=D>  My kitten really enjoyed that video! He loves to watch anything moving around on the screen.

Here is the famous speaking-in-tongues scene from "Saved."

Omg jorJor, that was a total LOL session.  I think I just cried from LOL!!!   I used to love Creflo dollar and another black famous preacher. Can't remember his name tho.  LMAO! I lost religion but I truly had an appreciation for some black preachers.  A white preacher in a Pentecostal church Center of Hope pushed me over the edge.  Lmao.  This world would be a better place if everyone watched that.

You really should. It's a funny movie, very sarcastic about religion without being in-your-face anti-Christian. Definitely one of my favorite comedies.

Apostate, did u watch JorJor's movie?  I laughed my ass of at that one also.

[ApostateLois]

I've seen some of those moves in white churches!

[Jorjor]

I think the Pew Disrupter(one at the very beginning) is my favorite

Reminds me of the first Blues Brothers movie.

This was pretty interesting to me. I didn't know anything about it.  
All I knew about speaking tongues was that it was something Christians thought demons sounded like,lol.

What the Bible actually talks about is the times after the Jewish sect that called itself Christians allowed non-Jews to join.  (Or, more likely, was taken over by non-Jews.)  People who didn't speak Aramaic joined and spoke in their own languages - or tongues.  So "speaking in tongues" literally means "speaking in foreign languages".  It has nothing to do with the nonsense seen in evangelical churches these days.  A Latin mass would be "speaking in tongues".

Much of Christianity has little if anything to do with the Bible.

That is such sad truth COLANATH.

DRUNKENSHOE, i accidentaly posted 2* about this    Not bad manners just good beer       its a big scam where people make noise/jibberish and claim that God is telapathically sending them prayers in a tounge which only God can understand.

[MrsSassyPants]

DrunkenShoe,  talking in tounges is such a joke. The noise (if I had made it) was purely controlled by me.  Not the holy spirit, as I was told.  I refused to say Fa La La, La la la laaaaaaa and give god credit for it.  At the time, I thought God was just not giving me the Fire everyone else had. Which made me feel bad honestly.

I'm an ex-pentecostal.


yeah anybody can do it. just start babbling incoherently.

way I was taught the "Holy ghost" came down and prayed to god for you in some secret language that only god knows. that way the demons wouldn't find out what you said and throw a monkey wrench in gods plans.

Then there would be times when somebody would scream babble and the service would halt, and everybody even the musicians would stop dead like a yankee walking in a redneck bar. After the babbling, somebody else would stand up and "interpret" what was said.

looking back on it, I can't believe I used to buy into this shit. but then I was just a kid.

[MrsSassyPants]

Yes hillbilly!! Thankfully I wasn't exposed to that when I was a child.  I was in my mid 20s before I experience Pentocost (or however they spell that crap).  I was a full grown adult and I believed that bullshit.  The preacher was doing it, and practically everyone was except me.  The exposure I got in that pentocostal church finally did wake me up to the brainwash.  But it took me months after leaving there to see it.   And once the smoke cleared from my brain, I was PISSED!!!!  Honestly, I think religion is abuse.
