I grew up in a Pentecostal church and I can tell you that most of them are not pretending it’s real, they truly believe it is real. As a teen, I was a genuine believer who really wanted to experience “the full gifts of the Holy Spirit”, and would go to as many special services at our church as I could, and would have people pray over me just about every time.
I grew up in a church that believed in "speaking in tongues" I believe it was called. There might be an aspect of pretending for some but I can also attest to it being "real" too.
From the south. My wife and I went to an evangelical gathering centered around this "prophet". It was so whack. People getting "drunk in the spirit", laughing uncontrollably, and this guy claimed that gold dust would sometime appear when he spoke. He pulled out his kmart issued gold glitter and started flinging here and there - at that point, it was time to go. People are freaky.
Back when my people loved being big too spiritual. The time period was called the rush hour of gods because many cults popped up. Everybody was having a good spiritual time until some idiot decided sarin gas attack on Tokyo metro was a good idea. Spoiler alert, that dude was sentenced to death.
I think it's a universal human thing. The Dionysian archetype. Surrendering reason and selfhood for the cathartic experience of collective mania. Scary af.
What's the mentality for something like that? Like, is it an "emperor's new clothes" thing, where they know it's not real but they're afraid to admit it, for fear of being accused of not having enough faith and being shunned? Or are they really so brainwashed that they truly believe the priests have powers?
Biggest difference is the demeanor of the crowd, it's a joke to them here. Evangelicals and other like demoninations though, their people are fucking serious and it's honestly scary to watch.
In India it's a fairly recent phenomenon...it's been happening worldwide for decades (in the USA to drive donations, in Asia and Africa to convert through faith healers) and now here ...it's a tried and tested technique.
I think it starts with some level of unconscious cooperation from those more susceptible to suggestions ("When I push my Qi forward, you should feel a push. Did you feel that?"), develops to a conditioned response, and then at some point they really believe they actually feel something that isn't there. The more suggestible in the crowd probably also help to sell the idea that something is actually happening to the other people around, who will probably agree to avoid being the problem person.
Same here. Like, is it an "emperor's new clothes" thing, where they know it's not real but they're afraid to admit it, for fear of being accused of not having enough faith and being shunned? Or are they really so brainwashed that they truly believe she has powers?
Whatever cult shit is going on here, I can attest to the fun of a group of people going ape shit crazy all together. Flailing around in a circle pit while the Suicide Machines are up on stage is some of the most fun I've ever had
I agree. I’m sure most of these people just wanted to let loose and have some fun when daily life wouldn’t allow. Like sweet I can roll around and spin like a crazy person in public and no one will judge me, where do I sign up?
I think that this is something similar to hypnotism. When I was at university a hypnotist did a show one night and I volunteered to go up on stage. He got us to do various things that we all went along with. When he told us all we were now chickens, I didn’t actually think I was a chicken but felt compelled to go along with it and cluck around the stage.
I know everybody thinks these people are pretending or whatever but I can assure you they are not. I grew up in this environment, these people are 100% earnest in their beliefs, and the flopping around on the floor is like.... juuuuuust barely voluntary.
Imagine if someone there wasn't really into but just showed up to pretend to be overwhelmed with divine power just to smack a few people in the mouth for fun.
Geez, I thought they were all fans of some game, and this was a conference or something. And the woman "throwing" the whatever was playing a character in the game that did those things. Like a superhero character. That would be much more fun.
And the genX says we millennials don't know anything. This would not work on us, we watched too much anime and played too much games to take something like this seriously.
"As Harv his the aisles dancin' and screamin', some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon! Harv thought he had a weedeater loose in his fruit of a looms"
I wonder if its fun pretending this shit is real or if you just hate yourself for it.
Its just strange to imagine how you could ever get to this point where you actually feel compelled to roll around on the floor at the wave of a hand.
This is legit real. I live in SE Asia and there are some whaaaaacko cults that make the US ones look like daycares. It's so messed it's not funny.

A lot of them are laughing as they roll around.

I think the large amount of money you get if you get selected to be a high ranking member will put a smile on most of these peoples faces.
Ever heard of WWF?
That one dude is trying a little TOO hard to be teacher’s pet.
No he’s the only one being paid to be there.
Give him a break kindergarten is tough
Round One Fight!!!
First comment I saw. He really brought his a-game. Oscar worthy
I literally hurt my eye-roll muscles just now.
I'd say he's her husband
Now blindfold them all and do it again!
Easy there, Randi!
Hah-yoo-kis
That kind of power only enters from the eyes silly
Ever seen a faith healer fix an amputee?

