Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey

Let's have a vote. 

Which is more disturbing?

1. That a worship leader, even one with the requisite cool spiky hair,  leather bracelet and untucked plaid would try this

or

2. An ENTIRE CROWD would go along with something this demonstrably goofy?

(Bonus:  you may also vote for the Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey Healing Testimonies)

Actually what's disturbing is at 4:23 into the video the woman in the background does what appears to be a fake yawn in order to see if her pit stick is still working or not which it appears it is not, cause she leaves the stage immediately.

She must of worked up into quite a lather playing the keyboard during the Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey!

whole crowd going along with it is clearly more disturbing!

It's a tie for me between this and Granger's Simon Says with glo sticks.

When I look at this stuff I truly wonder... about pretty much everything concerned with Christianity and the folks on the outside looking in.

"Alzheimer's is not scriptural... Short-term memory is not Biblical." $#@&%!!!

#2 is most disturbing, but not at all surprising to anyone who's attended such an event. People will go along with whatever the guy on the stage says, as long as it's presented as something "spiritual".

I'd like to see them do this without sensational music going on. It would just be crazy. Not that it's not already crazy, but I'm talking about super-stupid-crazy.

As a question for logistics: If you put something IN, then take it OUT, does God only heal when it's IN? Is it the "shake it all about" that makes God release what God's holding back from the rest of us?

And the Alzheimer's comment pisses me off tremendously.

Well... "short term memory is unbiblical."

The church has jumped the shark.

at first i rolled my eyes, then giggled and then just started crying.

I think this is the only exercise that some of these people get, so maybe there's something to it. I only watched up to the guy who said his knees were fixed - could it be that that was the most he'd moved his knees in years and that helped loosen them up?

[Brandon Johnson]

I'm still really just wondering what part of this hokey pokey has anything to do with the Holy Ghost...

[Matt Stone]

I couldn't bare to watch it all. It was like one of those YouTube FAIL video compilations full of people having horrifying accidents. Strangely compelling yet difficult to stick with all the way through. Church as spiritual car crash.

David, just looked up the Simon Says vid. Huh??? Talk about vacuous.
