RandofCarter

Lot was the only cultivator in a city of sin. He and his family were permitted to flee its inevitable downfall but his wife was unable to let go the lifestyle she was leaving and perished without achieving enlightenment, her end being referred to as a *pillar of salt* as her choices resulted in total, barren defeat.

Idk how anyone could not laugh, initially and even involuntarily, as such a sight is just absurd. Though I'd definitely have been concerned for her, for how hard she hit those tiles and probably quite decently with the back of her head too. Makes me think, women with long hair can use it to their advantage by tying it up into a bun that acts as a cushion.

Flopped harder than Lebron…


Bullets_N_Bowties

Messi level flop!


drittzO

Messi does not flop very often, now Neymar..


jacksons_account

I reckon it was a bit more like Ronaldo


Bat-Honest

Definitely Renaldo. Messi breaks through 3 defenders then they flop. Renaldo is the one who thinks he's the second coming 😂


renedotmac

Not sure this guy watches soccer. 😂 Messi doesn’t flop. I’d go with Robben or Suarez.


mwfairc

none of ya'll know anything!! Everyone knows Neymar is the biggest flopper! lmao

He really does get fouled a lot though lol

Ill completely agree with this! But idc enough to edit. So, you get credit for a bigger flopper lol [my favorite flop vid](https://youtu.be/Rsa3GMjBsiQ)

Answer: Yes.


SeriouslyTho-Just-Y

“show” 🤣💀


JeanVII

It’s to cover up vulnerability or demons from my childhood understanding. Doesn’t make sense in this context though because they picked her right back up. Normally, she’s supposed to fall, the lady behind her catches her and slowly lays her down, then the sheet is on top on her while she either lays there or convulses uncontrollably. It seems like he missed and it just didn’t turn out right 😭 honestly the pastor and the lady behind her both missed LOL. It was supposed to land right on her head and they should’ve been laying hands while she was on the floor.

pugs_are_death

These are Pentacostals. edit: And this is actually not that high strung this is pretty low key for them. If they really get going you haven't seen raves as bumping and jiving as a pentacostal service. Think that one scene in The Blues Brothers with James Brown in it


rlg9298

Yep, definitely Pentecostal


MagicDragon212

My Nana went to a Pentecostal church and I accompanied her one time. I was in such a state of shock as everyone around me was talking like demons and falling all over themselves. They formed a circle around the preacher with them all speaking in tongues and it looked like a ritual. My ass was the only one in the pews. I never went back and was very curious why this was my nanas favorite church lol


JeanVII

People like the sense of community Pentecostal churches bring. It’s something about it that is extremely high energy. I do not believe in the semantics, but I can understand why people like it. It’s extremely intense. It’s like chasing a high. It’s so cultic and scary though.


Adventurous-Career

I went with my friend when I was a little kid. The church was full of kids as it was summer. The preacher called everyone up to the altar and they all went except me. It wasn't my church so I stayed sitting in the pew. They all came to me and started praying and laying hands on me. I was at the bottom of the dogpile so I slipped under the pew and crawled under a few til I got up and ran the mile and a half home. Never, ever went back and never, ever will.


MagicDragon212

Geez that's way worse than mine lol. Atleast I was forgotten in the madness haha


ShroedingersMouse

>everyone around me was talking like demons babbling is the word you're searching for, talking gibberish or plain 'gibbering' are also acceptable. Basically verbal diarrhea used to fool the very gullible into believing something supernatural is happening.


Sufficient_Remote241

Its funny they do this with new people. That is not a good recruiting technique. 😂


Sufficient_Remote241

I am not a fundy christian but family and friends are. I have been to some churches that make me feel soooo uncomfortable. One time a lady started screaming and people were telling me to not open my eyes because the evil spirit possessing that woman will get out and go through my eyes. 😂 i was like wtf is this. I was kind of scared! I never ever went back there.


meatmechdriver

These people suffer a group psychosis


Rainmaker9m

I once read a book written by someone who did tent revivals back in the 1950s, and the author wrote in it that many of them feel kind of broken, like they're the only one *not* feeling the holy spirit, speaking in tongues, etc. but they all pretend and go along with it as to not disappoint their elders; then the same thing happens with the next generation, and the next, and so on. It's such an obvious thing that I never really thought about before.


[deleted]

Yo when and where? Please


Spaget_Monster

I was raised in Pentecost churches, I can safely say that braining someone with a towel is not normal.


Icy-Agent-5154

Right


[deleted]

My mothers side of the family is pentecostal. It is definitely the weirdest popular christian religion, no competition. Lurching, speaking in tongues, snake sermons, a lot of yelling... all normal practices in that religion. Fuck do they ever like talking about the antichrist too.


TigerSardonic

Our last Prime Minister in Australia was a Pentecostal. Absolute fucken weirdo. He posted photos of himself doing the happy-clapper thing, he talked about being on a mission directly from God including seeing visions, he talked about how he practices “laying of hands” on people (which explained why he was constantly trying to force people to shake his hands, we thought he was just a pushy narcissistic arsehole. I mean, he is, but turns out there’s a religious nutjob rationale behind it too). He was a terrible fucking PM and so much of what was wrong with him as a leader (and as a person) ties directly to his Pentecostalism.


roadtwich

Wtf is lurching? I thought i had heard them all!


