Fun other story I think you all can appreciate, which might not go over the best with some of my co-religionists. It's not exactly mainstream, but there is a charismatic movement inside of the Catholic Church, a lot like the Pentecostalism that's in a lot of "non-denominational" churches these days. Some friends convinced me to go with them to a Night of Worship in grad school and be prayed over by this Franciscan priest with terribly bad breath. Every person in front of me in the line had fallen backwards into the arms of the "catchers" after being prayed over due to being 'slain in the Spirit' if my terminology is correct, so it was a bit nerve wracking. My turn arrives, the priest raises his hand to my forehead and prays, and says Amen. I stand there, he stands there, after a few seconds I go, "So...now what Father? Do I go back to my pew and pray?" He decided I should, and seemed a bit upset, he'd never had someone fail to fall backwards before like that. Got stares all the way back to the pew too.
*applause* Glad you stood your ground. Do I know you by any other name? I spend a little time over at TTA.
Thanks
And nope, it would just be this name over there for about a year or so. It wasn't as much standing my ground though as "Okay, not feeling anything but awkward now..."(May 10, 2017 at 3:15 pm)Fireball Wrote: Welcome!
