Will someone explain pentecostalism to me?
I dont understand some of the rules they place on women and the often old fashioned view on church attire.
i was raise pentecostal my entire life and over time became aware of its views on reality/women. No makeup or jewelry, no pants, no dancing, constant reminders that God made man to rule over women.
Instead of talking about women and men working together, the failing of the family is due to men not being head of houshold. A womand only salvation in life is to find God and a good husband, no female pastors allowed in church or as official leaders. I remember I missed out on prom, senior cruise, HS dances, going out with friends. No movies either.
All the things ppl take for granted I obsess over. I never got my ears pierced and I feel sexualy dysfunctional. There so many other things.
There is emphasis on the afterlife before this life. Whats the point of a religion that refuses to acknowledge half the world population & life?
