I've went to Pentecostal churches, 66 years. And I have never caused any trouble or problems in any that I went to. I believe that, you, “obey them that have the rule over you,” Why are these women, dissatisfied with their churches? I can't speak for all of them, but most Pentecostal ladies today, study and pray at home, and God reveals things to them. I don't believe that they want to chuck everything and live like the world.

How women are to love their children, and not scream and holler at them and put them down. But to teach them, true holiness of the spirit. How people are to approach the world, in love and not try to win them by being like them. ENOUGH?

You are right, Sis. Renee. The bulk of the "holiness message" is attached to women's attire, when in reality, it needs to be balanced with proper authority in the home, which is God-Christ-husband-wife-family, and attention to
principles of holiness, instead of
application.
HEART TEACHING is what Jesus concentrated on, which eliminates the Pharisaical elitist attitude, and brings us all into humility, men, and women... and true heart holiness that can only be attained by following the commandments of Jesus, which are to love HIM and love one another... commandments not easily lived out.
It is far more easy to live an outward standard than to seek heart purity and perfection. The easier path has been chosen by the OP, but the fallout is destructive.
That is why there must be an acknowledgement that teaching of standards as "salvational" must be done away with. Teaching heart purity, teaching proper authority in the home, teaching us to love one another, will result in far more amazing results than any clothesline teaching ever will.
