ultracon - no tv, no movies, no worldly music (some internet).
Women's issues: Magic hair, no makeup, wedding bands & watches only, long skirts.
con - educational and PG movies. Oldies & love songs.
Women's issues: Trim hair, blush only, sentimental value jewlery, kulaks(sp?).
mod - historical & artistic value movies. Any music with artistic merit.
Women's issues: Styled hair, blush, lipgloss, clear nail polish; bracelets, pants in extremely cold weather.
lib - Any movie of social relevance (unless a favorite actor is starring, ie: Antonio Banderas in 'Desperado'). Any music that is not explicit (unless it is socially relevant, ie: Tupac Shakur hip hopping about shooting racists cops).
Women's issues: Shoulder length hair, any type of makeup or jewlery that is not gawky, occasional pants, an occasional glass of wine (optional).
Don't even libs have standards? Please clarify any misunderstanding on my part about definitions.

Actually, I voted before I read YOUR definitions.

LOL.....I don't think the UCs, Cons, Mods or Libs will agree on those definitions. Many UCs think the magic hair thing is a crock.

Actually, I think the funniest thing that is coming out of this thread is that the UC's can't agree with the other UC's as to what an UC is, and the Con's can't agree with the other Con's what a Con really is, and the same for the Mods and the Libs.
No wonder we have such lively discussions here. Nobody really knows what anybody really is. LOL!!!

You seem to be mixing Liberal Oneness Pentecostal with Liberal Social/political

There was the Holy Mount.
The Holy Day sabbath.
Holy Ground.
The Children of Israel were a Holy nation. Set apart and dedicated to God.
Then the Holiness that applies to man.
Is it the love for God and one another? Is it the dedication to God and his Spirit in us that makes us holy and not we our selves?
Our flesh is not holy. No matter how your dress and clean a pig, it's still a pig.
Our righteousness is but filthy rags. So how can we in our selves by deed or apparel be holy?
Our Holiness and righteousness comes from Jesus, his blood and Holy Ghost.
No one can be holy; except it be the Holiness of Jesus living in us that clothes our naked souls.
I am not holy, you are not holy.
But we have a Holy God that is our covering and Holiness.

You left out holy moly
We had some guy come to our church once. He was at the front saying "Praise Mary, Praaaaaaise Mary!". My pastor told him "No, Praise Jesus!" and he does "Praise Jesus. Hooooooooly Moooooooleeeeee"

The issue of this whole thread is rediculous because I do not think you can cookie cutter any of the categories to this extent...I know trinitarian charismatics that would be libs because they do not adhere to the dress, adornment, and make-up rules...but they DO NOT go to movies, own a DVD player, nor do they have a TV.....so where would they fit in the definitions?...con/lib....absurd...
