Looks interesting, I'll watch it tomorrow. Reminds me of a phenomenon that hit various churches back in '94: the Toronto Blessing was hailed as a huge revival but it was just mass hysteria. People started laughing uncontrollably to the point of distress, others screamed and some seemed to have epileptic fits of some kind. I watched in fascinated horror as people I thought sensible, discerning and mature fell under this spell. In my area it all began with a guy vaxing lyrical, then he blew on the people and hysteria broke out. I got thrown out for challenging and questioning it, haven't been back to a "church" since. Weird dynamics operate in crowds, you can see it in nazi films too

P.S. This died down after a lot of criticism and the fact that it originated with TV $$$ "evangelists". It re-surfaced as The Alpha Course and vent viral. Interesting.
