This isn't fun.

Be saved by repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost. Be holy by obeying the Ten Commandments.

Don't miss church. Ever!

DO pay your tithes (based on 10% of your gross paycheck).

DO pay offerings (which was taught to be 5% of your gross). Anything above THAT is true giving.

DO "obey them that have the rule (or ruler?) over you" in ALL things.

Don't go on a date unchaperoned.

Don't kiss your wife until she IS your wife.

Don't even think of asking her to be your wife until you get your pastors permission.

Some people took it so far as to not frequent any restaurants that serve beer.

Yuck!!! That would limit your choices pretty much to only fast food restaurants:groan.

.....and buffets. Why do you think they are so popular with church folk? OK, the real reason they are popular is because the never ending smorgasbord of blandness they offer but still, I can't recall any that serve alcohol other than perhaps a few oriental ones I've been to.

All of the above plus.

No open toe shoes.
No clear fingernail polish.
Nothing in the hair that is not the same color as the hair.
Hair up for all married women except at home and if there are no non-family males in the house.
Long sleeves only for men.
Any male on platform or picking up offering must wear a suit.
Women must have ankle length skirts on platform.
No swimming with anyone but family
No waterparks/beaches but the lake is OK... (pastor is a freshwater fisherman) ;)
No hugging non family members of the opposite sex. Every time we visit extended Bapist family this gets me in trouble- I stick my hand out from habbit... They beleive Christians hug everybody.

Must have pastors permission to accept a job offer out of town, move to anywhere to far to drive to his church, go on vacation, buy a house, new car or other large purchases.

Of course to not seek permission is disobedience, which is the same sin as witchcraft, which is how you will be lost, you witch you.

no beach
no pool
no mixed bathing

no visiting other churches of same persuasion (other oneness churches) without letting the Pastor know

no dating unless in a group (probably a good rule for teenagers actually)

no riding in the car with anyone from the opposite sex that you are not a relative of (probably not a bad idea)

can not touch opposite sex at all, unless married, can only shake their hands

must wear pantyhose (females)

must address anyone in a leadership position by last name, IE, Bro Smith, Sister Smith, ect.

women stay in kitchen and talk, wait on men who are in living room

going to the doctor is seen as a lack of faith, though not prohibited,
women encouraged to have babies at home

must win one soul a year or your salvation is in jeopardy

Don't celebrate Christmas with a tree in the house.

Don't use anyone's name without using "Brother" or "Sister".

Don't describe getting together with friends as "getting together". You MUST call it "fellow shipping".

Don't truly celebrate someone getting saved until they complete all three steps AND all of the things on the above lists.
