I can't stand screamers with the PA cranked up. I will get up and walk out of one of those places because the only think I am going to get out of the service is a headache.
I have a wide range of tolerance for bad sound but the 200 decibal sound blast is beyond that.
I will never forget about 25 years ago taking some UPC relatives to visit the home missions church just started in the town I lived in by a semi famous screaming UPC preacher. He had a small space in a strip mall with about 40 folding chairs set up. He also had a PA system with huge speakers for those 40 chairs he was no more than 10 feet from.
When he started screaming.....er....preaching I thought the skin was going to peel back from my face. Within five minutes my head was pounding but I was too polite to leave since I was one of about 20 people there.

"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."
