Unbelievable, real or fake? What do you think?

[Pastor Keith]

Please watch this, tell me what you think, mass hysteria, fake, hypnotic, or the real deal or a man filled with satanic power and deception. I know nothing about this guy so any feedback or discussion is highly desired.

It is ALL real, yet it is not. There is trickery involved and knowledge about how the mind works.

Derren Brown is someone that a lot of people here should listen to and watch.
He is a mentalist and hypnotist with a deep understanding of psychology.

I've seen some of what is billed as Holy Ghost rallies where supposedly after repeated instructions and told to say one word and then at that time people will speak in tongues and have often wondered if some hynosis is not involved with that. I'm not saying ALL, but some.

I would go so far as to say MOST.

I never considered it being hypnosis until my daughter had a hypnosis come to a college class and speak to them. She told me how he hypnotized the entire class. How easy it was. Then it all sounded too familiar to what I'd seen.

what is disturbing is WHY do pastors and superitendents and leaders PROMOTE this.

Someone explains this a Hypnotist show... saying the folks there were expecting this to happen...interesting...but staged or not... we'll never know... but I think that it mostly people who are probably easily swayed or believe this stuff...

It fits 99+% of the "slain in the spirit" incidents I have ever seen............

Hypnosis only works if the person involved WANTS to be hypnotized and voluntarily fully submits to the ordeal.
