Ah! A coincidence almost right off! Yesterday I did some reverse speech voice
analysis on "Pastor Gregory"s archived sermons at:
http://www.byronbible.org/byrontext.htm. One thing he repeated in reverse was
the curse, "God damn!" whenever he said forward, "my body." His memeset is
obviously *incongruent* unconsciously......(this could start a whole different
subject! How congruent are our memesets?) With the technology of Reverse Speech
analysis we are now able to check them to see.
