Pastor Bans Hair Weaves in His Church

Pastor Bans Hair Weaves in His Church

The senior pastor at Resurrecting Faith Church in Waco, Texas has advised his female congregation not to wear weaves to church. 39 year old Pastor A.J. Aamir said he grew wary of looking out over his congregation and seeing a sea of hair weaves. Pastor Aamir feels women wearing weaves presents a false image of themselves and are associated with women who have low self-esteem.

“Our black women are getting weaves trying to be something and someone they are not. Be real with yourself is all I’m saying,” Pastor A.J. Aamir told AmericaPreachers.com.

He said he “highly disapproves” of women wearing weave in his church, where the average age of the congregation is 22. Meaning most female members wear weaves.

“Long hair don’t care. What kind of mess is that? I don’t want my members so focused on what’s on their heads and not in their heads. I lead a church where our members are struggling financially. I mean really struggling. “Yet, a 26-year-old mother in my church has a $300 weave on her head. No. I will not be quiet about this.”

But why is a pastor concerning himself with a woman's hair? I thought it was more about what's in your heart and soul and not what's on your head? Anyway, I'm sure he’ll change his mind when tithes and offering decreases. Then he will be yelling 'All weaves aboard' Lol. #kidding. Your thoughts?

The Downtown 2 Saturday 6/22 After 4pm

The Downtown 2 Saturday 6/22 After 4pm

The subway was very crowded for a Saturday.

And you were there, in your funky little gray hat,

With your oversized brown leather bag,

Your khaki shorts and sandals.

It was like a moment from a movie.

We were maneuvering around each other,

and then the train switched from express to local.

I really don’t get the sort of feeling I got

With just any subway rider!

And I sensed maybe you felt something too

when our hands touched.

But then I exited, and I suspect

I’ll never see those beautiful brown eyes again.

It is, after all, a city of 8 million,

And maybe you’re just visiting for the summer.

If nothing else, I hope you know

you made an unpleasant subway ride

into something magical.

Ice Coffee Man and Ice Green Tea Woman

We were walking side by side today,

When curiosity got the best of me,

and i asked if you were drinking ice green tea.

We briefly discussed tonight’s maybe full moon,

that it’s the 3rd day of summer,

that far rockaway is rod,

Highline is ok but far away.

You mentioned you had just graduated,

I told you about my small biz.

Wishing I had asked for your number,

Or invited you out.

I white guy, goatee, shorts,

Green 70s shirt, painter, dj, poet.

You, asian, female, long hair

with blonde highlights, and a great voice.

Talk more? Meet somewhere

In the middle

under full moon?

Because...

....it’s summer I miss you the most.

People have come and gone

and yet somehow I know

that our connection was different;

I can recall the way you laugh,

Your touch (though we did not get enough).

So if you are reading this...

Xoxo

Central Park, 1st Day of Summer Holidays

Brit meets Boston girl

with half boston terrier

and french bull dog.

you are smart, fun, chatty

And tress chic

for a chica in the parquet

Would love to continue

Our conversation

Over a vino tinto one day soon

hasta pronto?

N Train Monday Evening Rush Hour

You looked beautiful

In that blue and green summer dress.

You fidgeted, flipped your hair,

and looked at your nails.

I admired the red strap of your watch,

even before the mother and her son

forced me to fall into you at Canal Street.

Respond and tell me what I was wearing/holding.

Maybe we can go out...

end up in bed together, jail, the river,

Listen to Metallica, eat popcorn,

or all of the above.

INTERNET DATING

How online dating is killing commitment: Millions of women think love is just a click away. But easy-come, easy-go internet romance can ruin your chance of a lasting relationship

Her experiences are mirrored by many women, who find that internet dating is great if you want a casual fling, but not for anything longer lasting because there are so many dishonest men seeking cheap thrills.

Others admit that the sheer choice available online has made them too picky when it comes to finding a partner. 

Today, nine million Britons will log on to look for love. But is this a trend that could change the very nature of romance and turn long-term commitment into a thing of the past? Is the internet destroying monogamy?

'Internet dating left men and women on a never-ending hunt for the perfect partner, thinking: "A few more dates and I’ll find The One"'

 

There is striking evidence to suggest that the web is causing social change. Traditionally, women might have had one or two boyfriends before getting married; now, they are encouraged to date lots of people in a quest to find a perfect partner.

With an unlimited number of other people on offer via the internet, there’s little incentive to work it out if things get tough. And with the cloak of anonymity the net provides, it’s never been easier to be unfaithful.

Dan Winchester, founder of dating site Free Dating, predicts that the future will see lots of relationships, but more divorce.

‘I often wonder whether matching you up with great people is getting so efficient and the process so thrilling that marriage will become obsolete,’ he says.

It’s a view shared by Greg Blatt, global head of Match.com, Britain’s biggest dating site.

‘Historically, commitment has been the goal,’ he says. ‘You could say online dating is simply changing people’s ideas about whether commitment is desirable.’

With online dating being big business, it’s easy to see why the websites, many of which charge joining fees or monthly subscriptions, have a vested interest in not wanting people to settle down.

But the transient nature of internet dating is of huge concern to relationship experts. Agony aunt and Counsellor Dr Pam Spurr say there has been a change in people’s attitudes towards finding love.

She cautions that, despite its popularity, there’s a dark side to logging on to find love.

‘The internet has opened up this sense of “Where do I stop?” ’ she says. ‘In previous generations, people met a partner and accepted they wouldn’t be perfect in every aspect, but internet dating is like a chocolate box that never stops giving.
