I found your post #483 to be interesting...I would add one thing....along with those strict lifestyle rules that you spoke of...no drinking, no smoking, no dancing, I would add 'no playing cards'....I was preached to in church with those 4 no-nos...
As a kid I always silently wondered if playing 'Old Maid', and 'Go Fish' qualified as sinful card playing...and if I was going to hell because of my sinful card playing ways...
Did they try to stone you?
