Two elderly, excited Southern women were sitting together in the front pew of a church listening to a fiery preacher.
When this preacher condemned the sin of stealing, these two ladies cried out at the tops of their lungs: “Amen Brother”.
When the preacher condemned the sin of lust, they yelled again: “Preach it, reverend”.
And when the preacher condemned the sin of lying, they jumped to their feet and screamed: “Right on, brother. Tell like it is. Amen”.
But when the preacher condemned the sin of gossip, the two got very quiet.
One turned to the other and said: “He’s quit preaching and now he’s meddlin’.”
