We won't even do cakewalks (where you have to pay) or raffles or anything like that, because literally those are gambling and we try to stay away from any form of it. Maybe that's legalistic in a sense, but I think you have to draw a line somewhere.

Woo hoo!!! Did I finally make the legalism list?????

Borrow Vicki's hairpiece, honey!!! They'll never know the difference. You might even have a hand in praying through someone. Hehehehehe!

On a serious note, I love going to meetings of this nature and asking the Lord to direct me to someone that needs prayer. It's so awesome for the person in need. It is "their time alone with God" while hundreds of people are around.

Altar work is so needful and we have to be so careful to follow the leading of the Lord!

Go and be blessed!!!! Shockamoo, but hold on to that hairpiece! You'll be like the Emperor without his clothes!!!!!!

NOT a good idea. Deceptions are always found out eventually.

If you can't go as your genuine self, don't go.

Your call, of course.
