J. Vernon McGee says: "This had a peculiar and particular application to Corinth. The unveiled woman in Corinth was a prostitute. Many of them had their heads shaved. The vestal virgins in the temple of Aphrodite who were really prostitutes had their heads shaved. The women who had their heads uncovered were the prositutes. Apparently some of the women in the church at Corinth were saying, "All things are lawful for me, therefore, I won't cover my head." Paul says this should not be done because the veil is a mark of subjection, not to man, but to God. Now this had a local application; it was given to the womein in Corinth. Does it apply to our day and society? . . . Seriously, regulations for a woman's dress are in regard to her ministry. If she is the lead, she ought to have her head covered. Other passages will give us more information about this. . . . 1 Tim. 2:8-10. This states that if the woman is to lift up holy hands in the service in leading, she is not to adorn herself to draw attention to herself. Very candidly, it means that the woman is not to use sex appeal in the service of God. That is exactly what it means, my friend. She is not to use sex appeal at all--it will not win her husband to Christ either."

"Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?" [1 Cor. 11:13]
McGee says: "A woman ought not to call attention to herself when she is speaking for the Lord or teaching a Bible class or praying. There should be no sex appeal. Also, she needs to remember that her sex appeal is a tremendous thing which has the power to either lift a man up or drag him down."
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering. [1 Cor. 11:15]
McGee says: "Now it is true that today we have liberty in Christ. The length of the hair is really not so much the issue as the motive behind it. Many men wear long hair as a sign of rebellion, and many women cut their hair as a sign of rebellion. Our moral values get turned upside down, and there is a danger of being an extremist in either direction.
Extremism leads to strange behavior . . ."
McGee, whom I respect, has much to say that contradicts your ridiculous contentions. You are, by the way, being contentious.
Joyce Meyer rubbed me the wrong way the first few times I listened to her....(rough around the edges) but I gave her the benefit of the doubt...and now enjoy her matter-of-fact persona and teaching of the Word. She uses her prior mistakes in life as examples to others (which takes true humbleness before the Lord) and makes jokes about her resistance to being a submissive wife... relating how the Lord had to straighten her out and utilize that strong-willed nature for Him and not for her own selfish desires. I can relate.....believe me. *chuckle*
I'm not a JM junkie... but I think she's sincere and has solid teaching.
