I've fallen over before at a worship meeting. For me, I fell because I thought it was what I was meant to do to experience God. Shortly after I realised I had done it to myself. I expect some people don't have such thoughts when they fall though. I think it can easily be a psychological thing, of being made to expect something to happen, or responding to authority (like hypnosis perhaps), worship or a good preach could perhaps bring people to such a state of mind.
I've also gotten that shaking feelings before, and a hot rush, when I've been prayed for, or when I was praying for someone. Again, probably due to expectations, the way prays are said, or the frame of mind you get into when open to prayer. Right now I can replicate the shaking feeling by choice.
My Christian counselor used to have cancer spots, but when he was at a Benny Hinn crusade in my country, he was healed, and he sat at the back and wasn't touched by Benny Hinn then (if he ever even were). However, it's not about Benny Hinn, but God is the healer.
cool story bro
When I came to Jesus Christ, I was healed from anxiety, fear of darkness (I used to have the light on while sleeping, sometimes even TV too) and sleep disorder (used to take medication for sleeping issues).
I also believe I was healed from Asperger's syndrome.
My mum also told me the doctors didn't find these genes in me anymore when they took blood samples or such.

How all the people fell down when the priest shouted? Do u think it was a set up?
That's nice. Still anecdata.
How is it that? It can be confirmed by my own transformation and experience.
What are some tips u guys have for being happy as an atheist?
Do u believe in fate?

Damn... I had same things happen....
Been watching more videos on YouTube how science has no evidence for chi and over the years science has disproven many claims made my religion
So it is all bull crap!!!! We should just die then cuz everything sucks and there's no hope for a better life
I changed my icon to atheist. I feel like a poser though cuz all atheists I see online are super educated and half the words they use I have no idea what they mean. I'm on mental disability for my illness and I feel like ten times a loser now cuz at least as a christian I thought my life had meaning, but now I'm just useless

Obviously the preacher in the first video was born with the soul of a dragon. Didn't you listen to the audio?
Good contribution, Para.
You've reminded me of something I read in John W. Loftus' unfortunately-titled anthology The Christian Delusion, which can be found on huffpo.
Valerie Tarico: Christian Belief Through the Lens of Cognitive Science: Part 4 of 6
In short, it talks about conversion experiences from the point of view of cognitive science. My own £0.01 on the issue would be that since entering therapy myself I've experienced essentially the same "religious experiences" I had in church, but this time (having been an atheist for a couple of years now) I was definitely not praying to anyone. Instead, I was intentionally trying to access repressed emotions - I think instead the language and atmosphere of church occasionally triggered those and correlation/causation fallacy took care of the rest.
It scarcely seems implausible to me that a church setting would provoke this too, religions thrive because they do touch on emotional needs. It is just unfortunate that so many of them tack a lot of baseless crap onto the process that you're required to believe.

Hey but what about this video where he does miracle healings and everyone cheers for him, can all these people be wrong? Did the lady not really have cancer?

I think the whole front row is in on it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOxVjbGvUpI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Which we do not have access to - and I'm not about to believe something just because someone asserts it happened.
