"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."

So, are you actually trying to claim that you were NOT being condescending?

I was trying to use a little humor but apparently missed. I suppose I need to better my understanding of the language of emoticons. Do you wish for me to be condescending? I am sure I can manage something if that is what you wish.

LOL! Yes, I'm sure you could. And yes, the humor was lost. Although, I don't think you are being honest that you were using humor.

I have been doing an extensive study on Paul and his scriptural references in Romans and Hebrews to the Septuagint. Your post made me think there were more important things going on.

But, mainly, that aside from the standards debate, the UPCI preaches the Gospel message that the Apostles preached. So, you might be in a bit of trouble standing before God someday "persecuting" a group of people on God's side - regardless of being bitter over the standards you don't agree with.

People in every religious faith are on a journey. I started out as a Catholic. Where will I be in 10 or 20 years? Who knows, but aside from reasonable scriptural dialogue, I'm not going to "persecute" any group preaching the Gospel.

That's how I feel about it, anyway.

Welcome to my world! I have a dry sense of humor that is often misunderstood.
