[at-l] Re: Southern Speak OT

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Actually I've heard it pronounced as Pair-ra-saul (as Saul in the Bible)

We Southerners love our bibles.  I've know people who could barely read and
write who had memorized whole passages out of the KJ version of the Bible.

One classic example was a Pre-chair who always quoted the Bible and you
could follow along in your Bible.  Word for word it matched.  Then someone
caught him when he kept quoting a very long passage, thumping his Bible,
etc.  And he kept his Bible open to that one place.  When he gave the
invitation, he kept the Bible in his hand.  Someone saw that he not only had
it open to the wrong book, but he had it upside down.  Apparently he had
never learned to read and write.  But he had memorized the WHOLE Bible by
listening to others.

If you don't know what the invitation is, then you ain't never lived in the
South and gone to church.

By the way, I'm trying to remember the name of an elderly preacher who use
to have an open air church near the AT.  Anybody out there know of him?
