379704 2005-08-16 02:49:00 I read that these type of evangelists use a hypnotic trick.

1) When you enter the room, music is playing at between 40-70 beats per minute, equivalent to the heart beat
2) When the first speaker starts, he talks at 40-70 words per minute.
3) When the collection plate goes round, music plays again at 40-70 beats per minute.
4) The main preacher then starts, which by this time, most people are in a semi-trance state, to absorb the "drivel" he spouts.

These people are then entranced, and it remains enforce for several days. Some people are so entranced, that by time they are "touched" by the "healer", they receive such a feeling of wellbeing and relief, that really are healed for a period, because of the "stress" removal felt. However, the problems return later, but it will the people keep attending, which this so-called "healing" encourages.

379705 2005-08-16 06:55:00 What a lovely story!
I wonder who thought that one up?

I won't comment on heartbeats or music beats, as I'm not qualified.
But when it comes to speaking speeds, I am.
I doubt that any preacher would last long at 40-70 words per minute. That's a durge that would soon drive the congregation away.

The standard newsreader script is timed at three words per second.
That's 180 words per minute.

One for the urban legends list, I think.

you could be right. i saw them at mcdonalds all squashed in a room, all wearing their black t-shirts, glum as anything - they were getting told off for not recruiting enough people. when they came out - still glum & didnt have the spirit to play with their kids.

Good to see that paranoia is alive and well!

Have you actiually been to any of these meetings? I have never attended a meeting as you described - therfore I wouldn't consider myself in a position to judge. However I have attended a great many Sunday Church meetings in more mainstream denominations and I'm prettu sure I have never been hypnotised once.

It is a cult lead by a tool coated tool with tool insides.
