I have to agree with this statement. I was on a business trip to NC about five years ago and in my hotel room caught SM doing a telethon for some Christian tv network I had never heard of.
What I heard and saw so filled me with rightous indignation I could not hardly sleep that night. The appeal to poor elderly folks to give what they did not have to "plant a seed" and they would get back more was the prosperity gospel garbage at its worst. I truly was shocked at what I saw and heard.
The thought that people lump me in "the same boat" with SM as an exUPCer who has "gone charismatic" is very distressing to me.

"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."
