Well this isn't news you hear everyday. A Texas pastor is against weaves and tries to forbid is congregation from wearing weaves as well. He believes weaves present a false image and only women who have low self-esteem wear them. Americanpreachers.com reports
Pastor A.J. Aamir recently told his leadership staff at Resurrecting Faith, DO NOT wear 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” said Pastor Aamir. Pastor Aamir admits he was raised in a strict household. His mother and father are members of the Islamic faith. At 39 years old, he leads a congregation whose average age is 22. “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” he told AmericaPreachers.com.
I cannot disagree with this point though. I don't buy hair for this very reason. I am not about to dish out $300 dollars for some hair. Trust me, i have tried to buck myself up to do it. It's not happening. He does have a point about getting your priorities together.
“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.” Pastor Aamir acknowledges he cannot legally prohibit women from wearing weaves in church, but he still highly disapproves it. Resurrecting Faith was founded by Pastor Aamir and is located in Waco, Texas.
Yes i am VERY ready to hear your thoughts on the topic. Do you think this pastor who is against weaves is being extreme or do you think he has a point?
