    I was at a Pentecostal gathering many years ago, and a woman walking by me "fell out" as some say (fell under the power) as she passed me, then got up and read this verse to me, but she kept saying "Ho, Ho" until she found the passage (after she got up). My husband had just accepted a job down South, and the passage talks about "getting from the land of the North" and the indulgence of Babylon.

    Santa never crossed my mind!

    Let me preface that the whole experience was strange and surreal. We wouldn't have taken this as "confirmation" of God's will or anything.

    It was interesting and "memorable" though!

    However, fleeing the land of the North is always a good idea (whether taken as a directive from that scripture or just by using simple good sense).

    My sister and I always loved pulling that one out to "prove" Santa Claus. It can really frustrate some people. We used to calculate the degree of their ire by the particular shade of crimson in their faces.

    We also loved talking about the shortest man in the Bible (Bildad the Shoe-height, Job 2:11) and arguing that Adam wasn't the only man in the Bible who didn't have parents, as evidenced by Exodus 33:11 - "Joshua, the son of none."

    The fundies used to love us.
