yes alot do
and although the new testiment says its shameful to grow the hair long the old testimendt says thats why its holy
but thats just another contradiction which they like to say well we started a new chapter..basicly rewrote the religion i guess they thought this isnt working so good lets start ovrr
ofcourse guys like king james and otrhers had to meddle too and rewrite it the way they liked it
its funny though the church would beayt native american chgildren to death for speaking their own language or for wearing the hair long
from 1930 to 1970 the church took aboriginese kids away if they werent pure aboriginese and forced them to be servents often killing them in the process again forcing them to cut the hair and beating them for speaking their language
there was a movie on sundance recently..what was it called? i forget
3 half caste aboriginese kids age 8-14 were stolen from thie parents
oh its called the rabbit proof fence..
they were taken to a bording school at the opositeend of the country
they escaped and walked from 1 end of the country to the other ..took 3 monthsall the while eluding a tracker and the police
this is a true story btw
after returning hiome they married and had kids and again were taken away to the same school..and for a second time escaped and walked home but the 1 girl died in the school and the 1 womans child wasnever seen again
but they ..the church thought it was for thier own good that they destroy their culture and force them into virtual slavery
srry went ona rant slightly unrelated to the question
but yea many do take the vow we probly have several dozen or more on here who have..possibly a hundred or 2 or m9ee i dunno
the diet restrictions arent hard and are very healthy just be veghatarian avoud fruits of the vine and anything with any chemicals ayt all
dont even cook in aluminum or anythubg that might trafer any chemicalsto the food
its an xtremely pure lifestyle
but isnt that the purpose to taking such a vow?
