I'd been in the AMF church about 6 months. I was maybe 19 or 20. been a Christian less than a year.

When I saw this happen one night.

Pastor calle a woman out. Demanded Sister Mary come down and stand in front of pulpit.

He chastised her for having some ornament in her hair.

He demanded she take her hair down right there, in front of everybody and remove the offending item.

She "obeyed them that had the rule over her" and did as she was told.

I heard from pastors son later, that when he got home, his wife and three daughters, told him that they too and many of the other sister's used them things called "rats" to fix their hair.

To my knowledge he never apologized for his ignorance.

You might be a Pentecostal...when you endure such abuse as this.

Sister Mary disappeard shortly after this incident. God Bless her for that.

3): You [or the ladies you know] can swim in a denim skirt and still

11): You could be an Olympic kickball player with all the practice
from church functions.

13): Your white choir moves like Kirk Franklin's group.
14): The pastor says, "With this thought I close," more than three
times each service.
15): You have adequate respect for the power of flying hairpins.
16): Your feet have been stomped on at least 3 times during a service.
17): A run in your last pair of stockings is a national disaster.
1: You judge a church service by swollen eyes, rumpled clothes, and
disheveled hair.
19): Your kids know how to eat any crunchy thing quietly and could sleep on a hard bench through a tornado.
20): When shopping for shirts, you always run it through the "Praise

25): You can always find hairpins on the floor after a good service.
26): You can pronounce, "Habakkuk".
27): Mondays and Thursdays are the hardest days to wake up in the

2: Your day of rest includes 2 church services, choir practice, and
Golden Corral.
29): The kids you know think shot glasses are for playing communion.
30): Growing up you baptize your cousins and siblings several times in
the swimming pool.
31): Your 2 year-old runs through Wal-Mart shouting, "Praise the Lord!
Eb shamma dabba yamma yabba dooba! *clap *clap* clap* Yes, Lord! Yes,
Lord! Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah!"
32): The only thing longer than your prayer list is the hair of the
ladies you know.
How about; You know your Pentecostal when you have to get out of someone's way before they mow you down during worship service. (Or did someone say this already?)

You know you're pentecostal if...
A singles conference is for she 12 and up.

A youth convention is for those who are 35 and younger, never married.

There are almost as many instruments at a home missions church as there are people.

You are surprised to learn that not everyone can keep a best or carry a tune.

Morning worship service lasts into the afternoon.

You'll drive 3-4 hours to a fellowship meeting that lasts 2-3, and enjoy every minute.

You could go to walmart after church for fellowship.

Your teen looking for his first job lists cleaning the church, running the sound system, and teaching Sunday school as his previous jobs, and uses his pastor as a reference.

Re: You know you're Pentecostal when...

Safety pins are a normal part of your attire.

You (or your wife) set off the security alarms at the airport by dressing normally.

If you are vacuuming your church you first have to look for hairpins.

You walk on the beach fully clothed, your wife's jean skirt is below her knees, and you still don't feel overdressed!
