This is very revealing.  The fact that you are becoming "righteously
indignant" over this issue reveals to me that you do indeed have the
kind of holiness so many on this list are arguing about.  I applaud
this kind of love for God and desire to live righteously for him.
Instead of always looking for legalistic loopholes, you are sold out!
Thank you Jesus for saints with the Holy Ghost fire that Sis. Suzette
has!  

Sis. Suzette, I wish you went to the same church I go to; you remind
me of my wife in this comitment to God.
