No. To me it looks no different than girls who fainted during Beatles concerts or when Elvis tossed his sweat towel at them.

Well, I know there are many differing opinions on the whole pentecostal thing. You know speaking in tongues, being slain in the spirit and all that but I'm still trying to figure out or I guess understand and discern what's on the up an up and what's not. Guess you could say I'm skeptical because I wasn't brought up Pentecostal, but for the last 7 years that's the type of Church my wife and I have been attending and became members of. She was raised Pentecostal. Now I know that when you see the TV evangelists "doing their thing" it all seems hokie pokie but when you actually attend a Church, like this, and get to know the people you realize that the folks that attend are genuine and true. Our Church is not overboard and actually the worship is fantastic. My wife says for a Pentacostal Church they're rather quite conservative compared to how she was raised. Well without continuing to ramble, I definitely felt God's power and presence at our past Sunday's evening service. Many were "slain in the spirit" that night(only time in 7 yrs I had seen this at this Church) and I believe I would have been also had I just let my self go but I resisted. It was a good experience to say the least. Sounds crazy huh?

I've never been in a church where that happened, so my only exposure to it has been through televangelists who seem to be fattening their bank accounts and nothing else.
