I think all of my neighbors go to the Methodist church at the end of
our road. They aren't the nutcase variety, although at a restaurant
tonight, one nosy old broad (who I didn't even know) took us to task
(wife and son included) for not attending church often enough. I was
nice, you would have been proud...

Being civil is nice. i soulnd't have a done like the elderly lady,
but i probably would have at least invited you and your family ( Like
I do at my home congregation) to our annual Christmas dinner. Just
show up and eat and enjoy!

Probably 55% of this county is hard core, either Southern Baptist or
Primitive Baptist.

Not all, but some can be a pretty stiff bunch!


What I MEANT was that there are a lot of fundamentalist denominations
in this area, which I have already enumerated. I don't peer into my
neighbor's windows, I just know a lot about the denominations and
their rites. Why?

My father owned a stone company and I have been to every church and
synagogue in (it seems) NC/SC/VA/TN that had a cemetery. I learned a
lot from all of those folks. I also graduated from a Methodist
college. I didn't drop down from another planet, with no experience in
the matter.....

Cool!


It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are
enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.
