Trike Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 At my old church you weren't truly saved unless you spoke in tongues. So each day after youth group/sunday service I'd have people pray over me to "recieve the holy spirit." But after a 3 1/2 hour long service, I was really hungry, so I'd end up faking it just to get out of there. Then I'd feel guilty so I'd go back for prayer next week. I was told that I had to clear my mind and turn off my brain and I thought that that advice was rather funny because I had heard sermons in the past where the practice of Eastern Meditation was frowned upon b/c clearing you mind was bad... I can still turn it on when I want to, although I am falling out of practice b/c I am loathe to do it nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyMoon Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 As a young girl I always wanted to speak in toungues, 1) Because I always heard that speaking in toungues was a sign that you were filled with the spirit 2) Because my two older sisters did it and so did my parents, and I longed to be like them 3) Because thats all people ever seemed to do in prayer meetings... was scream unintelligible languages. So I 'sought god' for it, and nothing happened, so I resorted to mimicking my sisters lol which actually worked. Eventually I was able to do it, and I can only just do it now although I've basically forgotten how to do it I've always wondered whether or not it is a specific ability some people have, and others lack, and just the mere fact that I had to mimick my sisters to do it, and now I can't do it, to me is proof of that. I hate it how speaking in toungues is such a controversial subject... obviously xtians can't agree on it, such as the Open Brethrens here who say that if you speak in toungues you are of the devil, and my church (pentecostal/evangelical/charismatic) who say that it is a compulsory thing that you MUST do if you claim you are filled with the spirit. In my opinion its absurd, because even strangers can copy it if they want. Therefore it is something some people can do and others can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 IMO it's a combination of creativity and the innate human ability to create patterns out of nothing. Some people use these abilities to write symphonies. Others roll around on the church floor and gargle in their "prayer language." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michie_s Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 My sister sent me this the other day! I thought it was hilarious and scary at the same time. That could have been me just a scant 2.5 years ago! Damn I think she's serious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Doll Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Mother Knowledge? Ugh! She's one of those who is just so full of herself and everyone in church seems to think is the cat's ass. OMG those types of people drive me crazy. I never could speak in tongues. It was just another one of those things that made me feel inferior to everyone else. >sigh< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
