As for the "dialogue" on this thread; there are always supporters and dissenters in every conversation. It's fair to assume that things are presented for discussion, but it's not fair to assume that Renda posted the videos for the express purpose of making fun of Pentecostal worship. |
Not necessarily making fun of it, but I'll let these two posts speak for themselves.

Do we really believe this is how the NT Church worshiped? Or is this a cultural construct? |

The people in the upper room appeared to be "drunk" and so we don't really know what all they were actually doing, aside from speaking in tongues. I'm simply not going to interfere, in any way, with someone's expression toward God, unless they are harming themselves or the congregation. AND I am not going to post videos or comment in a way that makes it look as though I am judge and jury on it.

That would be a "how"; not a "because."  And yes, there have been times when I have been on the organ and had to stare a hole in the wall to keep from busting a gut. Apparently that's because I'm carnal.
PEOPLE are funny, and I refuse to believe that God lacks a sense of humor. In fact, I have a feeling that a lot of stuff that goes on in church makes HIM laugh--probably with sheer enjoyment.

In the eighties we were having a service on Sunday night a lot of joy, & jumping around & there was a guy there who, how can say it delicately,
had a few fries short of a happy meal.
His worship was attracting attention, but we let him join in--not hurting anyone.
My Pastor walked over to the Organist who was not married & whispered "He's single."
She just about lost it.
Yup, sense of humour God has for sure.

Ron seemed to understand. We both shared stories of things we remembered.
No hidden agenda.
As for my answers to Deacon, yes, I think they are cultural - especially the one of the Mother of the church.

You talk about it as much as you do the hair fanciers, so I only assume it bugs you.

That's a really delicate situation when you are having to sit them down and talk about it. You can either encourage them or crush them.

Apparently, I bug you, so I'll bow out for now.
