An accurate approach to this would be to do a follow up on everyone who spoke with tongues, but don't count on that as the final numbers would discourage and totally debunk the initial report.
To be honest, our methods have turned into madness. It's become a numbers game, with money and people. We glorify the biggest giver and we praise the biggest Church, and this is madness. I hate to rain on this parade, but our claim of loving truth is overcome by the veil of hype.

You know, I don't disagree with a lot of what you are saying here, I am dismayed with a lot of the hype as well. And I appreciate the spirit you are saying it in. I wish that it could be discussed with this level of civility always.
But I am having a huge issue with the Christianity I see coming from both sides of the issue, it is seriously flawed. The disgust and animosity I see from those still in the "boat" is mirrored by the disgust and animosity I see by those who have left the "boat." And neither side compels me to want any of it.
