Lol, I remember hearing FO preach in Louisana at Bogalusa Bible Conference back in the 80s, and he said, "The only rings that you should find in church are in the sound system - and not even then if you have a good sound man!"
Thats funny... WH posted that his wife said, if there is something to do that she can't do in a dress, she doesn't need to do it...

I was talking to a friend of mine who is a UPC pastor's wife last week. They live here in Ohio. I asked whether there has been any fall-out in this area because of TV thing at Conference.
She told me that the fall-out is a southern thing, a texas thing and a california thing. She said that here in the Northwest and most of the Midwest, people don't see it as the same kind of huge issue as other areas of the country do. (she thinks it's ridiculous. Her words, not mine )
Anyhow, I'm wondering how accurate she is? Does anyone know?

At one of our Minister's Conferences a few years ago, a young preacher had been asked to take over a charismatic church in our state. He did, and began preaching "holiness" to them. He gave an exciting report that went something like this, "I have been successful in getting the women to stop wearing makeup and take off their jewelry......now I'm just working on getting their pants off of them!"
Needless to say, the place went wild.........

I can't speak for all of Canada... there are some folks in Ontario who would be quite opposed to it.. not sure if it's enough to separate...
But here in Atlantic Canada it's pretty quiet. I think some see both sides of the coin but no one is willing to break fellowship over it.
For which I am thankful.. there are so many other more important things than how we advertise.
