He is talking about a specific kind of prayer meeting for people to seek the baptism of the Holy Ghost
He is not talking about tarrying at a church service.

Re: Does your church still have "tarrying meetings
I've been to "tarrying services" where folks were seeking the Holy Ghost, most of the time it didn't work. Just wore everybody out.

Is there anything wrong with that? Isn't tarrying the same as seeking God?

Never anything "wrong" with seeking God.

No one "tarried for tongues" in the Bible.

That is true. We read no accounts in the book of Acts for the kind of actions that take place in many churches with those seeking the gift of tongues. The screaming, wailing, shaking, pushing, jumping, spitting, and all kinds of other stuff that go on in the name of "seeking the Holy Ghost" just is not found anywhere in Acts. People believed, and received.

How do you know the Samaritans didn't tarry in Acts 8?

Not the Samaritans. They believed but didn't receive.

Somewhat of a false dichotomy, but I'll go along. I have seen some of the name and claim stuff in OP, but nothing as extreme as that in the WOF movement. An instant society requires instant results.
I couldn't agree more. My theory is that this is the result of legalism. When all you need to do is please the pastor the bible really isn't necessary.
Yes. This implies that much of today's tongues are not real. That will get no disagreement from me. The rush to get people to speak in tongues is a result of the initial evidence doctrine.

Hou, I've learned that, when no one responds to your post, you may regard that as a "can't touch this."

It is written,
Prior to the ascension...
Luke 24:49
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. After the ascension...
Acts 1:12-14
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. After addressing the business of appointing Matthias and a period of waiting until Pentecost was fully come...
Acts 2:1-4
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. They tarried in Jerusalem waiting for the promise.
