Well what a "spiritual heritage" we all have ;)

OK, I am the one who called the Holocaust survivor an old goat. No disrespect intended. I though he was some bethel heavy. I repent in sackcloth and ashes

Hey Flipper, I too was raised by an elder father. It was not a picnic. My father used to take out his frustration in the congregation on the family.I was a very unhappy person.
