Another HMH Miracle: Did I do this?

[freeatlast]

Speaking of "rats" reminded me of when I first started going to church. In Pensacola Fl in 1970.

The pastor called a sister out one night, had her come to the front of the church up front of the pulpit.

He told her he had gained knowledge that she was putting something in her hair and commanded her to take her hair down and remove the damnable thing.

With so much fear of pastoral athority, she complied.

The pastors son, told me later when they all got home after church, Momma let Daddy know that she too had something in her hair as did his daughters and most the other women in the church.

That was just so sad to experience....even worse, after the pastors public humiliation of this sister, there was no public apology.
