Yeah, ion really like the new suicideboys tho but obviously I love "were better in 2015" cuz it's true and they're rappin like they're real selves but even better and the video had crazy shit in it too with snakes lol
My dad had this on VHS when I was a kid and told me that the guy clapping at 10:36 is my grandfather. He died before I was born so I never knew him. He was too poor to own any home movie equipment, so this is the only video recording of him that exists. Thank you for archiving this film! I was worried that it may be lost to time.
Also, I'm not sure why they keep saying this is in Louisville, KY. It's actually in Harlan County, KY. Louisville is northwest and Harlan is southeast, so it's literally on the opposite end of the state as Louisville.
@keith moore Home brew is legal. There's shops that sell all the equipment and instructions. But a good old copper still with tubing and a fire underneath ain't something you wanna get caught with anywhere near your property. It's all about collecting taxes my friend.
Excellant video........way back my sunday school group went to all the various churches in our community.....to witness their activity here in the Ozarks....needless to say their are a variety of traditions of men practiced around the world......Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
He said he wouldn't speak against their religion. However he didn't do anything but mock and talk down about them. And ninty nine percent of what he said was untrue.he clearly did not have a clue what he was seeing nor have any understanding of it.
I'd love to see what the meeting sounds like if there's footage with audio from there. And what is up with few comments complaining about the commentary?
This video is excellent as to the video portion BUT you have not captured any of the audio that occurred at this meeting. You have to HEAR what is being said in order to fully understand the experience being felt by those in attendance. Your overlay by the running commentary is good but it can never make up for the loss of hearing the actual sounds of the scene. You try to describe the activity leading UP to the point of the snake handling and say rather lamely that it is an "emotional" preparation for the main event. What actually is occurring is FAR beyond your description; this period of intense singing, hand clapping, dancing around, speaking in tongues, etc. is producing a hypnotic trance state in those who are involved in this part of the service. Why is this important? It is VERY important in the following way: from experience, these people KNOW that an altered state of consciousness MUST be attained before any would dare pick up a snake. Of course, they do not use those terms.....rather, they say the holy ghost (Spirit of God) has come upon them. They also know that anyone who has not done this preparation is NOT protected from being bitten by the snake. At this point in time, psychology cannot explain why this altered state of consciousness would be protection from being bitten even though studies have been done along these lines.
He keeps talking about the "frenzied hysteria" when they take the snakes out of the back of the station wagon. Those fellows looked pretty matter-of-fact to me.
For the record the man that was being led out from the snake bite didn’t die then he lived until around ten years ago n he died of natural causes not a snake bite I knew him well n his family
Christians who handle venomous snakes are incorrect in their interpretation of Mark 16:18. That verse does not command or suggest that we literally handle venomous snakes! It is a metaphor of God's divine protection in the context of danger. These snake handling Christians are wrong and do not understand exegesis or God's word.
@@toddmiller5884 I am embarrassed for what I wrote what I did and I am going to change my comment . Jesus did not end what God created Jesus ended sin not evil in his short work on the earth. The greatest evil lie taught for the last 2000 years is that sin exists. Good and evil still exist. Putin is a water baptised Christian and the most evil man on earth but he believes all man is born sinful . Maybe James was a homosexual God does not care one way or the other He judges the heart not what we have done in the wicked flesh because only he is able to judge that
If they handled a Cobra, they would be dead within an hour, easily. However:If they tried that with a Black Mamba, they'd probably be dead, in between 5-15 minutes..... If they lived that long! The Crate Snake is a super-venomous Viper, for which there is no anti-venom. People may have up to a day to live, if envenomated by one of these deadly buggers. That's one full day, to make everything right, between you and God! After that, from what I hear-NOPE! You're done for.
Interesting to me how many people feel like they need to judge here. California judge declared bees to be fish, and grown men are allowed to compete swimming with girls, but these folks need to be judged and called crazy!
