[Ivy]

"member of the church"

"not a christian" (i.e. Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, etc)

"a widow indeed" (who remembers that one?)

"the brotherhood"

[Ivy]

"the very appearance of evil" (anything they didn't think you should do)

[FinallyFree]

[williamray123]

"going forward" or he "went forward". You knew exactly what it meant but it sounds weird.

[Ivy]

"going forward" or he "went forward".

Interestingly, when I was growing up in NE Texas it was called "going down to the front" or "going to the front".

"going fahward".


EX: Johnny felt so guilt ridden that he went fahward after services Wednesday night.
