Seeing people "Catch the Holy Spirit"....did/do you ever find it funny?

Truth Writer

Especially as a kid.

I mean, in church if you saw someone going into what looked like rhythmic-like convulsions, did you ever laugh?

Do you laugh at it now?

granted i wasn't dancing or convulsing, but i did have that experience

however, sometimes it is still funny if it catches you off guard
haven't been to church in years tho

pause on having a "spitritual breakthrough of your own"

That shit is no different that ppl hearing a song they love and wilding out to it

Shit, it's dangerous. Give them at least 5 feet or they will fuck you up. When I was a kids this women, like, exploded next to me. People were trying to hold her down. It was that serious.

Don't think I've ever found it anything but funny

It's hilarious. I don't think I know anybody who ever "caught the spirit".

I don't go to church but if I did, I imagine I'd be SMH at that bullshit.

there needs to be a clinical study on what goes on in the brain during such an event. its usually the band's fault tho. once the song starts winding down.....then it starts back up again and niggas go crazy

I try not to laugh when I see people catching the Holy Ghost but sometimes it's funny. I use to sit at the back of the church and would dose off if the sermon was boring. I like when the pastor is in the zone and making funny grunting sound effects.

The old ladies are funny to. Sometimes it seems like they're competing against each other. I'm not gonna say catching the Holy Ghost is fake but some of them be faking. Some people just want to vent and let out all the misery they are going through in life.

I like when the pastor gathers all the kids and ask them what they know about the Bible and what they want to be in life. He always skipped me because he knew that I knew stuff about the Bible a normal kid didn't know. I always got the weird stare because of the questions I asked. Some people thought I was a little devil.


Anyway, Happy Sabbath

"I can dance dance dance all night"

^^^What y'all know about that phrase?

I seen it a few times @ a black church, it was awkward. It's fake as hell though, they put themselves into a trance then go all crazy.

but it wasn't the music that caused it
music wasn't even playing

I didn't say music had to be there

Parents dragged me to church and it happened right in front of me, some hawaiian lady that had her arms up in the air and she just collapsed and heard her groaning. I thought the chick was dying. I think i went to church every sunday for that month and she did it every damn service.

Never seen it in a white church, seen videos though. Shit looks like some action movie where the hero priest takes on demons leaving them all slain on the floor...

my grandma would have choked me if she saw me laughin ........................................................ but i still did tho

Rock Well

to whoever catches the Holy Spirit this day, i'd like to meet Ghostbusters, see the proton packs and ghost traps used to do it

goldenja

yes

gns

As a kid i'm pretty sure at one point I used to stare in wonderment at peeps....atleast I hope I did, cause I was used to that fuck shit by adolescence.

By the time I stopped going to church I was indifferent to it.
Didnt really know if I should believe them niggaz or not or I just just didnt give a fuck.

All I know my whole fam at one point in their lives HAD to go to church(my Grandmoms didnt play) and i've never seen anyone i'm close to do any of that crap.

theyre just attention whores

Ounceman

I did/do find it funny that when you consider the many fat niggas and bitches who attend service every sunday, catching the holy spirit is probably the most strenuous activity they will ever partake in and wont mind doing

I looked this up a long time ago and I forgot the exact term but scientist attribute it to something called "mass hypnosis." But it's not hypnosis like putting a clock on a string and lulling someone to sleep. Its the premise that if you tell a human being something enough times and they are not educated enough to know better they will begin to believe it and react to whatever you're telling them to believe.

For example if I tie a person in a chair with no clothes on and tell them I have a poisonous spider in a jar and Im going to kill them with it they're body will begin to react. They'll tense up & hairs will stand up & they'll squirm in their chair. If I so much as touch them with my finger they'll likely freak out and scream in terror.

The blindfold in that example is ignorance & the human mind's susceptibility to peer pressure and suggestion. But once that blindfold is taken off; and you tell a person you have a poison spider and you're going to kill them with it they begin to ask questions: "so where's the spider?" "What do you mean I should just 'Have Faith' the spider is there?" "NIgga u aint got no damn spider untie me!" "Fuck you mean if the Spider wills it I can be untied?! Aint no spider to will these fucking straps off nigga!" "I aint letting no damn invisible spider in my heart asshole untie me now!"

Meanwhile, the muthafukkas with the blindfold on are still scared shitless of a spider that isnt even there. Squirming, "praise dancing" & shouting...to a being that was merely an overwhelming "suggestion" by an influential group.
