I want dreads!!

what do u mean you don't BECOME hasidic?? it's not a race it's a religion and the last time i checked you can be whatever religion you want. you may be born to jewish parents but being jewish is not youR ethnicity it's your religion. and dreads are not dead, the hair i mean, it's just matted and it still grows as long as its attached to your scalp.so what if i braided my hair and never unbraided it would it grow? of course it would.

 

R U SURE ABOUT THAT because when something is dead there is no growth.

 

I' M SORRY I MISREAD IT, I'M HALF BLACK TOO!!!!!!

 

......

 

My mum doesn't take on all of that "worldly people" stuff, soem of the people in that religion that are converted feel that way too, so I don't like when people say stuff like that, no offence there, just saying.

 

Brain stew i want a million dollars am i gunna get it no .. so deal with what your going through. Your under your mothers roof. As for dreads i would not allow my children to get them either unless my husband allowed (husband childrens) ... I personally don't agree that children can make their own decisions till they are out of the house BUT who am i to say. They have a voice and that voice matters EVERY child makes mistakes and will everybody does. But believe you me do you think for one second mothers would want green hair on top of their childs head?


They only want the best for them, and obviously your mother wants the best for you.

So you'll have to find a way to deal with this situation in a positive way.

Take it easy

 

Aww...kicking and screaming seems so much more fun.

 

i want dreads just as much as you, but my family and my best friend of 13years said they would have my ass if i ever got dreads.
i fought as hard as i could...then the want finally went away..now i sort of/kinda still want them, but it's not as strong..
the moral is: the hairdo doesn't make the hippie; the haircut does.
=]

 

yes, I am sure. hair is dead.
google it.

 

strange matter of religious opinion... personally, i see dreads as more of an anti-worldly statement than a worldy haircut, but maybe that's my views on it. of course, i adhere to the no-scissors-no-comb rule. so my dreads are formed by the wind and not by a comb. it may not help, but ask your mom to look up the history of the nazerite vow. samson in particular. anti-worldly is my whole reason for being locksman. we call them precepts.

actually, there are a lot of biblical figures that had dreads, though the book doesn't point it out blatantly. you just have to find the references. samson for example... it said he had seven locks of hair since his birth and he was a born nazerite. there was another person... a prince, i think. it said that his hair was the longest and heaviest of the nation and he got his hair caught in a tree and died... or something... i really can't remember right now but if you look you will find lots of dread references in the bible. john the baptist was a nazerite, was he not? eh...

 

I dunno, the one thing I don't get its if the lord says "come as you are" how can he/she deny you because you are comming as you are but not in the manor that many "worlly" people like? That's not very smart, I'm gonna wait until I leave for college and it's tootles for religion!

 

it also says to obey your parents. if it's impossible to change their mind, just wait. it may be better to wait. if you don't have the patience to wait, then dreads probably aren't for you anyways...

 

My parents are really religous and strict, it made me hate religon. and i can't tell them how i feel because they just get angry and it turns into an argument. the more i learn about this religon the more i hate it. I just want to be free and as soon as i can i'm getting out of here but my parents want me to marry a religous guy but i don't want to get married yet and if i did i would want it to be to a hippie guy. they went religous when i was 6 years old and thats when i started hating life cause they put me into a strict religous school and my life changed forever. i belive in god just not in religion.

I like band T-shirts but because it has faces on it, its bad according to my religion and my dad. and i can't have posters of my favorite bands on the wall. I can't listen to music(doesn't stop me) because music is bad in my religion. little things like that because of my parents and them being religous. I always argue with them about all the stuff i disagree with about this religion and they don't even think about it just that if religion says its right then its right.

 

let me try to enlighten you, your hair is not dead. your hair contains dead cells the cells within the strands of your hair are dead that is why when you cut your hair it doesn't hurt.all the hair that you see on your body contains dead cells again so when you shave it doesn't hurt.if it were dead it wouldn't grow.

 

fucking idiot first off jehovas witness secondly she is a black person
is there a problem with black people?

 

well i would like to correct 1 thing here, she is in real danger of dying, she cant even tell her mom when shes got very serius health issues even ones that are potentialy life threattening. shes living in a house that may have a toxic mold problem causing serius health issues & shes not allowed to even leave the house to sit outside or go for a walk
her mom does not have her best interests in heart only her own., & those interests are extremely biosed based on religion
& abuse is definately a problem, emotional & mental abuse
brainstew is incredibly sweet & good, a very good person, yet she feels extreme shame for every single thing she does & says "sorry" at least 100 times in every conversation & is having mental problems as a result of either the abuse or the toxic mold or the fact that shes not aloud to go out interact with people or do anything at all thats not specificaly to please or serve mom
