Pentecostals Don't Drink The Water in Memphis!
Apparently there is something in the water in Memphis, TN affecting Pentecostals.
Right on the heels of the current scandal involving a well known Pentecostal pastor in that town (see other thread) comes word that a prominent member of another Memphis Pentecostal church (this one not UPC because the UPC is too liberal) was arrested on Halloween for laundering around $3 million dollars of drug money through a car dealership or two he owns.
I know someone who personally knows this person and they are totally shocked and hoping that somehow the money laundering was the deed of two employees who were arrested along with him and that he is innocent.
The arrested man is very conservative and is very involved with this ultra con church so this is quite a shock to everybody that knows him.
You can google "car dealership drug laundering arrest Memphis TN" for news stories of the arrest but nothing really about the connection to the church other than one TV station news report where friends insist he must be innocent because they have known him for years to be an upstanding Christian man.
Bottom line is if you are Pentecostal and live in Memphis, TN do not drink the water!!!!

"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
