lauriellen:
same experience for me as well. :-\

microlink:
Me too. Exactly the same feeling.

Dennis Vogel:
In church they start out with fast music and work down to slow, emotional music designed to put you in an emotional mood.

People confuse the emotion with God's spirit. I've been emotional after good movies but I know it was the movie manipulating me and not something supernatural.

You go into a movie theater expecting to be manipulated, but in church I think people coat-check their common sense and surrender to the powers that be.

Rhys 🕊:
I use to be worship leader in church and that's what we did with the fast songs first and it was very emotional but I did experience close times with God in the worship part that seemed very true to me. I felt though I was the only one getting to that place while every one else was waiting for the music to finished because they had enough of the music now. I had enough of it after a while as felt I was there to get closer to God at least in my thinking then and they were there to play church - keep out of hell stuff. I felt sometimes like my heart was in it but there's wasn't. It's like they are there for different reasons than I am there for so felt at odds with it all.

I far prefer know the truth that Ray mentioned because that brings me to a place of true worship which goes from deep inside to out instead of the emotional outside to in music which just entertains the senses and doesn't bring the true change unless you accept His truth.
