Bible study time!<BR/><BR/>College philosophy courses and a liberal education are not smiled favorably upon by the Pentecostal crowd, but they work wonders to unleash the mind from tethers imposed from birth. <BR/><BR/>Keep doing your good work!juxtapostlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551817932416513389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932793590625129702.post-69028881691181263062008-09-04T10:30:00.000-07:002008-09-04T10:30:00.000-07:00When we we young my brother and I went with our ho...When we we young my brother and I went with our housekeeper to church one night. Yep, you guessed it, it was pentecostal. <BR/><BR/> All seemed well until, a woman jumped up and started screaming sounds. We thought it was Spanish. Then the roof came off! People were jumping around, hitting the floor, shaking, rolling,screaming in what I was sure was extreme pain and discomfort.<BR/><BR/> We were afraid. Very afraid. We jumped up and bolted out the door. I was crying. When we got outside, we were smack in the middle of downtown Orlando. Two very young, (can't Remember...must be getting old), boys alone in the big city. So naturally we took refuse in a near by Dunkin' Dounuts. Where we called Mom and told her tearfully, where we were and we we not going back into that church and get our housekeeper,no way , no how, and even the threat of switch could not convince us. She had to come and get us, we were not leaving the dough nut shop.<BR/><BR/> I'll never forget the wailing I got, for leaving our housekeepers supervision. Raising 6 kids on her own meant she could not afford to be light-handed.<BR/> <BR/>My brother, 2.5 yrs older, is a pentecostal turned jehovahs witness. I have no religious afflictions that I currently suffer from. I am a recovering christian, on my 12th step and helping others in need to shed their addiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932793590625129702.post-61685173189395352632008-09-03T13:14:00.000-07:002008-09-03T13:14:00.000-07:00Thanks Debra,It is especially terrifying at the te...Thanks Debra,<BR/><BR/>It is especially terrifying at the tender age of 3, when your riding home from church one night, and look out the window to see a dark orange moon. <BR/><BR/>You close your eyes in complete and silent terror, and you wait for the blast of a trumpet and the violence of a night sky ripped open by a fearsome and wrathful God. And wait... wait... <BR/><BR/>Yes, me at 3. Kids live in a massive little world that their parents barely comprehend.juxtapostlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551817932416513389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932793590625129702.post-4405441248678149502008-09-03T12:18:00.000-07:002008-09-03T12:18:00.000-07:00This is terrifying.
