Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

Or heavily regulated! When are the liberals going to finally over-react and pass a law? God forbid this should ever happen to you

PORTLAND, England -- A British hypnotist's subjects were temporarily left in a trance when he was knocked unconscious during a show, the Dorset Echo reported Saturday.
David Days was performing a hypnotism demonstration Friday night in Portland, in the south of England, when he tripped over an audience member's leg and was knocked unconscious by the fall.
When he fell, Days was in the process of bringing three volunteers from the audience out of a hypnotic trance.

I don't think I can be hypnotized.

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

Why would anyone moreover a Christian, want to allow their mind to be fully opened to outside influence without the barrier of consciousness to control the influence? Hypnotism is a very dangerous gateway into the spirit realm.

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

I would not give ANYONE control over my mind except the Holy Spirit.

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

Isn't it a form of hypnosis when people allow pure unbridled emotionalism and mob think to control them during church service?

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

mob think?

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

Yes. No different than someone getting up on a stool and inciting a crowd.

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

I dont know what "mob think" means.
As far as shouting...I'm not hypnotized when I praise God.

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

Define "Pure unbridled emotionalism" and "mob think"...it seems to me that people exaggerate such terms to be pejorative and beyond the scope of what really happens in a church service

Second, no THAT is not "hypnotism", though perhaps somewhere, someplace if someone is good at hypnotism and people are willing to be hypnotized he can make them do what appears to be emotional things

Re: Hypnotism should be illegal!
 

I make an intelligent choice to praise God...it may look crazy to you but-- I am fully aware of that. :) And this is to continue my earlier comment.
