Here's some more food for thought. If we can't dye our hair because it is "changing" something natural God gave us then why are we allowed to wear deoderant to change the smell God gave us? Are we questioning God?

Im behind you on this of course I just gave up on the inconsistencys and thru all of them out the door now I can center all my attention on God. I even got rid of my suits. Years ago I grew a beard when I went to a district function one of the other ministers came up to me and ask what that was on my face. I look him in the eye and said I had been praying and ask God what these black things were that grew out my face every day. And while I was at it I ask why I had to get up every morn. and put some store bought stuff on my face and then take a scraper to my face so I decided to stop torturing myself and a beard is what I got. Needless to say he did not laugh I still grow abeard or goatee every year am I going to hell?

Also, Druids are said to have used human knuckles as dice. You don't want to be like the Druids, do you? Next, you be letting your kids go out on Halloween to collect candy and worshiping Satan. What's next, Christmas trees? (Jeremiah 10:1-5).

Re: Old Time Pentecostal Holiness Standards

We were Pentecostal and were always allowed to play dice games. Yahtzee was my favorite! But our Baptist friends in Wyoming couldn't use dice; they had to get spinners for their games. I never understood the difference.

Where are the photos of Ethel Goss with short hair and pearls (that we've heard about). Anyone have a copy of the photo? Was it in her book Winds of God?

I do agree that there was and is a lot of inconsistencies in the conservative ranks of Pentecost.

One I personally always laughed at was the white shirt vs "colored" shirt on men issue! The cons would say "No colored shirts"! The question begged to be asked, "When did white quit being a color?" That is just my pet peeve!

White, nor black, is a color. They are the result of the absence of color. LOL!
