i thought this was interesting only for the scene at 2:04 because i know that guy is a famous preacher, and it sounded like he said something about titties and bunghole....not sure though heh.
This is the first time I ever heard of Kundalini. I watched both videos. I am an Appalachian American (the politically correct term for hillbilly), and when I was very small, I was taken to the Holiness Church where people appeared to me to be out of control for hours on end. Both of my grandfathers were country preachers (hey, beats coal mining, and is legal, unlike moonshining). The people I knew back then were uneducated, simple, pure and sincere. They were true believers who "got the Holy Ghost" at church and gyrated, jumped around and shouted. I am grateful that there was no snake handling in the churches I had to attend.
In college, I took a cours in Introduction to the Study of Religion. In one class session, we watched a video of a woman in an Eastern country doing some sort of dance as a result of being "possessed by a spirit" of some kind. I told the professor that it reminded me of a Pentecostal religious expression. He agreed. In the video, it stated that the woman lived "in the middle of the country" wherever she lived. The point was made that people who are inclined to this type of religious expression are those who have little or no contact with other cultures. This was certainly the case where we lived when I was a single-digit child.
If the guy in the video thinks all of this jerking and shaking is something new, he is wrong. The rest of the world is simply finally catching up with us hillbillies! In fact, I read an interview with Tina Fey in which she was asked her family's favorite meal She said white beans with rosemary and cornbread. Beans and cornbread! We hillbillies were so ahead of our time!
You 'uns needs to know that I didn't always talk proper and so on 'til I moved to the big city and got tired of them a callin' me a "hick" and a "briar" an' throwin' off on me all the time.

If it makes you feel any better mum, because of this jw religion, i ended up doing some bizarre stuff, and actually temporarily moved out to a rural area for a time where i basically had to eat a shit sandwhich on a daily basis. the people nearly assembled the pitch forks and came to have me lynched. my designer suits, flashy hair and educated speak were an annoyance, but once a few jealous folk got to starting rumors about me, telling people that i thought that i was better than everyone else and all this(and telling them that is how i talked in private), it was over. it was another nail in the coffin for my jw career as well because the folks who started the rumors were supposedly my brothers and sisters haha. little did i know, but now i do. so much for "i can go anywhere in the world because i am a jw"
The "image is everything" philosophy of the WT won't do anything but cause trouble for you in some cultures. You got an education, didn't you? It's okay, I suppose, as long as you got it outside of a classroom.
