She laid on the ground for a long time - They thought she was slain in the spirit but really what had happend, she had hit her head one the edge of the pew and ended up with a concusion. Eventually, one of the members realized it was serious and 911 was called. Ambulance attendees carried her out and she ended up in the hospital for 2-3 days.

She filed a suit against the church but eventually dropped the charges at the ugency of her relatives

Good Lord.... I'll bet her "relatives" made HER to be the villain in the whole thing.

I don't believe for a second that this man was really drunk. The holy spirit doesn't take over people so that they are impaired. This is this man's own doing and nothing of God.

My friend, it would amaze us all if we knew the number so fpeople who have been hutrt in church while doing the shockamoo.

I have personally seen it happen.

90% of the the time there is far more flesh involved in our antics that the spirit of God.

Go ahead ...Shoot me now.

People who "lose it" in church are generally just caught up in the hype. When someone really gets closer to God they become MORE aware of their surroundings and MORE in their right mind- not less!

I don't know.....I've seen people so drunk in the Holy Ghost that they absolutely couldn't walk or talk (English). I've seen teenagers in this condition that you would never dream would do it, and I know it wasn't for attention. I've seen them have to be carried out. So I do believe you can be "impaired". They were obviously appearing to be drunk on the Day of Pentecost.

I agree with you Sister.

I don't think most posters on this thread realized that the story that started the thread was a farce. However, I believe people can appear to be drunk under the influence of the Holy Ghost because the Bible mentions it.

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.
