Hymns verses New Songs

I don't think so. They are actually a Pentecostal group

Gothard was not pentecostal but a lot of classic pentecostals and charismatics followed his teachings.

skirts only for women, no makeup, no jewelry, no Bible translations except King James, no television or movies, and so on. Also, they believe that interracial relationships are wrong and that puppet ministries are anti-Christian. They even think the Internet is evil (so don't expect to find a Website).

Yeah - that is part and parcel of early 20th century Wesleyan Holiness teaching.

I haven't seen (so far) that this group has ever spoken of Gothard, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that they don't follow his teachings, especially if these are common characteristics among these type of church organizations.

Interesting stuff. I might have to casually study on that sometime.

Anyway, I don't want to get too far off topic (even though this does loosely tie in with it since worship music issues are involved), so.... carry on, I guess.

Basically put: Anything that's remotely enjoyable in any way, shape, or form (regardless of how clean and innocent it might be) is a "sin"!

Yeah. WC Fields once quipped (IMO in a slam at that doctrine) "... everything I like to do is either illegal, immoral, or fattening.) 1934 movie "Six of a Kind."
