I have always been particularly sensitive to people who would get on AFF / NFCF and try to minimize it by saying it was only entertainment, etc.
It was AFF / NFCF that helped me retain my sanity during my sons two tours of duty as a United State Marine in the Al Anbar province of Iraq.
The friends I made on here who held my son and myself and my wife up in prayer and gave us encouragement was priceless beyond words.

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."
