The rules said NOTHING about DANCING or Greco-Roman wrestling; ya furball!

I thought that the proscription on dancing was Baptist. Now, Greco-Roman wrestling, that's a state religion in Iowa.

(12) Use of Leisure Time. The Wesleyan Church believes that its

members should exercise responsible stewardship of their leisure time.

This will include careful regulation of the use in the home of mass media,

such as current literature, radio and television, guarding the home against

the encroachment of evil (cf. 265:6). It will also involve witnessing against

social evils by appropriate forms of influence, the refusal to participate in

social dancing, the refusal to patronize the motion picture theater

(cinema), together with other commercial ventures as they feature the

cheap, the violent or the sensual and pornographic, and the refusal to

engage in playing games which tend to be addictive or conducive to

gambling (cf. 265:4).<


...a state religion in Iowa.

And in my family in Indiana.
