HILARIOUS! My mother attended a Christian School Convention once as a teacher, and wore open-toed shoes along with several other teachers. They were all resoundingly shamed and rebuked!

This is so fascinating! I remember WMB mentioning Davis over and over with affection and respect. Did WMB ever stop doing that? I remember in another video you said Davis was like an albatross around WMB's neck. But it seemed like he was always mentioning him, of course lying, saying he was a Baptist minister. So strange that he would ever mention being associated with this criminal.
