When you are ostracized by your previous religous associates you tend to broaden your horizons.
When JS messed up the first time it was not long afterwards he started being open to fellowship with Oneness preachers. I know one he had some contact with and who almost did some event with him in a Spirit of fellowship and restoration but after prayer did not feel to go ahead with it. Shortly thereafter JS was caught the second time, this time in CA in a rental car with porn mags and dressed similarly to when he was caught the first time in Baton Rouge.
I found it extemely ironic that JS had made such a big deal over Jim Bakker not following the AOG plan for restoration and then when he himself got caught he didn't either.

"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."
