Titus2woman on AFF
"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."

I agree!
Perhaps we shouldn't pay tithes from the stock market either. There is a chance you can lose your money there as well.

I know people who look at investing in the stock market as the same level as gambling. But you've got more money at stake with the stock market.

Very true, but also a greater chance of not losing ALL of it.

I wonder what that Pastor would do if the same member, now 6 million dollars richer (assuming taxes were already taken) were to buy a bus and donate it to the church?
