Early vs Modern Local Church Traditions/Rule

[Truth]

The Local Church has a lot of traditions and rules. Most of the rules are unsaid (ie. you will not find them written anywhere, but are practiced). Here are my observations. I have only listed a few to get us started. Feel free to add more to this list. This is just for fun to see how much LRC has changed to adapt to the world and Christianity. We can also build another list of what hasn't changed. That would interesting too! I also understand some of this may or may not apply depending on what locality you are from.

Early Traditions/Rules
1) No celebration of any holidays (Christmas, New Year, Mother's Day, Independence Day, birthdays, etc...), no matter what
2) No dating until you finish the Full-time Training
3) No going to the movie theaters or any kind of art theater
4) Strongly encouraged and pressured to go to every church meeting of the week, including services, such as cleaning, children, etc...
5) Strongly encouraged and pressured to go to every conference and semi-annual training
6) No building a bridge with Christianity
7) No getting involved with media - too worldly

Modern (Today's) Traditions/Rules
1) You can celebrate with your family (especially if they are not in the church life). You are still not encouraged to celebrate among members, though today's younger generations do celebrate each other's birthdays.
2) Dating is allowed under proper fellowship and supervision; however lots of young people date without serving ones knowing.
3) From what I know, most young people go to the movies today, even though it is not encouraged (but neither is it strongly discouraged in the meeting as in the old days)
4) if you miss a meeting, not as much pressure as before. The older ones are discouraged to pressure the young people too much due to so many leaving the church life previously. Services are dead (not many volunteers), and prayer meetings have barely anyone in them
5) They no longer come after you with an ax if you don't sign up for training and conference, but they still emphasize.
6) lots of communication with certain Christian Organizations (ie. CRI's Hank Hanegraaff, Fuller Seminary) in order to be accepted by them, so to get to them write apologetics on LSM's behalf.
7) LSM is on the air (often prime time) and on the web (everywhere)
