VIDEO: Alaska GOP Senate candidate sings in tongues in a sauna to ‘save’ woman

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/01/22/video-alaska-gop-senate-candidate-sings-in-tongues-in-a-sauna-to-save-woman/

A woman who hopes to be Alaska’s next U.S. senator recently uploaded video of herself speaking in tongues while fully clothed in a steam room.

“I’m at the Alaska Club West and I’m spending a little time in the steam room with Suzie,” Republican candidate Kathleen Tonn said in the video, which was uploaded to YouTube on January 18. “Suzie doesn’t know Jesus Christ as her savior, but ironically she has a pastor/priest who is her neighbor. So, she has allowed me to sing and deliver a message in the Holy Ghost and tongues.”

“One point of clarification: Speaking in tongues or singing in tongues is very valuable because the message cannot be understood by Satan,” she continued. “But the Holy Spirit can use that message to bring deliverance, to bring clarity, to give discernment and words of wisdom and knowledge, and tongues is interpreted by a person who has the gift of interpretation. So I’m going to go fast. ”

She then prayed and spent the next few minutes singing in tongues. After she finished, the woman identified as “Suzie” agreed to say hello to the camera.

oh boy


on edit, I have to disclose that my late mother rest her soul spoke in tongues. It scared the crap out of me every time she did that in church. After she was done some one in the church would stand up and translate what she said. Right then and there in my 8 yoa head I knew this was nuts.

I'm big into respecting everyone's personal choices regarding religion but there are some things that just don't make sense and this video is one of those things.

No doubt she will be an excellent addition to the science comity or even the intelligence comity.
All its going to need is a goodly amount of KochCorprat cash and Budda Bing...........

Her "message to the Holy Ghost" on Suzie's behalf wouldn't have been as rewarding (attention-wise) if it hadn't been captured in its entirety on camera (for who-knows to see).

they would have burned her at the stake not that many centuries ago. My goodness. Is this how she plans to get every voter in her district to support her? Or is it a scam so she can get on disability?

until Amanda Coyne wrote her up in the Alaska Dispatch. Politics in Alaska is never boring.

I think there are a million more mental illnesses that we haven't identified yet.

I'm not sure what this one will be named though.
