I'm recording the series as well.  Just watched the one on spirit possession; chewing glass, snake handling, speaking in tongues.


Bet the snake handlers and speaking in tongues was filmed somewhere around where I live.

Up in the counties to the NW of me...it's frequently done even though the snake handling has been outlawed.
The authorities usually catch the snake handlers.... when they end up dead.  ::)
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

I think it may have been GA, but not sure. 

I was banking on it being in the Appalachians of KY where my people hail from.  There's so many of those isolated hollers with tiny churches and folk are so hush-mouthed that nobody would hear about it unless there was a death.

It's been a few years....but there was a one of those little churches up in the hills north of me. The pastor's wife was a snake-handler and ended up dead. They had several children. Apparently losing his wife, didn't wave any flags of danger for the pastor....he was killed a year or so later.....handling snakes at a chuch service. The kids were still fairly young.

HELP--- what was the movie about men that built the perfect wife.     Some how his wife was taken away and he had to go through all kinds of trials to get her back.

Some where he met a  really human woman, a scatter brained human female that  was to confuse him, a woman with free will.

Lots of fun here, the human woman drove him nuts, unpredictable.  He after all the work he did found his wife.  She was the work and idea of his fantasy's

He rescured her, but found that the crazy woman he was with was worth jettisoned her over board from a plane.     Actually I think he was ok with both of them.

Taboo today is eating pork, touching a dog or snake.   Taboo is killing a family member or having sex with your sister.   

What else is taboo that he Liberals have not made normal life style.  Soon everything goes------If it is a human reaction, no problem.    Nothing will be said about the victims, they just were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Darn Ladys, one never  leaves                                                                                                         their home in a time of                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  fear for their childrens health                                                                     to get medicine for a sick child without taking time to to first put their paintie hoes on.
