My ears were bleeding and I was just about insane after the second time through. If I had heard that song in one more language I think I would have snapped and have run shrieking from the attraction.

I have observed some conservatives are very uncomfortable with Christians (or even non-Christians for that matter) who are more liberated than they are themselves.
As a conservative:
1. Do you feel anger or a rightous indignation when around those with a more liberal lifestyle?
2. Do you feel extremely distracted or irritated when a women in slacks and earrings, or a man in shorts
worships God with you at church?
3. Do you feel it is your duty to tell other other Christians they are wrong and you are right in lifestyle?
4. Are you content to show your more conservative lifestyle as appealing, or do you feel compelled to inform them they are mislead?
Disclaimer: Concerning dress and adornment my family and I live quite conservatively - even by UPC standards. My wife and children have long hair (even uncut) and they do wear skirts rather than pants. We wear very little jewelry and my own ears aren't pierced etc... But we do not look down on others - niether in word or practice. We have had many discussions in our community about our modest dress (partly due to the TV show we were part of) but never with the attitude of superiority because of our choices.

I had a problem with a UPC preacher allowing a man to preach with hair down to his shoulders. I think it's different with people on the platform as it is with people in the congregation though.

LOL!!! It works both ways (I am speaking from the standpoint of personal interaction);
1. Conservative On Offense - Constantly looking around judging other Pentecostals and people in general to see if they live up to their particular dress code and perception of "holiness"
2. Lib on Offense - Constantly engaging Pentecostals more conservative than themself in discusions aimed toward changing the conservative persons view on corporate legalism, dress code,etc.
Both are bad to the bone!

What happened to all the conservatives? I thought they were coming back in droves?
