Re: Dr.'s and Pagan Holidays and D and R.
ysererriloaljreleedmnmn,
My understanding is that the WWPF membership includes a wide range of views within the conservative wing of Oneness Pentecost.
I would imagine you will find some that oppose Holidays and some that celebrate them with vigor. I think their common bond is more toward objecting to things like video, lights, motions with singing, etc than some rigid set of ultra conservative standards.
There will always be those extremists who don't celebrate "pagan" holidays but I don't see them rejecting the calendar we operate under which is full of "pagan" things such as the months of the year, days of the week, etc.
Those are the same people whose convoluted logic tries to say people who have Christmas trees are worshipping them. Fringe extremists in an already small religous sect.

"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."
