Reading your posts on this threads makes me think you might be the sort of person who looks to the pastor to tell them what car to buy, what house to buy, etc, etc.
Jedi may very well be making a big mistake moving. I wouldn't do it without a job secured but then he did say he has free rent for awhile so that does give him some breathing room. However as the person responsible for his families well being he has the right to pursue a better life in another area. If I were him I would have discussed it with my pastor as a courtesy but I would not have felt it was my pastors decision to make.

"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."
