About this Episode
In this antepenultimate episode: "Canada Bill" Jones and why he played a poker game he knew was crooked. Have you ever attended a church that openly preached that their group was the only right one, or at least the rightest one by far in the area? (Or did they just live like this was the case?) In Brethren circles, non-membership has its privileges. Sports and poker metaphors. Teaching people they can't simply go to another church intensifies the fighting over everything in the group you've made the only game in town. How many drummers does one man need? A lot of painstaking technical trickery, trying to make a blast from the past blast rather than crash. Closing in prayer as a way of forestalling an open discussion.
