Talk:Charles Fox Parham

message: I took these comments out:
"For these comments, Parham has been deemed a racist." and "Another widespread belief relating to Parham's racial attitudes is that he was a Klansman."
These comments are reflective of a tactic known as weasaling. The use of the words in a seemingly neutral fashion only to pre-emptively prop up a POV stance. In this instance the stance is decidedly against the data that suggests that Parham was a racist. The facts alone (which are left in the article) are sufficient to speak for themselves, and do not need preliminary " say it ain't so" commentary. --Zaphnathpaaneah 12:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I added the Tone Cleanup tag to the "Allegations of Racism" section.
Someone needs to take the initiative and clean up this article. It is too complicated, and the "Controversy" section in particular is long, complicated, contradictory at points, and difficult for someone who is unfamiliar with this topic to understand. I don't have the knowledge to rewrite this article, but someone who does know something about it needs to rewrite it. Also, the "Controversy" section needs to be rewritten from an unbiased point of view, giving both sides of the story but not endorsing either side. The readers of the article don't need to know every bit of evidence for and against either side, they just need to know that there are two sides to the story, and they need to know the basic premise of each side's argument. Right now, it is very clear that people on both sides of the argument have been editing and re-editing this section until it is basically a jumble of nonsense.

message: Beyond any doubt, the racist, gay and pastor Charles Fox Parham was the real founder of pentecostalism.
In countries such as Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, [[pentecostalism] is the second biggest religion.Agre22 (talk) 18:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: The real founder of pentecostalism

message: The assertion that "Parham at first admitted his actions, but then denied them.Vinson Synan. The Holiness–Pentecostal Tradition: Charismatic Movements in the Twentieth Century. Grand Rapids, Michigan: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997, p. 106 n." is disputable, as the reference makes absolutely no mention of this. The only reference made to this incident in Synan's book is: One possible reason why Seymour rejected his authority was the rumour that Parham was a practicing homosexual, a charge often made and repeatedly denied by Parham (footnote #43)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iskuo (talk • contribs) 11:57, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
