Inside, it was like a freakshow. People suddenly being "seized by the spirit" and "babbling in tounges", while rolling on the floor with apparently no control of their bodies. The ministers (there were three) were "casting out the demons of the sick", which seemed to sometimes work and sometimes not, apparently depending on the strength of the demon and the strength of the faith of the minister and the sick person. All this was happening with a gospel choir backed by the crowd as the mood music. I never saw stuff like that growing up. When I first heard about it, I thought it was an aberration. I never knew it was that common. And its not just the white churches......black churches are like that too. Its weird to me. By comparison, the church I went to was like a funeral.....so sedate and passive, people would fall asleep.
