    Hey, LDH if "Eunich = YUNCH and Vulva = Volvo" have I committed fornication (or as one brother used to pronounce it - "fornification")if I touched a sister's volvo?? God, I remember actually being IN a sister's volvo out in service - THAT would surely be a serious sin!!

    And if I yunched in someone's volvo, that could also be a problem - unless I told them I was a eunuch! Though I suppose even a eunuch could yunch on a vulva. Oh...I've got to stop this!!!

    We had one elder that always said, or-gig-ni-zation instead of organization.

    Almost everyone in one congregation that I went to called it the Mosiac (mo-zee-ac) Law instead of Mosaic Law. Cracked me up!

    I waxed hot with wrath at the many Ministry School Overseers who would counsel us all on our "pronounciation."
