She said, Do you know why we are here? A little Pentecostal girl passes our house every day going to school with her long hair, long dress, no makeup. Conviction got me, and I want to be like that girl.

I know TW Barnes he was great friend of my dad's. See my mom's brother was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Minden, LA.
The same town TW Barnes pastored for many years.
Everybody who was Baptist went to the one church.
It ran near 2000-3000 members.
He pastored from 1963-1989.
It was the church that Lyndon Johnson's grandfather founded.
My uncle was former AOG.
His wife's father and brother were officials in the AOG for many years.
He then moved over to the southern baptist organization.
I know he spoke in tounges and he told me in 2000 just a few years before his death.
That he had been baptized first in the titles and then after his retirement JN.
I am not sure what time period TW Barnes is referring to...
My auntie always cut her hair...
Both Dr Prince and TW Barnes were friends and did many funerals and weddngs together since families had folks in both churches...
My dad would preach for TW Barnes and then go over to have lunch at Dr Prince's home....
