    Everything.
    That would explain all of the strange looks I was getting today. My pappy always told me it's best to conduct business in person, so maybe I'll take his advice from now on.

    Welcome to the Internet my dear brother. I am glad you finally figured out how to switch on your computer. One tip though; if you are not using the computer, switch it off. Those things eat electricity like a negro eats chicken. It cost me a fortune before I figured that out.

    On a slightly related note, when can I expect back my shovel? I shot a lot of witches and I need to bury the remains.

    You got that right, Brother Faith Machine! Mouth, lips, throat, the whole works! I still don't have a gag reflex!

    We are all just so delighted to finally have you on the computer, brother Periwinkle! We knew you'd take to it like a negress to dishwashing. You'll have to excuse Brother Faith Machine. That California sun must be getting the better of him!

    On the topic of faith, I was on a camping trip with the boys last month and I accidentally swallowed a hornet. My tongue swole up and made my mouth real tight, and by golly we just had a delightful time with that for the rest of the night! For the record, I lived! Oh boy did I live!

    I'm hoping you enjoy your time here and continue to join us in fellowship on God's Favorite Forums™!

    OK, but if I hear anything about you speaking in tongues, I'm calling a pastor and letting him know.

    Penny-Costers are obsessed with snakes. They worship them and talk with them, negotiating with them the way a woman did in Eden. Their cult is nothing but fantasy and delusion, which is why they die so often. Have you ever seen a penny-coster snake dancer with all of his fingers? Of course not.

    As a child here in Freehold, there were so many snakes, the boys were sent out to catch them and kill them. As you may have heard, many boys died from the summer of 1939 to 1955 in the swampy areas to the east and the woods to the northwest of the property. During those years, parents learned from the Landover Faith Sciences Institute that the reason their boys died in the fields was due to a faith deficiency, possibly caused by outside influence. As a youngster, I was focused on pleasing God, as all True Christian™ children are. The snakes did God's work in weeding out those boys who were not cut out for God's work. God ALWAYS has a plan.

    I'm obviously not the only survivor from that time. The other boys who lived through that are a purer True Christian™ bloodline than ever before by God's little slithering tests of faith. Now as a personal reminder to me that God protects those of faith, I seek out the few remaining snakes around Freehold and put them to God's use, reminding the True Christians™ abroad (like yourself) what the word FAITH means to us all. Praise God!

    Friend, I see that you are a True Christian™, but I have never heard of a Baptist handling snakes before. You haven't been watching Pentecostal preachers on TV or something, have you?

    Hello, This Is My First Computer

    To Whom It May Concern,

    I have used a typewriter to compose correspondence ever since I can remember. Several folks insisted I fellowship here online, so they got me a computer and a JesOS Net account. I am very grateful.

    Most of you see me every Sunday, Wednesday, Monday afternoon, and every second Thursday night as your faithful usher for Pastor Ezekiel's wonderful services and other lesser worship programs. As a snake toucher, I think I've touched every Landover boy's snake more than once. I also enjoy tasting their poison when the opportunity strikes.

    As a boy, growing up in Freehold was a blessing. There are so many snakes here, it's hard to chase them all down, so I've developed a technique to bring them to me. You may have heard me out late at night whistling into the wind near the brushes. When you hear the call, join me and I will show you how snake touching is done.



    As a boy, I was never sick for I have been blessed to have known Jesus my whole life. And to those who would choose to be sick, I share my favorite verse-

    James 5:15 “Is any sicke among you? let him call for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray ouer him, anointing him with oyle in the Name of the Lord:”

    Yours In Christ,
    Brother Herman T. Periwinkle
