GregFL asks: Now, lets discuss large religious services that whip people up in a healing fest. what happens if you aren't swaying and just sitting there with your arms crossed instead of raised over your head? What if you get slapped in the forehead and instead of convulsing and flailing around, you say "Earnest, Please don't ever hit me again..I don't appreciate it?"


In my case nothing has ever happened. I do keep my seat and I have never felt like waving my arms about, so I don't. No one cares.

I do believe it might be a very different story in some groups though. I wouldn't want to be the dude eating the sandwich, while the rest of the brethren were "motivating" and chanting in the Islamic service.

Someone mentioned the fat Christian lady having a fit. Surely you realize she is mentally ill? Her behavior was abnormal, and her family was appalled and embarrassed. I was more offended by the self righteous and superior attitude displayed by the other church ladies at the luncheon. They had no excuse for being so hateful.

I haven't been to church in a thousand years.  I have no idea what goes on in there.

Of course the church lady is a whacko.  She's just funny as hell to watch.  I didn't see the whole episode, just came across her on Fark.

The church lady is just a deluded fundie/attention whore.


Nothing she demonstrated actually has anything to do with this topic, other than introducing some levity into the conversation.

That's true... How ~did we drift around to the church lady? There must have been some sort of segue...

whoa - HOW MANY years later are people wondering abut the origins of motivating at the program?  Shit, hard to believe where some of your mindsets are as a grown adult.

 you hold yourself in that era by conversing about it daily, weekly, whatever.  I just found this site (accidentally) and am amazed at the craziness here.  grow up and get a life already.

I see your point GregFL. I too have visited a church where people expect everyone to be affected or effected w/e! by the ~Holy spirit.~ and if you weren't outwardly acting like you were, you were shunned or thought of as ~not intouch w/ God... But I can certianly say that even though I sat there in that church just observing all the weird actions.... NO one EVER picked up my hands and physically made me move my arms... No ONE threw me to the floor and sat 5 filthy handed girls on me...
So maybe it started as a religious thing, but Straight demanded we do it.. and if not they physically abused you every single day for not motivating.  It was forcing that made it abusive. I didn't see anyone forcing anyone else to do anything in the video.  No one was guarding the doors.. How did the motivating become abusive? If it was working before (as you have shown in the video) Why make it abusive? Oh, maybe because not everyone will follow the massess. So this is where the group came in... to enforce perticipation.. WTF was that about  :evil:
