I replied before reading the entire thread. I've yet to see a case where in a church there was an interpreter nearby that could translate. Oh, I've seen cases where they say there is an interpreter. But even here abbabbabaloo can easily mean many different things in the same session. I am not saying it is not real for some, bu the vast majority seems to be aimed more at self-aggrandizement than in truly praising God.

I've persistently observed that

SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT

is a plague on all denominatons, and sometimes seemingly all congregations

of every stripe.
