So what does that say about the married man who does this stuff? Is he looking for an affair?

Subconsciously.... Yes.

It's been many years since I've been in a Pentecostal-shoutdown-nutso-self-absorbed-look-at-me-fest, but the next time I am, and some married guy shouts, I'm gonna have a laughing fit and roll down the aisle. Bad thing is, though, they'll think I'm really spiritual.

I've never seen anyone get seriously hurt during the frenzied worship stuff before, although have seen people get bumped into quite a few times. I imagine the church's insurance would be held responsible since it would be considered an injury on church grounds?

It seems ridiculous that our "worship" would be so out of control that it causes physical harm to people. I don't see how that glorifies God at all. People need to be careful.

I do remember years back at Youth Camp the counselors had to keep an eye on the boys that were "slain in the spirit" at the altar calls to make sure they weren't looking up the girls' dresses...I guess they actually caught some doing that.

I would say it a bit more strongly than "People need to be careful". I would say that people need to stop this silliness and pentecostalism needs to stop glorifying it and start demanding that all things be done decently and orderly.

And there's no such thing as "Slain in the Spirit."

Is this the voice of experience speaking? If it hasn't happened to me it doesn't happen?

Go to a Baptist church and the worse thing that could happen is that you hit your head on the pew in front of you while falling asleep.

I did see a small child trampled a few years ago by men making laps around the church.
