Sis Alvear, you are a blessing to this forum!
As far as "old ways holiness standards", it seems that in every generation you will have some maintainers of the previous generation's standards, and mostly others that will redefine the standards (because of technology and culture changes) for their generation.
The problem comes when after a generation redefines the standards, they think it is perfect and the end all of end alls. They don't give the future generations any leeway to make adjustments.
So..the following generations either become maintainers, or become rebellious and redefine the standards again for their generation. And on and on it goes!