The video footage is enjoyable to watch but the commentary is hard to listen to. It’s like this guy is pushing his own propaganda with how he’s describing these people & their beliefs saying they aren’t in their right mind. Says who? I’d say what he calls a trance is more being drunk in the Holy Spirit. It’s hard for me to listen to this commentary & I ain’t even half way thru yet. His opinions are attacking others opinions. “And we promised that we wouldn’t say anything against their religion, WHICH WE WILL NOT Do” yet the entire commentary is propaganda against their religious beliefs. No, you’re wrong mr commentator. They don’t believe the snakes won’t bite them, they fully know they may get bitten. However if they do, they see that as Gods will & refuse medical treatment because God will either heal them or call them home. Ugh. So frustrating.
A guy walks into his psychiatrist wearing nothing but plastic wrap and the Dr says "I can clearly see your nuts" IF God is real he no doubt gets a kick outta people like this, like you. If you'll recall God never wrote any magic books .... only men claiming to speak for "him". Now I've personally sought out the voice of God for my entire life and never heard so much as a peep and yet these MEN had such the conversation to fill not only THAT book but the loads and loads of chapters they rejected....ya know, like the ones that clearly shown J.C. to be simply a man like you or I. Why should Jesus die for my sins? I'll eventually do that for myself....or die in spite of them. Valor Margulies, ALL men must DIE. I'm certain you're being "drunk in the holy spirit" as simply being caught up in the hysteria of your service. Music can do much more than your Savior can.....organs are called organs because of their healing properties as in internal organs. Praise be!!!
At least one of those people died from snake venom. Being "drunk in the Holy Spirit" sounds a lot like not being in the right mind. I don't know how anyone can look at these people and not agree they've lost their bearings. Feel bad for the kids, I hope they had a chance to experience other forms of faith and cultures.
You could say that it's a type of a Death Cult! The followers of this Cult themselves, don't know if they're going to leave their Cult Center alive! I know that we're all mortal, and that we could end up on a Mortician's Slab, before the day is out. Death could come for us this very afternoon. Only God knows our time. However, these people seem to either want to prove their "Faith" to God...or, maybe in some cases, they just want to "Speed up the time of their demise!!!
Born in sin? Come on in. Born in vice? Say it twice. At least twice! How many times have you said, whether to others, or to yourself, that this is not a Cult, when you can see with your own eyes, as to what these Spiritual Predators are doing, in leading other precious, but impressionable people, to cast away their confidence in what The Bible truly tells us about "Not tempting the Lord your God", and, instead, listening to people who have twisted what God's word says, into something like this-Which is so demonic, that thousands of people have been drawn into following...and many people have died as a direct result of disobedience to the Word of God! When Jesus said what he did about taking up Serpents, he wasn't talking about handling deadly vipers on purpose. No. Rather, he was talking about taking on the power of the Devil, and defeating it, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Same thing with Fire-Handling and Poison Drinking. He wasn't telling you and I to do that stuff on purpose. He was telling us, that if we were accidentally burned or ingested something poisonous unintentionally, that we wouldn't be harmed. I'm quite sure I'll face opposition on this, but I can afford to be narrow-minded. That's because I'm right!
Mmhmm... totally Satanic! Satan has many ways to get people to rebel against God, die lost in their sins, and, while their bodies are interred into the Earth, their Eternal Soul is, unfortunately, forevermore lost!
@@apachepilot81Ok... that's a fair question. Scripture itself is not Satanic. However, when a person with an unstable mind Wrests (Twists) the Scriptures, that perversion of the Scriptures is what is Satanic.
@ronaldshank7589 I agree but for all the venomous snake handling, strychnine drinking and holding blowtorch flames to themselves, the casualty and fatality rate amongst them is way, way lower than what it should be. Yes, what they are doing is folly and a gross misapplication of Mark 16:17-18 but no doubt that supernatural protection to a large extent is brought to bear. It could be argued that this is the work of deceiving spirits but I would attribute it more to God's Providential preservation in response to the sincere faith of these Hillbilly folk. They are of the same Scots-Irish blood as myself and I dig big style the music in their services. That is a wider Appalachian cultural thing all the same and by no means peculiar to nor the preserve of the pentecostal snake handlers. Yes, I do cut them a lot of slack I suppose.
