To My DSM Friends: Diagnosis, Please
Thanks to Joey Sweeney for sending me perhaps the weirdest video about depression I’ve ever seen. This young woman claims not to do drugs but merely to be high on Jesus. Without tarring anyone’s religious proclivities, does being high on Jesus make you talk like this and drool on camera? I must include four videos because, as Sweeney says, they’re haunting. Notice that in the third one — after accusations of drug use — she’s quite lucid, not to mention lip-glossed. Then in the fourth, the drool emerges.
And no, don’t get on me for posting these videos. She put herself out there. When people dis my videos on YouTube, I’m okay with that. Fair game. She says there’s no such thing as depression? I think pot does a lousy job controlling Tourette syndrome.

Yes, I agree that those videos were bizarre. She sure does appear to be high on something. As for the “speaking in tongues” perhaps the videos are supposed to be this young woman making a “tongue in cheek” case against religion. When you’re high on whatever it is she is on, the only case she is making is “Just say NO to drugs!”
Wowza. Check out some of her other videos … they are like a PSA for not drinking (or whatever it is she is doing). I would love to know why she feels the need to post these?? There is one of her absolutely stoned in a car in what looks to be a parking lot. Gotta wonder if her parents know about this … and if she is getting any sort of help. The comments on some of the videos are as strange as the vids themselves, too.
Is it my imagination or are the first three videos identical?
Okay, as an alumna of an old-fashioned (pre-Reagan) Jesus camp, this woman is not high on Jesus, I’ve seen young folks high on Jesus and I’ve seen people drunk or high and I would have to hazard the guess that this young person falls into the latter category…… I’ve even seen young folks speak in tongues, no one looked nor acted like this.
ive never done a drug or drank in my life. Jesus is my everything!
Yeah the first three are the same.
For real, I think she could be epileptic. Something in that category.
“High on Jesus”?
I wish it were true just so the Scientologists make a t-shirt that says “Christ Kills!” ahaha..
Come on guys. No one has mentioned the resemblance to Lisa Nova?! It’s got to be an act.
But if it’s not, F**k it! Cuz CHRIST NEEDS A SPOTLESS BRIDE, ya know? Wow! It’s like she’s talking directly to me! And I’m already in deep.. She’s in my Facebook, MySpace and she’s 2 of my T-mobile Faves (just in case, sorry Grandma..). Within twenty seconds of her 2nd video I resolved to cut ties with family and shun my friends. By minute 3 of her third I’d already ebay’d all my sinfull earthly possessions. Currently, I’m overnighting my bank account info and car title to the Floodgate Revival Ministries address.
And don’t EVEN try to de-program me you, you Liz-Spikol-Readers! You hear me?! Back!! Back I SAY!!! Yoo HOO!!! DROOLING FOR JESUS!!
I did some minimal research on this phenomenon, which (fantastically) is called “toking the ghost.” Awesome, right! It was invented by a man/pastor named Ben Crowder. Clearly an ex-stoner. Evidently, it’s a method aimed at drawing in the stoner/druggie kids. I actually watched a video of a woman in her mid-forties doing exactly what this poor delusional girl is doing. It was more than embarrassing. Naturally, I could not look away.
(hugs) guys Jesus does love you
