KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A man said he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while at a Knoxville church.
He said he has fallen from the force of the spirit before but has always been caught by someone.
Could be signs of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. In which case it is his own fault (especially if he didn't take his meds).
Maybe he did not know it if he had Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.
I think that a church who routinely encourages members of its congregation to fall out in the floor must share some culpability.
My aunt's church was like that when I was a child with lots of people convulsing on the floor and "speaking in tongues" and it was all pretty scary to me.
