WHY DO FOLKS PASS OUT IN CHURCH?

[Dee-Dee Sheridan]

I went to church last Sunday and this woman started screaming and hollering at the top of her lungs then she just passed out on the floor.
She layed there for about 30 minutes then she finally got up. I don't know if she was shamed to get up or if she just fell asleep. graemlins/conf44.gif

Holy Spirit


"Jack" does the same thing to me when I hear a slammin set of house music.

[Nege]

[Basecore Boy]

I hope they are feeling the spirit of the lord. If not, God knows the fakes.

[MYOR]

She got the holy spirit... in her.. so they say..

She was lying on the floor for so long my 5 year old niece ask me if she was dead?

My Mom explained it as this is the only place where these women could let go and get out their frustrations with life. Let go and Let GOD in the literal sense I suppose. As I got older I understood it much clearer as to what my Mother meant.

Leslie I have seen all forms praise"

1. Passing out
2. Running around the entire church
3.Climbing the pews
4 Running into walls
5.Flipping backwards out chairs
6.Wigs coming off
7.Shouting till stockings fall off
8.Shouting & breaking heels on shoes
9. Casting out spirits
You name It I've seen it. I've seen people scream & holler every time I go to this particular church It's like it's a Ritual. If you don't scream & pass out then you aint got yo praise on. It was phony!

It's just an emotional let-out.Then there are some who are attenton getters.I remember going to my grandfather's church when I was around 12.My sister had to be 3.This lady next to us was just chillin,then all of a sudden she jumped up,threw her baby,my moms caught the kid,then proceeded to get down fo the laaaaawd!!!It took them damn near an hour to get her calmed down.

We were all bug eyed.We never went back.Some folks have an outlet for things and the chuuuch is one of em.

I remember in church we used to pray to be filled with the Holy Ghost so we could "speak in tongues." Never happened to me. Never fell out either. Have been closer to that state dancing in the club. I always thought music was essential to folks falling out in church. Like when the two ushers come up and hold hands around a person who is dancing in the spirit so they won't hit their head on the pew when they catch the spirit and fall out. Used to scare me when I was little.

Zora Neale Hurston's research drew a lot of parallels between the "sanctified church" and traditional African spiritual practices.
To her, the person who "got the spirit" in church was the same as someone who was mounted or possesed by an ancestral spirit in an African ritual. Could be the same as when a person enters a trance state in a club. To me, it's rooted in the music more than in spirits.

[Mah'chew]

Was David Byrne hidden in the corner filming her with his video camera?

I recently saw a show on the BBC where a church in the US used poisonous snakes in their ceremony. I think it was in Louisianna, once the person was filled with the 'holy spirit' out came the snakes to test them! These snakes were biting people, but they felt nothing, because they were trancing out so much.

I felt more sorry for the snakes than I did for the people, silly buggers if you ask me :(

but yes. we are the bible belt.

lol @ this whole thread.
i'm from macon, ga and this is just reminding me of every sunday from my childhood.

yeah...thanks alot mom.

[ngeso]

snakehandling is the redneck equivalent of voodoo.

Mark, Chapter 16:
"And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them."
