I was swept up into the Jesus Freak Movement in Santa Ana, Orange County early 70's. Lots of burned out hippies were. Calvary Chapel, ruled by Chuck Smith in Costa Mesa, had a huge tent cult attended by thousands while their church was being built. Bible studies 7 days a week, all day. I lived in a Christian commune there. At the same time the New Age Guru Movement from India was infiltrating West Coast. One group called The Family, ruled by The Father, opened the first health food store and restaurant in LA. They fled to Hawai'i in the 80's and I knew them through their health food store in Kailua. There were also maniacs like chain smoking Jane Roberts who "channeled" an ancient entity named Seth and wrote many New Age books about IT. Pentecostal Movement in Detroit began with POC and little old Puerto Rican ladies dancing in the spirit. When the Charismatic Movement exploded in some Catholic Churches, I found it odd. I went to parochial schools most of my life. Mass every day. Catechism, Holy Communion (married to christ). The works! Could not read the bible. Priests job. Certainly couldn't prophesize. Blasphemy. So their embrace of singing in the spirit, laying on of hands and speaking in tongues was condemned by most back then. So here we are fifty years later. Fkn terrifying nut Jobs in our highest courts. I hate all religions. All of them
