I refuse to be intimidated
 
I refuse to be intimidated by some cigarette smoking charismatic. I will stand for truth. The reason that some of you have penguins in the pews and Eskimos in the choir is because you have a polar bear in the pulpit. Many are cold and few are frozen. I'm here to breathe some red hot fire into the lukewarm atmosphere. WAKE UP! Preach holiness and doctrine like never before. The outward standards define the church. Eli allowed his sons to compromise and commit their sin while he just stood by and watched. Let me tell you something...turn up your hearing aide now...HOLINESS PREACHING IS RIGHT.

We still believe in long sleeves
We still believe the women shouldn't cut their hair
We still believe the men should keep their short, off the ears and off the collar. Sideburns to the middle of the ear.
We still believe that slits are wrong
We still believe the wearing of gold is a sin
We still believe shorts and beards are a sin
We still believe rings are sin period. No wedding rings either.
We still believe Hollywood is wrong
Get rid of your television
Throw out those shoes with the gold plate
Pluck off those gold buttons
Paint that gold belt buckle black or get rid of it
Stop wearing make up
Quit using colored lip gloss
It's a sin for a woman to put on a pair of pants
Women, don't pluck your eyebrows. Who are you trying to impress?
Wear hose to church women
Men, stop wearing those gold watches
Don't waste money on expensive automobiles
Men don't wear silk, even at night
Women, stop wearing fake eyelashes
Leave that Jezebel spirit outside and join the REAL church

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I can't smoke a cigarette but I can smoke a pipe? What about a cigar?

Hey there Brother or Sister Standards (whichever the case may be) stand up for the Truth!!!! Don't compromise. Stand up for the old landmarks. Remember that the Bible or Manual (whichever the case may be) says, "The Truth will stand when the world burns."

You forgot to mention:
novels, comics, any fiction whatsoever in printed, audio, or visual format
anything (vehicle or clothing article) colored red
caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, chocolate, medication of any sort
life or medical insurance
buttons and button holes on clothing
eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures
birth control
golf, hunting, fishing, or any sport
sleeves anywhere above the wrist
pant legs (men only) anywhere above the ankle
deodorant or scented soap
well combed, set, or styled hair for men or women
mirrors
high heel shoes
open toed shoes, flip flops, or sandals that expose feet and toes
hair pins, bobby pins, combs or anything that hold hair in place
canes, crutches, walkers, orthopedic shoes

@ Standards- Your standards will get you to Heaven viewpoint is as unbiblical as saying Paul wasnt married b/c he was gay! You can not back any of your points! You are potraying someone and somethings you do not believe for your own amusement! That is the same thing as lying! You should really get a job or a hobby that will not offend someone. You meaningless pointless ramblings have become boring to me however they could create a huge stumbling block for some sincere person reading them! Get a life and get a pastor!!

Do you think this is funny?

John Wesley said, "No one fights this holiness message harder than the ones that once embraced it.The mind is never so resourceful as when one is justifying oneself."

Are you quoting the Trinitarian, one stepping Wesley to make your point.

Do we have a little guy who rolls on the floor while laughing? I need him.

John Wesleys holiness had nothing to do with clothing! You are grasping........

He didn't have the whole truth, but I agree with this statement. You're fighting this message because you once embraced it.

How about this, my wife is hosting a kids show on XM right now and she just played an Alice Cooper song - Schools Out.

How is that for a standard?

Alice Cooper worships Satan.

I once embraced a porcupine.

Doesn't mean I would do it again.

Not so much my friend. I think he has been very clear about who he worships.

You've probably embraced a lot of other things that I'd rather not know about.

Has anyone mentioned no wimmin preachers, no wimmin shaving their legs? Wimmin keeping silent in the church?

Only white shirts and black pants on men, no ties. (Ties will send a man to hell just as fast as a necklace on wimmin.)

Women are not supposed to shave or trim any body part or area.

A necktie is a cloth necklace.

I don't believe in eyeglasses or false teeth either. They're just as bad as hair dye.... trying to reverse the aging process.
