forgives any accidental oopsie I do, if it is sin which is not mortal."


Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in mopheadedness-displaying sin that grace may abound?
Romans 14:15 If your brother is honestly being injured by your self-centered general-public-view mopheadedness, and your lame-excuse irrationalizations supporting it, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what your supposedly-"sexy" noxious mopheaded hairstyle cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.
James 4:17 Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him or her it is sin.

Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

John 19:15 They bellered out: "Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar/Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Saddam/Obama."

Acts 17:5 But "the" jews were jealous, and taking some wicked fellows of the rabble, they gathered a crowd, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.
Acts 17:6 And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, shouting: "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
Acts 17:7 and Jason has received them; and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

Acts 21:27 When the seven days were almost completed, "the" Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd, and laid hands on him,
Acts 21:28 blurting out: "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching men everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place."

Acts 25:7 And when he had come, "the" jews who had gone down from Jerusalem stood about him, bringing against him many serious charges which they could not prove.
8 Paul said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all."
9 But Festus, wishing to do "the" jews a favor, said to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?"
10 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried; to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you know very well.
11 If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go."

Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful [wicked] works of [mopheadedness-in-general-public-view] darkness, but instead expose them.

Well, let's consider some Scripture verses - in vital pre-and-post context of whatever lengths - and contemplate any possible connections and relations to all of what has previously been stated above:

Numbers 5:11 And the LORD said to Moses,
12 'Say to the people of Israel, "If any man's wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully against him,
13 if a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is non-detected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, since she was not taken in the act;
14 and if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself;
15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a cereal offering of jealousy, a cereal offering of remembrance, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 "And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD;
17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind the hair of the woman's head

[ NOTE: the NASV has this phrase instead: "...and loosen her hair"]
, ]

and place in her hands the cereal offering of remembrance, which is the cereal offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
19 Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness, while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse.
20 But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
21 then' (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) 'the LORD make you an execration and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh fall away and your body swell;
22 may this water that brings the curse pass into your bowels and make your body swell and your thigh fall away.' And the woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
23 Then the priest shall write these curses in a book, and wash them off into the water of bitterness;
24 and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain.
25 And the priest shall take the cereal offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the cereal offering before the LORD and bring it to the altar;
26 and the priest shall take a handful of the cereal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27 And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has acted unfaithfully against her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become an execration among her people.
28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children.
29 This is the law in cases of jealousy, when a wife, though under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself,
30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
31 The man shall be free from iniquity, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.'"

Interesting pre-and-post context, within which a priest loosens or unbinds the assumed-previously-bound hair of a suspected adulteress! Was that not embarrassing to her? Was that a mild form of sexual assault committed (and not "performed") by the priest - as the woman's husband watched it all?

Next:

Song of Solomon 2:8 The voice of MY beloved! Hey, HE comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills [he is athletically impressive in his mad rush to and for me].
9 MY beloved is like a gazelle, or a young stag. Hey, there HE stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice [He likes to window peep at voluntarily-letting-him-do-it me, because the sight of my LOOSE long hair sensually turns him on].
10 My beloved speaks and says to ME: "Get up, MY love, MY fair one, and come away [in secluded privacy, out of general public view so we are not arrested for lewd-and-lascivious-misbehavior indecent-exposure disorderly-conduct];
11 for wow, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Get up, MY love, MY fair one, and come away [in secluded privacy, out of general public view so we are not arrested for lewd-and-lascivious-misbehavior indecent-exposure disorderly-conduct].
14 Oh MY dove, in the clefts of the rock [in secluded privacy, out of general public view so we are not arrested for lewd-and-lascivious-misbehavior indecent-exposure disorderly-conduct], in the covert of the cliff [in secluded privacy, out of general public view so we are not arrested for lewd-and-lascivious-misbehavior disorderly-conduct indecent exposure], let me see YOUR face [NOT the face(s) of other mopheads], let me hear YOUR voice [NOT the voices of other women bellering out as background non-Muzak/non-only-instrumental noise in grocery and other stores and on TV], for YOUR voice is sweet, and YOUR face is attractive [NOT the voices and faces of prostitution-equivalent incall or outcall masseuses or escorts or whoever].
15 Catch us the [immodest, and particularly-mopheaded] foxes, the little foxes [who pseudo-innocently or indifferently or arrogantly roam around spewing out their deplorable and anger-inciting mopheadedness at random], that spoil the "vineyards" [and then arrest them, fine them, imprison them, imprison them even longer, and if necessary execute repeat offenders], for OUR [bodily] vineyards are in blossom."
16 MY beloved is MINE and I am HIS, HE pastures HIS flock among the lilies.
17 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, MY beloved, be like a gazelle, or a young stag upon rugged mountains.

