Something I do have a problem understanding though is the "Holy Laughter."
I've never personally experienced it and EVERYTIME I've ever seen it, I've been very uncomfortable with it.

When my cousin was about 13-14 yrs old, she went thru some kinda something, tongue talking wiped out in the pew, and after she awoke out of this (?), she only laughed instead of communicate, for a long time. I remember it well, 25 years ago. She was walked outside the church building(after service) sat down on a bench. I sat beside her (I was about 10-12), and I tried to talk to her, but she could only laugh. It was strange. I kept asking her questions like "what's your name", "who am I", where do u go to school"? She would make some eye contact, but could not answer, only laugh. Never seen it happen since. She was not slipped a drug. It was not a bluff. Her mom said she was wacked out like that till she awoke the next morning. I'm not into the Pentecostal shockamoo, I think it's mostly rediculous, however that deal was real and I won't ignore or forget it.
