This needs to start happening during GC. Church leaders need to be overwhelmed by the spirit and collapse on stage. Since Rusty is hell bent on copying other Christian churches, they need to get with the program.

LOL
I'm picturing conference held Benny Hinn style, where they touch people (to heal them apparently) and they fall over.

I don't know if having a bunch of geriatric GAs collapse on stage is a good idea. They'll break a hip or something. I guess they could heal themselves for show.

Benny Hill style would be my preference

Speaking in tongues or the disjointed babblings of late stage dementia? You decide.

They wanted to try Old Fashioned Tent Revivals but then found out how much it cost to rent a big tent...

If you watch an old Bruce R McConkie video (link below), he didn't have the lugubrious drone that you hear in GC now. McConkie didn't quite have a "tent revival" delivery, but he was close.

He had a touch of tent revival and a touch of Marine drill sergeant.

Bruce has built up a good head of steam at the 28 minute mark.

You do sometimes see them fall over but that is from old age.

There are one or two Biblical references that talk about people falling as dead when confronted by divinity. The soldiers falling as dead before Jesus at his arrest is one. The cynic in me tells me that GAs always have a sense of lifelesness about them when they speak so who would notice. I suspect the poster is referring to more animated responses. Dagny is right in her Benny Hinn reference.