Song of Solomon 7:1 How graceful are YOUR footsteps in sandals, royal maiden [obviously, this is not a homosexual relationship]! YOUR rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
2 YOUR navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. YOUR belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
3 YOUR two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4 YOUR neck is like an ivory tower. YOUR [no-longer-veiled] eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim. YOUR nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.
5 YOUR head crowns you like Carmel, and YOUR flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.

[ NOTE: "Flowing locks?" WHAT in the wide, wide, wide world of sports is THAT supposed to mean? WHAT the duce is THAT? Is the writer talking about some sexy-snit-mopheaded-trying-to-attract-TV-viewship TV newscasteress or use-the-female-body-as-a-sex-object-to-get-attention female mophead in some TV advertisement or the conformist-to-popular-hedonism female-coed photos of some high-school yearbook or nude-model harlot(s) pictured in some porno-gallery website(s)? WHO is he referring to? His OWN bride who ONLY HE is currently MARRIED to, and belongs to NO ONE ELSE? WHY is that phrase "flowing locks" NOT in the KJV nor NIV nor most other modern Bible (mis)translations, but instead merely reads: "hair" in such here-woefully-lacking renditions ??? ]

6 How fair and pleasant YOU are [not other mopheads], loved one, delectable maiden!
7 YOU are stately as a palm tree, and YOUR breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may YOUR breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of YOUR breath like apples,
9 and YOUR kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, flowing over lips and teeth of sleepers.
10 I am MY beloved's, and HIS desire is for ME [NOT other competing lewd-hairstyle mopheads].
11 Come, MY beloved [WHOSE "beloved?"], let US go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages;
12 let US go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give YOU MY love.
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over OUR doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for YOU [NOT other men who have in NO way solicited the irritation of my imposed mopheadedness on and against them], MY beloved.

Song 8:1 Oh that YOU were like a brother to ME, who nursed at my mother's breast! If I met YOU outside, I would kiss YOU, and none would despise ME.
2 I would lead YOU and bring YOU into the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her who conceived me. I would give YOU spiced wine to drink, the juice of MY pomegranates.
3 Oh that HIS left hand were under MY head, and that HIS right hand embraced ME.
4 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please [by immodestly imposing non-solicited non-asked-for erotically-arousing loose-long-haired mopheadedness in general mixed-gender public view causing not "love" but instead lust].
5 Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon HER beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened YOU. There your mother was in travail with you, there she who bore you was in travail.
6 Set ME [not cheating-by-imposing-seductive-mopheadedness wandering-tramps-of-the-street-lookalikes] as a seal upon YOUR heart, as a seal upon YOUR arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame of the LORD.
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly scorned.
8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister, on the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver; but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10 I was a wall, and MY breasts were like towers; then I was in HIS eyes as one who brings peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.
12 MY vineyard, MY VERY OWN, is for MYSELF [alone, and NOT shared!]; you, Solomon, may [merely] have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit [only] two hundred.
13 You who reside in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice; let me hear it.
14 Hurry, MY beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices.

Notice the YOU and YOUR ownership and non-inclusive non-diverse OWNERSHIP in the pre-and-post context of the passages above - especially relating to displaying and displayed LOOSE long hair!

And finally:

First Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
2 I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.
3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,
5 but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head: it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6 For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.
7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
10 That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;
12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.
13 Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14 Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,
15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 If any one intends to be contentious, we recognize no SUCH practice, nor do the churches of God.

The "churches of God" "do not recognize" a contentious person who mis-asserts that loose long hair is OK and acceptable as a prayer covering or veil.

So, IS a woman supposed to display not simply her glorious loose long hair to every Tom, Dick, and Harry indiscriminately? How about her displaying her other body parts also to rudely-and-impolitely selfishly-and-inordinately attract attention to herself as a conforming-to-Satan-and-his-demons-and-their-human-accomplices mindless morlock and moron. . . rather than keeping her potentially-devastating loose-long-haired buried treasure tied up into a decent chignon or pug or bun, tied into a back-of-head single ponytail, completely covered with a Russian-or-Chinese-peasant-farm-worker scarf, Amish bonnet, winter stocking cap out in the cold, or islamic-fundamentalist burka or hijab?
