You mean like accepting the United Pentecostal Church International and its members for who they are?


Like that? Or do all of the roads in Kwssville run one direction only?

Re: Platform Standards

Accepting everyone no matter what they look like if a lady has cancer going through chemo and has no or little hair but wants to play on the platform and has a music talent then let her. According to these platform standards she could not unless she had a wig on and she might not be able to afford a wig

Actually, this rule brings back some memories that I'd rather forget.

As a new convert with short hair, I put up with alot of junk for quite some time while waiting for it to grow out.

Speak for yourself. Platform standards do affect a lot of us. Even though these are General Conference specific, they're still worthy of discussion.

I don't particularly mind rules, although some of the motivation behind platform standards is bothersome.

Rule #7 on the provided list illustrates one of those bothersome points.
