Now I'm not painting everyone with a broad brush, I know there are good people out there who don't necessarily "keep the standards", all I'm saying is that's a dangereous road. Many would have been much better off having never known, than to know and turn away.

My experience over years of ministry is that the divorce rate, rates of infidelity, homosexuality, child molestation and criminal activity is as high or higher among professed "Apostolics" and "conservative holiness" types than it is among "baptist, methodist,etc."
I was personally fired from my position in an "Apostolic church" as part of a plan to cover up the fact that a visiting evangelist was involved in adultery.
The man they hired to replace me with is currently sitting in a Texas state prison cell for crimes unrelated to any of that.
Tell me again about your "holiness" code. If you doubt my story - take it over to JP or CAF for verification.
