Guy's wife can't stand his drinking. Goes to a counselor for advice. He says dress up as the devil and scare him when he comes home drunk. Guy comes through the door polluted and she jumps out to scare him. Guy says, "I ain't scared of you. I'm married to your sister!"
They can recognize Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They can recognize that the only way to get to heaven is through Jesus. They can recognize that without God's grace they will burn in hell
But they can't recognize each other in a liquor store.
Where I'm from the county was dry, until the late 90s. I worked near the ABC store, and although there was plenty of parking space, people would circle the block. Never saw more than 3 cars in the parking lot, ever.
I grew up in the Grace Brethren church. Think of Southern Baptist on steroids. No drinking, no dancing, singing is ok if the song is 75 years or older. It's a long story but I was asked to leave. I'm very proud of that

I was born into the Episcopal Church. "It's nearly unpalatable." One time my sister got a hold of a bottle, her and her bestie were sick the entire weekend! Grew up in a small mill town as a PK. I had to have a sense of humor, or I would have been filled with hate.
Small town & mail order. We got it by the case from a religious supply house. Probably the same stuff at the Catholic church, since they used the same catalog. Also, Midwest, long before the micro-winery fad.
Now that I live in wine country, I have a bit more appreciation for fermented grape juice, but it's not my usual drink. For all I know it was great stuff, but as a kid...
