The part of your post I quoted above is one that would be a deal breaker for me when it comes to ever going back.
Of course all of the extra biblical legalism and preztel logic to justify it are also a big deal breaker!
It is gong to be very interesting to see how well German integrates back into that theological / cultural world. My prediction is an initial happiness maybe even euphoria at being back in the fellowship the closed culture provides. Will be interesting to see how long that lasts.

"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."
