EC Knott.... from North OKC... Many a time I would come over to the Church in the middle of the afternoon to Find Bro. Knott layed on his face on the floor in the aisle of the sanctuary weeping and calling on God...
Br. Randy - My husband was pastored by Br. Knott in OKC. He spoke very highly of him. He said he was a gentle man with a real love for people. He also admired Br. Bass, too.
He was a great fan of baseball, as I had earlier mentioned. I never heard him say that he actually played...he may have. I am aware that he had taken up boxing before he got saved. He was a very good fighter.
Right after he got saved, three men met him behind the brush arbor meeting after he had finished some of his earliest preaching. Those men announced to Geo that they were going to give him an old fashioned whoopin' which he had comming to him.
George consented to the whoopin' but asked if he could pray first. The men looked at each other in surprise but granted him the time to pray before they dished out what they thought he deserved. George knelt to pray as they watched.
He prayed, "God, you know that I could whip all three of these men at one time. But, you know that I am a man that can take all and more that they can dish out. It is my intentions to take the whipping in the Spirit of Christ that taught us to turn the other cheek. I will attempt to keep my flesh under control while I'm taking the whipping, but if for some reason I don't keep it under control, I am about to give these three fellows a beating that they will not soon forget. Amen."
George stood up, opened his eyes and looked around. The men were nowhere to be found. They had run for their lives. George's reputation as a fighter before he was saved was well known.
True Story.
LOL! well I know full well that the country he was from produced some serious fighters. it was kind of the local past time. You couldnt be a young man in DeRidder and survive if you couldnt hold up your end of the bargin....
that is a great story.

The late Bishop G.T. Haywood and all the brethern in the Oneness Apostolic past and present and happy 95th Birthday to the late Bishop Morris Ellis Golder.
The list of Apostolic Brethren I admire is almost impossible to go down!
But one of the women ministers that I was privileged to know, and wonder if any of you knew was very colourful to say the least!
Did any of you know Sister Teelie Dover Greer??? Wasn't she in a class all her own?
I remember the first time I met her at a conference, she was up with the rest of us missionaries, and we each were invited up tot he pulpit one by one to introduce ourselves to the conference. When I saw this elderly woman step up to the pulpit I was expecting this weak whispering voice to come out of her. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!
But not only was she MORE than audible, the woman could not string four words together without taking of shouting ...."WELL GLORY!!!!!' and doing a little jig! By the time she was into her third minute of five I was besides myself and I completely lost it! you know the SHRIEKING laughter type spirit! it was terrible! But we became friends from that afternoon on.
She was out of Elder Williams there in Tulsa and knew EVERYBODY in Pentecost! Even Harry Morse! Incredible woman.

Yes, I remember her.. She was quite a woman... In fact have never met anyone quite like her. She could tell a lot of missionary stories...
