    Here is the sordid history of Honesty:

    South Knoxville, TN. - Many kind brothers. All but one or two passed on now.

    Seymour, TN. - Pharisaic and aloof. Big turnover. For some reason it might be the general atmosphere that permeates the congregation.

    Walland, TN. - Good memories. Mostly well-intentioned brothers. When I had to DA it was very traumatic and uncomfortable but I just couldn't worship a lie.
