There's nothing wrong with physical involvement, but I think this is more mocking, and especially in regard to the attitudes of those leading the service.
I wasn't objecting to the hand and body gestures, but I do object to using a meaningless, secular song, and the overall tone of the service in that video. I've never been in a Pentecostal service that looked like that, as a whole. I HAVE been in services where musicians were purposely manipulating the "flow" of the service with the speed or style of the music. That's just as wrong, IMO.

As a fellow musician, I know what you mean about manipulating the "flow" of the service with the music. Music affects people in ways they may not realize.

Be careful. This is exactly what I said the last time this video was posted and I got trashed for it.
But it's true. Just same ole, same ole pentecostalism. No biggie.

LoL...thanks for the warning. I thought I was just stating the obvious. 
Seriously though...if the people in the "Hokey Pokey" video had been singing a different song...would anybody have still had a problem with the video?
(I think I'm going to go watch the video with the sound turned off, and see if this makes a difference.)