Hey my local Pentacostal Church in North Idaho started the gemstones from heaven craze. I did a report on it here...
Wow that's crazyyy, I'm from the mid east (VA). I guess some would refer to it as southern. What year around about did this happen?
Crazy how the cameraman wasn’t affected by it.
The electromagnetic waves of the camera obviously disrupt the holy spirit.
He's tanking
I love when women in dresses are still trying to hide their bits while rolling around being possessed by the spirit or whatever.
the spirits uhhhh want to protect their modesty
I did see a black panty
The spirit keeps it holy ofc.
You sound disappointed 😏
Aum Shinrikyo type shit going on here.
certified cult classic 🤗
Hah hah hah hah, oh young Sapien, ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, and don't masturbate.
Back when my people loved being big too spiritual. The time period was called the rush hour of gods because many cults popped up. Everybody was having a good spiritual time until some idiot decided sarin gas attack on Tokyo metro was a good idea. Spoiler alert, that dude was sentenced to death.
Its scary how much this reminds me think of southern evangelical churches.
Reminds me of Steven Seagals "bullshido"
They are probably an evangelical group. They are heavily active in S Korea and Japan.
Back in the... 70s or 80s, I attended a VERY Pentecostal local church, tongues and the whole thing a couple times with a very devout friend.
I feel ya. My first thought was it was religious in some way. What is going on here?
My thoughts exactly. And I bet they'd laugh at this...
At the very end they said it was God's power so maybe some missionaries brought that line of thinking to Japan?
Slain in the Spirit? Meet Killed by Kami…

Its all the same nonsense. Tongues. Feeling the spirit enter their body. Yep. This video is on the same level of reality.
How is this not too comment wtf
In India it's a fairly recent phenomenon...it's been happening worldwide for decades (in the USA to drive donations, in Asia and Africa to convert through faith healers) and now here ...it's a tried and tested technique.
Many stuff would remind me of this, religions, martial art(?), cults, shady yoga group, supernatural exorcist enthusiast, etc.
This is exactly like evangelical churches.
Let's just hope she never breaks wind!!!!
I’m sure it would smell like roses. 🌹💐🌺🌷
What's sad is this ain't no joke
At first I thought it was just some goofballs having fun, but as the video went on I realized it was some weird ass religious bullshit. Oh well.
[удалено]
Oh, I completely thought this was some kinda improv group session or something. They all look like they're having fun.
Very well be the same shit that drove that dude to assassinate Abe.
Hadouken
Yes?
I am truly unable to discern if this is a cult or an improv class...
According to the subtitle in the end, it's a cult. It translates to 'it's not the body that is moving, it's the spirit that's driving it'.
I’m very interested to understand this behavior. What are they thinking? Genuinely.

Sonic BOOM!
Wow, she almost knocking me off my chair too!....... from laughter
Religion?
Religion.
No man these are those stick in the mud atheists, just getting really excited about evidence and science and stuff.
No. Jedi
My man @0:06 started hardcore dancing 🤣

