Early traditions I am oriented with was prior to FTTA.
1) No celebration of any holidays except Chinese New Year.
2) No dating until you're ready for marriage. Proper term is courting. Although in my generation depending who you were, dating was permitted.
3) Going to movies discouraged, but not a rule.
4) When it came to area of study at a university, it was strongly encouraged to choose a field of study suitable for the churchlife.
5) Discouraged listening to Christian music. It's too wordly.
6) Encouraged inviting friends to Young Peoples meetings and Lovefeasts.
7. If you attend all the meetings, the churchlife will take care of your family life.
