My dad’s running on the treadmill outside of my room right now and he’s just yelling in tongues and it’s annoying and creepy.
Wait a second, people actually do this shit? Like, there are people who just babble nonsense syllables because religion or something? Really? In the year 2020 people are out here thinking they “speak in tongues” or whatever? What? My mind is just boggled. This is a thing? How? How is this a thing?
Lol stadium churches don’t got nothing on old southern churches with 15 members. It will literally turn into a mosh pit when the organ gets going.
https://youtu.be/J6LA5d8jq7Q This is what going to church every Sunday till I moved out was like. I felt so out of place cause I just couldn’t get into it.
It’s interesting, the first one seems like an obvious grifter (maybe she believes she’s for real, I don’t know, but it seems super grifty) but the second one seems sincere, and I just don’t know what to make of that. Like, what is her brain doing that it feels to her she’s speaking an angel language or whatever? How are brains so very weird?
That’s weird as fuck, I didn’t know people actually legitimately felt like they could speak in tongues. Thanks for video evidence, I guess. Holy fuck, humans are weird.
I could be out of line, but big televangelist pastors have got to know they’re putting on a show to swoon marks.
In regards to the second video, I believe it’s just faith. She’s probably seen her family members and other churchgoers do it for so long that she’s able to crush down any doubt within herself to do it. My dad will tell me conversations he’s had with God, including God speaking directly to him. He even told me that God revealed to him that his next wife’s name will be Elizabeth, so he knows what to keep an eye out for. He’ll tell me Satan is telling him bad things about himself, but he knows it’s the devil trying to provoke him and sow doubt within his spirit. He doesn’t believe that stuff is his own conscience, it’s God and the Devil talking inside of him.
I took Latin when I attended a Catholic high school for a bit and our teacher was a 70+ super-religious guy and if we ever felt like not learning Latin we’d ask him one of two things:
- Did you hear what Bill O’Reilly said last night? Isn’t he a real patriot?
Or
- Can you pray in tongues for us?
And he’d be off. Usually took him most of the class period.
It’s not common, but this guy was very old school, hence the Latin. I think he dropped out of the seminary prior to Vatican II.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FAT IDIOT”
Lmao. It’s just really weird seeing people in their 50s and 60s speaking gibberish and claiming it’s a divine language that only God and angels can understand. It’s literally just gibberish, it doesn’t make up a coherent language structure.
Every time I hear it I just think it’s a racist imitation of whatever language they think of when they hear the word “Asian”.
They are jealous of jewish people because they know hebrew which is the language of the OG scriptures (¿right?). So instead of learning it, they made up this shit which is totally childish
That’s a good take, lol. I think the biblical origin of tongues had the apostles break out into speaking in existing languages they didn’t previously know. But when modern speaking in tongues started around 1900, it was just converted to babbling the language of angels or something.
Always wanted to confront a dude speaking in tongue and pretend he just said something in coptic or some shit.
Let he who has never been overly confident about their language skills throw the first clay tablet.
1 Corinthians, Chapter 14: 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
given this, why do people do the group tongue speak thing? it seems like the intent is for it to be interpreted?
At the church I was raised at someone would interpret sometimes, as an example the pastor or a choir member would speak in tongues, and maybe the pastor’s wife’s best friend would translate it into english.
