Oh, no! We talk in tongues and recieve the Holy Ghost and are baptized in Jesus name and are Oneness AND we are Amish. That way, we are holier than ANYBODY, fer sure!

Then you would not be considered Old Order, nor Apostolic Amish, both believe in a cessation of gifts. So, you must be a loner Emma. Do you have a husband Emma? Does he have his patriarchal beard?

Oh my dear Margie3..It was way past my bed time when I made that typographicla error.

Or could it from the heart, the fingers typeth.


I will agree that Pabst is vile beer. I have a sinner nephew that tells me that a Miller is the beer that satisfies.


Of course I would not know of these things as the good book commands that vile alcoholic beverages never croos our tongues.
