Well, I ain't a moderator - let all breath a sigh of relief - I just
another stick stirring up the flames.  So, yet one more time I'll take a
stab at this.

1) telling me how to live isn't stepping over the bounds; _UNLESS_ the
person can't show Bible for what he teaches as being biblically wrong.

2) the term standard(s) of holiness is no more bilical than trinity. 
Holiness isn't a dress/action code; it is a condition of the soul.

3) if you want to teach something as a _personal_ preferance, there is a
much higher chance of "blind" obediance.
