Britney's Cleansing

Yeah, so this is yet another "Britney Spears" post. But I promise this one is a little different then the rest of the news that we've been use to hearing over the past few days. Fist off, I was just as shocked as the rest of the world when I saw her head shaved down to peach fuzz. Everyone was coming to their own conclusions about her behavior, that is if they could even draw their own in the first place. Some just didn't get it at all to try to understand it.
I decided to read in a little deeper into this. Now remember that she converted to the Jewish faith with Madonna as her mentor. She did claim to have put it on the backburner because of the financial burden it was putting on her, but did she really. I recently saw a video of her, it was footage from a news report on ABC that showed her inside of a tattoo parlor bearing her freshly shorn head. She was also sporting the Star of David on her necklace.....but it was turned so that it was hanging down along her spine. For some reason I thought that shaving your head was some sort of cleansing process and decided to look further into it online. I think I succeeded in finding this article on Nazarite's.....people who have formed a seperation from God. Anyhoo, it does have to do with the Jewish faith.....please read, and try to understand why she MAY have shaved her head:

Commands to the Nazarite
" "All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow." Numbers 6:5 (NKJV)

One of the reproaches the Nazarite had to bear, was having long hair. Some might protest that Jesus had long hair so how could this be the case? In the same era when Jesus appeared on earth, the Apostle Paul wrote the following:
"Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering." 1Corinthians 11:14-15 (NKJV)

Moreover, let us also read the command given in Ezekiel regarding the priests:
"They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow long; but they shall keep their hair well trimmed." Ezekiel 44:20 (NKJV)

There is no Scripture that states that Jesus had long hair. Nevertheless, Jesus bore greater reproach than any Nazarite; however that is not the subject of this teaching.
We see then that the long hair was a reproach to a man, but certainly it was not to a woman. The Scripture even says that a woman's long hair is a glory to her. Nevertheless, after the vow was broken, we read that the head was to be shorn – and it was then that she would bear this particular reproach. A shaved head for a woman has been a sign of shame for thousands of years. Female collaborators with the Nazis in countries such as Holland were shorn and paraded in the streets when the war ended. The female Nazarite would bear this for many months after the vow was consummated. Moreover, the hair was a covering of beauty for the woman, so her vanity was also an issue. To some extent this might be ameliorated if she wore a head covering, but the shaving was to take place in public at the Tabernacle of Meeting (Numbers 6:18). "

It's not surprising that this is in fact why she shaved her head. She was ashamed of her overtly wild behavior over the past months. She ended up in rehab for 24 hours. Something might have come over her. I don't know, but I do know it's probably a good idea that she doesn't party with Paris anymore. I mean look at the picture of her with Paris and her son. Paris doesn't even look safe enough to be around him. And I'm extremely happy that the two aren't wearing matching t-shirts anymore. I say, Britney do you.
