The ceremony is so ridiculous, but it sounds like the boy was quite an enthusiastic participant what with all the writhing and vomiting and whatnot. The whole thing is so bizarre.

I'm starting a church where we just slap the straight out of you.

I've seen this story on another site today and it reads as though the young man concerned was a troubled and confused individual, with many different and conflicting issues in his life.
What isn't clear from that video is just how much of what happenned was the "spiritual manifestation" claimed, and how much of it was engineered by the church leaders.
The devil made him do "it".
Whoever edited that article should be exorcised.
"DEMON TYPOS!"

I'm so glad this happened in Connecticut and not the South. I get so tired of South-bashing comments on this board.
