HoustonHorn Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Religious leaders trained to deal with metal health crises http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news...29training.html Looks like church staff around Austin are being trained in how to handle outbursts by mentally ill people during services. The example they give comes from a video where someone in the pews starts yelling "He doesn't know what he's talking about! He doesn't come from God!" Just to make sure I've got it right. Speaking for God while sitting in the pews means you're mentally ill. Speaking for God while standing on the pulpit makes you a preacher. Sort of makes you wonder where speaking in tongues falls.

My mentally ill mother-in-law pulls that kind of crap in church. And everywhere else for that matter. Speaking for God while sitting in the pews means you're mentally ill. Speaking for God while standing on the pulpit makes you a preacher. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
