Those kids in Sunday School (1) are so Sunday School (3) that they don't even know what to be Sunday School (2) about.

Abbreviation for Multi-Level Marketing, a business model in which marketers are paid commissions on the sales of other marketers that they recruit, as well as on their own sales. To qualify as MLM, the business plan must actually focus upon selling a marketable product or service.
Business and marketing n00bs frequently confuse MLM with pyramid schemes, a business model that focuses on paying bonuses for recruiting people, rather than commissions on sales, because the criminals who start pyramid schemes like to scam n00bs and flatter themselves by calling their schemes MLM. They may even pretend to operate an MLM business by forcing marketers to stockpile unmarketable products to pretend they are selling it.
Anyone who calls a pyramid scheme MLM helps the scammers trick their victims.

The sort of experience most people aren't familiar with, though it almost happened on Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
If you really need to know what it's like to be drunk, just drink a glass of water of water and ask it.

The divine name of God, as used in the English language. From the ancient Hebrew, which had no vowels, YHVH or JHVH. Other languages use similar spellings.
The name Jehovah is so fearsome to some people that they went to the trouble to remove it from His own book. They alternate between the excuses, that we don't know the original pronunciation of God's name, and that God's name is Jesus, when in fact, Jesus isn't the original pronunciation of Yeshua's name and that doesn't seem to bother them.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom", (Ps. 111:10), so fearing His name is fine. However, how is one to gain further wisdom when one fears fear itself more than one fears Jehovah?
