No snakes, and no weird outfits or anything. But they held to a lot of Old Testament stuff, like the Sabbath being on Saturday (and anyone who said differently was d*mned), no eating pork, minister had to approve of marriages, no makeup for women, no musical instruments except for tambourines (iow nothing that the Bible didn't expressly mention), men and women sit separately during worship, "shunning" practiced against people who don't conform--this happened to my S-in-L since she married outside the "faith" even though my bro. is a Christian, etc.
