They are sacrificing their "hair" to their God. Women will go to a place where people , "men" shave them bald, and then turn around and sell the hair to a place in New York City which is made into hair extensions for women in America. Women are paying anywhere from 3,000.00 U.S. dollars for this service which is not a one time shot , it has to be done over and over again.
This aired on Oprah the other day, and they played the footage back to some of the ladies who have been in worship shaving their heads for many years.
Now why would they think God would want them to do this? And to the women paying big bucks for this hair, would it make them feel different knowing this is what is being done to get the hair to them?

Opinion from a Biblical standpoint?
There are also Christian Missionaries over there preaching the Bible and the message of salvation through Christ.

And just last month it was 'fact' in India that the world was ending the next day, odd place if you ask me, so sad,
Sounds a lot like the foreskin trade here in the good ol' USA. Doctors and hospitals con parents into hacking part of their baby boy's weewee off costing them anywhere from $300 to $800 and costing the boy and his future sex partners a portion of his manhood for life... then the sadistic health "professionals" sell those baby foreskins to cosmetic companies for $$$$... disgusting.
What do they care what their hair is used for?
I'd be happy if my hair was going to someone in need when I cut it. Just because their god told them to cut their hair doesn't mean it has to be wasted.
Look at the fortune that The Vatican has amassed by telling people they will burn in hell if they don't tithe the church. Same thing.
It isn't surprising that a religious organization is extorting money from the uneducated, gullible masses.
All the man made religions survive on selling deceit.
I don't know about a Biblical standpoint, but I would consider one more way in which people can be manipulated to give up what others want. "You don't give me your hair, you're going to Hell!" "You don't get on your knees and pray, you're going to Hell!"
"Biblical standpoint"? How about "thou shalt not steal".
Crazy , a world gone mad.
