1. Because It 5:30 AM on a Saturday morning.
2. Because this is a discussion forum - and so you should discuss the topic instead of immediately discount it as you are doing
3. Because as you noted - your experience could be different than mine

Thus, stepping into 1 isn't possible at this very moment and even if I could it simply cannot answer my question as sufficiently as asking for community input of individuals from various apostolic churches.
When your first line of defense is asinine rubbish, it becomes clear that the person posing the inquiry isn't fully interested in actually getting a proper answer. Case in point:

No inquiry about anything laudable or noteworthy, of doctrine, testimonials, salvational experiences, healings or miracles, just questions about controversial behaviors the OP clearly holds in contempt.

1. Have those things changed?
2. I don't hold the Pentecostal expression of worship in contempt. I do view it as peculiar and not something I'm sure I want to participate in, but despite that it does hold a special place in my heart. It is something that in some ways I miss.
3. Your gift is obviously not discernment - so maybe you shouldn't be jumping to conclusions about others motives?

How have things changed since then?
The bathrooms have been painted a different color since then.

"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."
