Joshua,
you pointed out that Christal Gail didnt cut her hair but if you were a true 
fan of her's you convinently forgot to mention the fact that her oridganal 
reason for not cutting it had nothing to do with relidgous reasons.  she 
herself will even say that it was a prideful thing...her hair was viewed as 
her glory...and besides she eventually did cut it in the later days...is it 
still being modist to not cut your hair if you have so much pride in it that 
you refused to cut it??
and if we aren't supposed to cut our hair would you also tell us that we 
must cover our heads also in order to remain modest??  where do you draw the 
line???
do you whare shorts in the summer time? some ppl would say you are being 
imodest for doing so...how bout short sleeved shirts??   as I said, where do 
you draw the line??
