I am always amazed when someone stumbles across a years old thread that mentions something like a pastor falling into sin and stepping down from his church and if they happen to be a friend or related to him (usually way too young to actually know what happened in the incident mentioned) they get all indignant and want to rebuke those who may have discussed the incident.
In the process of trying to "protect" their friend or loved one they just bring their failure to the forefront again by bringing a thread that probably has not had any activity for a long time to page one for a lot of new folks to see.
Bottom line is that actions have consequences and one of them is that if you were a well known preacher who falls people are going to want to know what happened to you and where you are today.
My favorite UPC preacher when I was young in the 70's (not WC) has now gone through divorce number three yet considers himself a "father" to younger ministers and "mentors" them. Yikes! One of his "sons" in the ministry is a guy I went to Bible college with who has now gone through divorce number two himself so I guess my old favorite preacher is leading by example!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
