UPC - "Apostolic" Wesleyan Holiness Standards

[Sarah]

Just for the record, I want to say what it was like when I came into Pentecost in the middle 1950's, in MY PART OF THE COUNTRY. Seems where you're from could make a difference in what was being taught. I well remember........

Men didn't wear beards, did wear long sleeves and long pants, no drinking or smoking, etc.

Women did not cut their hair, did not wear pants of any kind, didn't wear makeup.....maybe a few did powder their nose to take away the shine.

People were just getting televisions back then. The middle 50's was when I first heard them called a 'one-eyed devil'. Absolutely NO Pentecostal person went to the movies. If they did, you found them in the altar next church service.

As far as I can tell, the AMF folks are about the only ones who still adhere to most of these 'standards'.

Still Interested?

"everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us"

Women dressed more modestly back then anyhow.

Seems the longer I remain on this board, the more my head spins in amazement at what I didn't know about the Church I was raised in...whew!!

I wasn't too worried about it because I KNEW it was there - just wanted Mr. Blacksher to be able to see it.

I believe he has stated that he would apologize, so hopefully, he will sign back on and read it.
