I don't know why I thought of this, but I remember Bro. Urshan speaking to a group (probably camp meeting) about women needing to wear pantyhose, and that Hell is a lot hotter than what we would experience wearing them here on Earth. That's the dumb Pentecost people get tired of, IMO - which has nothing to do with the Godhead or lovely and powerful Gospel message. I hate threats.

It is this kind of thing that has pushed many away from the OP churches, sadly.