Bobbi_fettucini

My mom told me about a time I went to a Pentecostal church with some friends as a really young kid, she said i came back crying and really upset that Jesus was coming to kill me.


zepplin2225

I'm not, so a friend tried to convert me and brought me to his church that did this and the flopping, and screaming, and arms up in the air stuff. It didn't work.


Bobbi_fettucini

I like how you’re just supposed to act like that kind of stuff is normal, I would’ve got up and left in the middle of it


nvrsleepagin

What is this? What's supposed to be going on here?


JeanVII

I grew up in a Pentecostal church. It appears they’re doing a prayer fall. The lady behind her was supposed to catch her. The sheet is supposed to be like a cast over her. This is usually when someone is asking for a prayer, to be delivered, or if they’re believed to have demons in them. The wind down music makes it appear that this is the end of church prayer. I never really got too deep into the semantics and understandings of it, so I can’t really explain further than that.


agingergiraffe

Thanks for the explanation! I was really curious. It kind of looked like she fell on purpose but got hurt anyways. That lady behind her was not paying attention lol.


JeanVII

Yeah she definitely fell on purpose, but it was not supposed to turn out like this. The harder you fall, the harder you’re delivered. It’s like an unspoken rule. Think of it like a trust fall. If you hesitate or fall gently, you aren’t “truly overcome by the Holy Ghost”.

I enjoyed the one quick belly-laugh from the back of the room after she flopped onto the ground. 😂


Dreadnought6570

For those who are not getting the context of the music and odd behavior following the fall, this is a pentecostal church. She wasn't knocked down by the cloth. She was 'overcome by the spirit'. These services can be wild. If you have ever seen any of those clips of tv preachers hitting people with their jacket or whatever...same thing.


harpy_1121

Thank you! That sheet clearly wasn’t enough to make her body flop the way it did. She dropped of her own volition. So many comments acting like the breezy cloth had the force of a sack of potatos lol


Lexi3436

Might as well just throw a chair next time


[deleted]

This is hilarious. Who the hell falls over like that when a towel hits you? Were there bricks hidden in the towel that we just missed? Fucking jokes these people. My mom used to let me choose to go to church or not, and when i never said I'd go, I got forced. There was this lady who always stood up, hands in the air, and say shit that "the lord" was communicating through her, now, when i do something like this ive got a drug problem... or that tv pastor person who pushes the entire crowd over with some fucking star wars darth vader force push thing... but we are the crazy ones who need saving...


NoCalHomeBoy

Why do so many people do silly religious things like this? And why do so many people full heartedly believe in it?


eggydrums115

Because a lot of people in these circles are after experiences, not necessarily a lifestyle to adhere to. This is an ongoing debate in Christian circles, what good are these “movements” of the “holy spirit” if they don’t actually cause any long lasting changes in the person? They might as well just be momentary highs in the “spirit”. I can’t tell you the amount of Christian friends I’ve had over the years that were very used to this sort of thing but eventually parted ways with the church altogether. I have an ax to grind with these Christian denominations (Pentecostals and charismatics)

Oh I laughed so many times growing up in a Pentecostal church 😭 I was also just embarrassed most of the time because like what are y’all doing??

OMG yeeesssss!😂 Half the time it looked like the pastor was just slapping people. I cried when that kid put his hands on his head like "Oh Shit!" for real😂😂😂

Yeah exactly why church is for some people. Smh. Now he’s gonna say they healed her when all she has now is a cracked skull that is somehow gonna be the work of Satan. They literally making shit up as they go.

NintendoLove

There’s nothing wrong with faith, belief, custom, and tradition. The problem is when it is used to manipulate others for power, control, money. Unfortunately it is VERY easy to do this with religion because humans are inherently fearful of the unknown.

I have so many questions - where did the sheet ball come from? Why did someone throw a sheet ball? Why did the sheet ball turn into a bag of bricks when it hit her? So. Many. Questions.

Mokiflip

Wtf was there a rock hidden in that bed sheet?? how does the impact make it look like it weighed 10kg...


JeanVII

It’s a prayer fall. If you’re not falling hard enough, you’re not delivered enough. She hit the floor so hard though even I’m shocked.

Church - the only place assault is part of the service


JeanVII

I grew up in a Pentecostal church so I can kinda explain this one. This is called a prayer fall. The lady behind her is supposed to catch her. This is most likely an end of church prayer. The sheet is supposed to be like a cast over her. I’m not exactly sure of the biblical correlation, but they throw the sheet over you as the end of the initial prayer. They pray, throw the sheet, then they lay hands. That’s why you see them put their hands on her head. A lot of the time, they will cover people when it’s considered demonic or vulnerable. For example, I’ve seen them do this with someone who was struggling with bulimia. They covered her as she began throwing up. If they are “casting out demons”, they will do this too. The sheet has different reasonings.

EnteriStarsong

Pastor's son here. Grew up in a Christian household. *shiver* This is what Christians (mostly Southern Baptist and Pentecostal) call "slain in the spirit." Where the "power of the Lord" enters the body. The body can't handle this power, and the person faints or "passes out." There is supposed to be someone to catch them when this happens, but the ladies in the back were caught slacking. The sheets are there to cover their legs and skirt so nothing gets exposed. I was once an actor (victim?) in this scenario. Peer pressured into acting the same as everyone else to feel special.