Ta parecendo a universal sem ter pago o aluguel das cadeiras
haha. Eu já fui da universal
Grown mfs really playing pretend out here
Wish I had such power over so many naive believers, I would get drunk and still feel like I had unlimited power
Deeefinitely not a cult.
In the context of that video…what’s happening here ? Is that some kind of bs exhibition of a psychic trainer with her brainwashed students ?
Benny Hinn's wife?
I hate this.
Shooreh pippi! Shooreh pippi!
What is this? It looks like some sort of Asian-style Pentecostal church madness? Context?
Christian church on speaking in tongues day be like:
I know everybody thinks these people are pretending or whatever but I can assure you they are not. I grew up in this environment, these people are 100% earnest in their beliefs, and the flopping around on the floor is like.... juuuuuust barely voluntary.
can someone please dub some death metal over this?
This is a live feed of twitter right now
I love after work get togethers.
Better that Jimmy Swaggart on the piano.
sigh if only had more motivation and less morals, I'd so be a cult leader. Seems as long as you don't go off the deep end it's damn good money.
To be fair, this was before hentai was created.
Pretty sure this is HOW hentai was created...
Can someone tell me just WTF is going on here?
Those scammer cunts needs to get taxed
I’ve no clue what’s going on but he really said “kamisama powa desu” lmfao
What a useless waste of energy, when you think they could actually use it for something more constructive, like a giant orgy.
Imagine if someone there wasn't really into but just showed up to pretend to be overwhelmed with divine power just to smack a few people in the mouth for fun.
Is this the cult of Aum Shinrikyo?
For $19.99 per minute you can be swoon by a wizard in this roleplay
These mosh pits are getting weirder and weirder.
What church is this?
Lol human beings are such funny animals ,😂 it's stuff like this that reminds me that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously 😂😂
Best episode of Takeshi's castle ever
Is this one them wierd asian cults?
What is going on? Can someone explain please?
I wonder if someone can be an actor and a believer at the same time
Geez, I thought they were all fans of some game, and this was a conference or something. And the woman "throwing" the whatever was playing a character in the game that did those things. Like a superhero character. That would be much more fun.
Ah, pentacostalism
The Asian Pentecostal
Fucking weirdo’s
Why do I get the feeling this is a church o_O
Good ol’ Bullshido.
That guy at the end was just trolling. Legend!
Religion is a mental disease. Here’s the proof
Religion...
Blow the covid away!!!
As a kid I used to waft my farts like that also.
Those are some big kindergartners.
What kind of dumb ass religion bullshit is this?
This some kind of Pentecostal Church in China or somethin…?
[удалено]
Proof that goofy holy roller shit aint just for Americans
When you take a conservative, repressed society and give permission to act out this is what you get.
Bro on God being a Pentecostal Christian was fun as fuck. I’m a universalist/spiritualist now tho.
Weird lot, the Japanese. Still, nice to belong to something, isn't it?
Reminds me of acting classes.
The camera man just stands there filming those idiots lmao
Holy rollers
Audition for training with Steven Seagal?
Mind control, Brain wash, stupidity to the fullest!
It's like Fus Ro Dah in Skyrim.
Mosh pit for the super religious
People are fucking weird man
Shoryuken!
I missed those real life super heroes
This reminds me of them fake demon filed people getting the devil cast out of them I think Benny him?
Holy Spirit tornado?
Darth Vader when he uses the force. lol
Force push?
Spot the button masher in the room. Every friend group had one. We all knew!
Looks fun. I wouldn’t mind doing this under such false pretenses. I see a lot of people smiling while rolling around. Good times.
Looks like a pentecostal church on a Sunday 🤣
The guy in the black suit be like, "you bitches ain't even trying. Let me show you how it's done"
Hadouken............hadouken.....hadouken.
This was the warm up before Steven seagal entered
Just before Japanese orgy
Add a fart sound to the very beginning of it and you’ve got gold. In its current form it’s scary culty bullshittery.
People are so weird.
The cameraman isn’t affected, must be real.
See People were always crazy. The Internet just gives them a voice.
They got that kind of shit in Asia as well? I thought it was just America.
And the genX says we millennials don't know anything. This would not work on us, we watched too much anime and played too much games to take something like this seriously.
Qu’est-ce que fuck???
Humans are morons.
Hysterical religious fervor, I’m guessing?
Evangelical fighter 2: tournament edition.
Here for the comments
I can do this
oh shit they started break dancing
I still do that… when I fart 💨😁
She’s throwing farts
Her fart game is strong.
The translation said something about stress
Hadouken!
Mosh pit are weird these days.
Nice to see it’s not just dumb Americans anymore.
Looks like she's blowing her farts at them.
(Sigh) - and my grandpa is curious why I never took to religion very well.
Children in adult bodies.
Boy her armpits must stink.
This is another version of He-gassen
I got so many questions
Sad. Reminds me of evangelicals. Healed.
It’s just bad body odour
I have observed this happening in an Islamic cult, too. People were saying “huu” and throwing themselves from their chairs.
Hadouuuken
This is more wholesome then I imagined
Magneto Assist Combo
Wish I could do this in Church, but I would probably get exorcised 😅
Apparently it says “it’s not the body that moves itself but the spirit that moves it”. So, maybe she is ‘moving their spirits’?
Mass delusion
so how do these work at churches? some of these guys are clearly staged while others just go through some placebo cure or some shit like that?
Do people pay for this ? Talking about people being in stress.
lol the water dancer at the end
"As Harv his the aisles dancin' and screamin', some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon! Harv thought he had a weedeater loose in his fruit of a looms"
Even adults wanna have some fun sometimes right?
What magic is being thrown here?
That one guy must have gotten his "Knocked Loose" concert mixed up with his slay the demon day.
These people legitimately need helmets.
POV: you learned that your parents were involved in this kind of shit before..
Wind palm 🖐️🖐️🖐️
There's alway that one guy...
I do this with my farts.
The GOP conference
KIKOKEN!
Munancho!
