The retention rate of Apostolic kids that I grew up with has been horrific! I can't imagine any other church organization being worse!

My generation is the same. Of the kids I grew up with in the church only 2 out of 6 are still in the church. However, the last two generations are still at 80 to 90 % still in the church, so I see it getting better.
I don't bother to compare to the "mega" churches. They have a lot of "eye candy" that is irrelevant to salvation. Most around here advertise foyers complete with coffee shops, pastries, etc. all for sale. (seems I remember Jesus having a coniption about that one time)
It's like grandpa taught me, I can take a handful of hay that wont feed two cows and lead a 50 head herd anywhere I want them to go.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
