Crazy right, how they all look like cousins? Even crazier, I just watched another piece on serpent handling in West Virginia. That other video is 13 years old so a good 20 years newer than this one. Yet the people in that video look exactly like those people here, same style of clothing, same narrow eyes and weird faces. This seems to attract a very special kind of folks.
@@GarfuckI have ex family in this crap, so it's not new to me! North Alabama! You will only see this in backwoods, country, uneducated people. And yes, they all dress the same. Women, long hair and dresses. I almost had a fucking heart attack the first time I went to one!
My buddy told me his uncle took him to a serpent handling church he said during praise and worship a guy walked in with a pillow case full of rattlesnakes and dumped them out in the middle of the floor he said the snakes were a rattling and very alive then a bunch of people surrounded the snakes and stretched thier hands towards them praying in tongues he said the snakes got real calm and kinda went limp he said then they reached down and took em up and started praising the Lord!
Many of those snakes have been milked and pacified. Many will not bite. Some will, but inject very little if any toxin. I dare anyone to conduct a toxicology extraction in a controlled surroundings. They will not let you. I don’t care what they say. They are mostly fake. The whole thing is a sham.
"Reality is what you can get away with" A magician never reveal his/her con or tricks. But for year voodoo folks been doing sh*t like this and Christian call it devil worship.....I'm skeptical person I know it tricks and con out here.
Are you deaf , dumb or both?? The literally took a sample a had it tested . Not only was it strychnine, it was 100% concentration. So say what you want.. I think they are lunatics.. but every one of them you seen drink out that jar, drank enough strychnine to kill then
...and nobody can blame those Snakes, when they defend themselves! I'd never go to Church at a Church like this, and I CERTAINLY wouldn't handle Snakes or handle fire, and I surely wouldn't drink any Strychnine, either!
That one guy was holding 4 timber rattlesnakes.. which among herpetologist , are known to have one of the nastiest temperaments of all vipers.. a gaboon would actually be less likely to strike, because they rely solely upon vision.....
Timbers are actually really shy compared to Eastern Diamondbacks. Gaboons are very placid but they will explode on you. Puff Adders will fucking nail you so fast. Saw Scaled Vipers and Russell’s Vipers and anything from the Bothrops family (Fer de Lance) have the biggest temper out of any snake in the world. Everyone in that room would be dead or amputated
I guess I’m softer on them than most. If they want to do it, and aren’t forcing it on anybody else, then good for them. The ones I don’t like think everybody else has to bend over to them and take it. These people do their thing and don’t bother anybody
Except for the snakes, it looks just like the churches I grew up in. It's just traditional backwoods mountain church. It's not the devil. But I don't hold with snake handling. Because: "Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”"
I pick snakes up all time while hunting not in a church. It don't mean what you ppl are reading. That was meant for the ppl taking the gospel of Jesus to other city's they only had paths in some parts to walk thru. God covered em to not be hurt to remove outta the way. And ppl may try in poison em. Same thing god protect them. Not talking bout taking snakes into a house of god. I don't see him giving these ppl a couple sign not the laying on m being healed when I see y'all heal 4 stage cancer I'll believe
I’ve been looking for this for years but couldn’t remember the name of the show. Found the show (different episode) on an old VHS tape and now here I am. Good laughs!
Just read about this in the book 'You Are The Placebo,' by Joe Dispenza. Recommended. IMHO, this is where we should be looking regarding seemingly incurable diseases.
One fucking line by a guy they would have called a terrorist if they saw the person who wrote it on the street in 2022. That's how powerful words are. One goddamn sentence caused people thousands of years later to be crazy as fuck and put themselves in danger lmao
So it's some sort of spirital posturing? Look at me I'm so godly that I can hold a snake and drink poison and hold fire? Sounds like ego and boastfulness. More Mental illness than holiness.
Joe Massey...Yes, Well said. The Lord would be shaking His head and saying what fools I did make. Everything is s simple and clear and yet these fools make everything difficult for themselves.
Pentecostal has been one of my least favorite denominations, not the people, but the theological lense that they seem to use where their faith, is in the faith for their benefit and what not, and I've had some strong feelings for a while.. but watching this, it is definitely a different technique to handling scripture than what I personally believe in.. that said, im kinda shocked with this video, I don't believe in putting God to the test, but if dude was really bit as he had claimed, and the poison also turned out to be what they claimed it was, then Glory to God, ill continue on my marathon of faith, but ive got a new look, distanced from my harsher veiw before, their ways are different from mine, but these people heart is for the Lord, and the faith in the word is quite remarkable to say the least. Good on them. And glory to God.
It also says dont put God to the test. Youre fucking with the jenga tower of fate, because its only a matter of time. You'll get that one pissed off rattler that won't stand for your shit and will end up emptying its venom glands into you.
Im from southern kentucky. Ive been to these churches and they are scared to death of these snakes. Notice they always watch them. They play a dangerous game that i think god would strike them for doing
I am as skeptical as they come and there's no way I'm taking up for them in any way BUT... credit must be given to them for having that faith. How many people that I know (including "preachers") are willing to place their lives on the line every time they go to "worship" service? Zero. Respect to them for the love they have for God and the teachings of the "King James Version" of the Bible. Respect to them. But it wouldn't be a terrible waste of time to look at King James life for a minute. Damnation. Whew!
It is true that God will protect us from harm , from accidental snake bites, and accidentally drinking a poison . But I would not think the Lord would want us to do it on purpose. I speak in tongues, cast out devils, pray for healings, dance and shout and love the Lord. I believe these people are being protected by God . Perhaps they are building up their faith, but I would never practice the drinking of poison or handling of snakes.
These people are clearly misinterpreting the bible, but God still is evidently protecting them from their ignorance. Praise Jesus. They mean well, those poor folk.
Science matters a little bit more. Those clowns just know that snakes venom volume is not endless. After few injections snake need two days to restore venom... Got it?
It feels like T.V. in the late 70s to late eighties, when AWHORICA OF BABYLON not America revelations 18 was still, ,NOT fallen, or something like that?
Ppl it’s not talking bout picking em up. That meant back in Bible days. There wasn’t roads they had paths to walk on while going to preach the gospel. To pick em up outta the way. And ppl that try in poison em the poison won’t hurt em. Y’all gotta lot to learn bout the word of God

Fun fact the dentist in this particular town died from a venomous snake bite....
Or brain cells in his head!
All I know is if I was a snake I’d be biting every MF around 😂
Too funny, can't stop laughing. LMAO

The snakes aren't biting them because they are watching these guys and trying to figure out what is happening.
I was thinking this, their sense might be overwhelmed.

They would if they had a chance to.
If it's not instantly lethal, ppl can build immunity to the venom over time.
I don't have to prove my faith by handling a rattlesnake, my God gave me the knowledge that they are deadly and to leave them be
