Actually, I just tossed that in there like a grenade and ran to see what kind of a response it would get.
I do not actually believe that.
Why would you do that though when it is such an offensive statement? It is hard to read minds when reading posts and I cringed when I read it because it is the kind of uncouth judgmental statement I detest from some conservatives. Do not want to see it coming from a mod or lib. Two wrongs never make a right. All you did is give people ammunition to criticize mods and libs as being ugly and intolerant.

"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
I sure haven't tried to read all these posts,
but a couple of things happen when the Cons leave or stop posting:
The IQ level goes up
The hate level goes down
Oh Brother Ellis there you go showing the love and sweetness of the Charismatic movement.
