Hillbilly Ten Commandments

Some people in West Virginia have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten commandments. . Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks got together and translated the "King James" into " Jackson County " language,.... no joke, read on... The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments.
(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma &Pa.
(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin.'
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.

Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think?

Y'all have a nice day.

I lived in WV and met my hubby there. Never heard anyone talk that way where we lived. Maybe you have WV confused with Branson Missouri?

I'm sure the Ten Comandments are interpreted many ways around the planet. This is Post a Joke.

I too have to believe folks from hill country, WV to OK and beyond, full well understand this version.

Bubba Country language seems pretty easy to understand, doesn't it?

Even so, a few of our nearest Bubba Country neighbors seem to think that some of them don't apply to them, even though they profess to be the ones who go to church every Sunday.

The ones that stick out, that they have problems with, are 3, 8, 9 & 10. Only they, and you-know-who, know whether they obey the others.

But, as the doctor told the guy with the kidney stone, all things will pass.

I gave up trying to find a perfect church. That was when I realized that if I found one and joined it, it wouldn't be perfect anymore.

I used to think about churches a bit like Groucho Marx felt about private clubs - why would I want to join one that would accept me as a member? But then I figured, isn't that what a church is supposed to be about?

Too bad too many of them seem to forget that.
