You would think it would deserve at least some mention. Especially since when this subject came up back on NFCF many old time Pentecotals made it clear they believe you MUST shockamoo (shout) with abandon to be right with God.

The power and presence of God moving in and on people causes reaction of some sort. People respond in different ways to that but there's no doubt that some of how people respond and react and 'worship' is learned to an extent. In many cases, they see what's going on around them and copy that ---- to an extent anyhow.

If they've been in an environment when the response to being laid hands on is to "fall out" then they think this is what they're supposed to do and that's what happens. Not always of course but 'example' is a powerful thing.

True. I find this very disturbing, and causes me to question more things in "my world" and less things in the world I am not familiar with.

Isn't that what "shockamoo" is? A learned response to bumped up music.
