It was also reported that a similar event took place in an orphanage in Siberia. Because of a lice infestation, the staff at the orphange decided to shave all of the girls' heads. The shaver refused to work on the hair of the message followers. But it did work on those that were not message followers. | |||
An interesting question to ask is - why didn't God simply get rid of the lice??? Then all of the girls would have avoided a hair cut. Is God OK with non-Christians having short hair??? | |||
