An excerpt from my brother's facebook page:

In October 2008 I was baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit as it says in the Bible and God gave me evidence of the Holy Spirit because I spoke in tongues. Just like what happened on the day of Pentecost.
Instantly i was healed of alcoholism and severe anger issues. God through the Holy Spirit has blessed my life abundantly and i know as long as i keep letting him direct my life that i'll be there on that last day when he returns

What exactly is speaking in tongues? And why does this stuff from my brother freak me out?

As a kid being raised as a Catholic (before I lapsed) we were taught in school that it meant when the person spoke/preached they could be understood by everyone at once regardless of what their native language is.

I think others believe it is a unique spiritual language spoken by angels etc.

You'll no doubt find a whole heap of theories on it if you Google 'speaking in toungues'...some even more crazy than the above mentioned

Btw are you sure your brother actually wrote that...it could be one of those spam messages that do the rounds.

When I was about 15, my uncle (only a few years older than me) and I - both of us are big Supertramp fans - were at West Lakes Mall, and were handed a brochure inviting us to a "seminar" at a nearby hall a few nights later, showing a movie featuring music by, among other bands, Supertramp. This caught our eye, as the movie summary seemed a little vague, and there was nothing in the brochure to suggest anything untoward, nor who the event was being hosted by.

Turned up that night, and the hall was packed, with a wide range of ages, and people. Took our seat, and the movie beamed up. Within 5 minutes, it was apparent that the movie was not exactly entertainment. It was very much like an advertisement for a particular religious group, with scenes showing people being revived from the dead, rising from wheelchairs and other similar scenes. Many scenes of fires with people emerging, seemingly unharmed, and looking to the skies.

We both cottoned on that this wasn't kosher, but decided to wait until the lights went up. When they did, a gentlemen went to the front and started proclaiming to the crowd, who all started yelling joyously back to him. Then suddenly, the room all started speaking in tongues, which I had NEVER experienced before, and found quite daunting. Next to us, a man threw himself to the ground. In front of us, two ladies fell to the ground, smiling and chanting. This was quite intimidating to both of us, who tried to both keep our composure and not laugh, but also, sidle toward the exits. When we finally did, two large men stood in our way, wanting to know where we were going. We made up a very quick story on the spot, and after looking at each other, they very reluctantly allowed us to leave. BTW, the movie did feature 30 seconds of a little known Supertramp song called "Child of Vision".

A night I will never forget for the sheer oddness of it all, and the sheer sneakiness by which people were attracted into it.

Totally agree Ingall - a face caked with make-up is a bit of a turn-off for me.
