Here's an interesting Black Fact
Family, I never knew what it meant but I've seen it a million times...now I know.
Holding up finger in church
Have you ever attended a church service and saw someone hold up a finger as they are exiting the sanctuary during the service? What does it mean?
During the slavery days when the masters took their slaves with them to public gatherings, the slaves would always sit in the balcony. When the slave had to go to the bathroom or wanted to be excused for any reason, they would hold their hand up and keep it up until their master acknowledged that they saw their and gave them permission to leave or in other words "excused them to leave". After the slave was given permission to leave, they would hold up one finger as they were leaving to inform anyone that saw them leave that they had been excused.
So it means "My Master has excused me". This is where the "holding up of one finger while leaving the Sanctuary" carried over from. Which goes to show that you should investigate rituals before you follow them.

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
This is what the word FAMILY means:
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
