I saw this at the Touchstone website. Perhaps gym pads, like those used to protect gymnasts in training, should be installed in the front of pentecostal churches. Or at least they should provide strap-on pillows and neck braces.
Mr. Lincoln Injured in the Spirit
Not slain, just injured, and now the church must pay, or so says Matthew Lincoln, 58, of the Knoxville, Tennessee area, who fell and was injured last June during a church service after receiving the Spirit... Since he already suffered from a "degenerative disc disease of his neck and back," Lincoln, a former church board member, contends the fall exacerbated the pre-existing condition and has caused him "severe and permanent" injuries. As a result of the fall, Lincoln, a recording engineer, claims that he is no longer able to care for his disabled daughter. Lincoln alleges that Lakewind and its pastors were "negligent in not supervising the catchers to be sure that they stood behind the person being prayed for...
He knew he might fall, since this was not the first time. But he didn't make sure a catcher was right there. So he wants $2.5 million to soften the blow.
