A Mina, a mina, a shekel, and half shekels.

I always got the giggles during meeting, and even with the other brothers and sisters leering at me, I couldn't stop, it just made it worse the more I tried to stop. Always got in big trouble when we got home cuz I would get my 5 siblings going too

I still refer to being fortunate about something instead of lucky....as much as I hate doing it. And always look around after I say "bless you" when someone sneezes.

The teacher in 4th grade wispering to another teacher .... "That lil boy is a communist becuse he does not salute the flag...." I was not even old enough to know what a communist was and had to go and look it up lol... Although I do appreciate the person it made me - I will probably never salute or pledge to any world run organization!

The plastic hypocritical smiles and the pretentious shallow words brother or sister.
The elders, mature family men, who degradingly called for slavish obedience to the FDS when they should have known that they were a bunch of lying crooks and con artists. -

"handwriting on the wall" - the Judgment upon Belshazzar
"Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation."
"O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty; and because of the greatness that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down. But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him; he was driven from among men, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men, and sets over it whom he will."
"And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of His house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored. Then from His presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.
"And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN."
"This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
"Then Belshazzar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"That very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain. And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old."
(Daniel 5:1-31 RSV)
