3. Did you attend a church that required the cutting of long hair and hiding of all tats? OMG, I would never have fit into a church like that. The more non-conformist the better for me. Many people think of church as a stuffy place where people get dressed up and pretend to be pious. If my church were like that I would have been thrown out the first day I walked in. Even the music we listen to in church would be unacceptable in mainstream church. Its modern, funky, rock, rap, hip hop, jazz, etc. Its just not your typical church. . .
It wasn't so much that they required me to cut my hair... It was more of the general looks and "ministering too" that I would inevitably receive when I walked in when my hair was still long.
It probably didn't help that I could usually talk them around in circles when they started quoting bible verses or the traditional church "mythology". (and I hate to use that term, but can't think of another one that really fits explaining the many stories within the 'canon' in a quick and easy way)
