Ever wonder what the Salem witch trials must have looked like when the young girls went into mass hysterics? Screaming and tumbling and being fed upon by invisible black “witch birds?”
Or what Bedlam might have sounded like when the lunatics were hosed down for the entertainment of guided tours?
Behold our evangelical brothers and sisters in the grip of something called “Holy Laughter,” led by Reverend Kenneth “Papa” Hagen.

I just wonder what was so fucking funny! Certainly nothing in their doctrine.
What in hells name…?! This is utterly creepy! Maybe the spanish inquisition should be revived!
Looks like alot of Hocus Pocus to me!
More disturbing than funny. A cackling old geezer putting a bunch of evangelicals under his spell. Scary stuff indeed!
There’s a lot of writings about crowd control… working the crowd into mass hysteria… Hitler used it.. I suspect these guys know a thing or two about it too.
Well as the old adage states;
Ignorance is bliss.
To paraphrase the immortal words of a former Fisrt Lady: When someone asks you to join a church….JUST SAY NO to religion.
Amen!
“And then they lined up and drank the Kool-Aid, one by one, and blessed the men that had turned their M-16’s on them …”

wow…I guess when Gay Men laugh, it’s the devil making us do it…
What a bunch of creepy people. No wonder Sunday is the best day to go out and party - all these freaks are in church laughing and passing out.
I have goosebumps from being so wigged out. *gritting teeth*
And at the end, with all that cooing? That’s surely going to come back in a nightmare or two.
WOW!!
this is very disturbing. it does seem similar to hitler-like mind -control. working people up with the control of all their emotional networks is genuinely frightening!!!
This is disturbing! What in hell is going on? Does he only have to say boo and they start hysterically laughing? What happens if he has them kill each other?
the section he was working all had reserved signs on the backs of the seats — they must go on tour together. I think I saw them at ‘the Jim Rose’ travling show in ‘92.
So now we know what the fundies do in place of sex
How many of them wet themselves, do ya thing?
Whatever they say, I still call it demon possession and they’re laughing but do not know that the joke’s on them.
mwahahahhahahahaha! (Evil-maniacal laughter)
be afraid…..be very afraid…shivers
Darlings, please stop. You’re scaring the homosexuals.
This pastor guy reminds me of a “shaman” of sorts, I can see much simularity in the Christian cultures and many so called “primitive” cultures.
Also the state of mind these Creationists have is very similar to that of someone with Paranoid Personality Disorder.
If I’m not mistaken its with this disorder that someone thinks theirs some conspiracy against them, and everything revolves around them (Congruent with the Greco Roman origins of the western mind state) Oh of course the universe revolves around man, and there is some grand scheme that involves nothing less than the very creator of the universe (in human form of course) and we are all so very special and play a pivotal role in the battle between good and evil.
This fairy tale thinking is just like a mind disorder, I think sane people ask “where does it all come from?” but instead of looking for a logical explanation they fall into a creationist cult and end up afflicted with this mass mental disorder.
