I was always told that the bit in Deuteronomy about "one who binds others with a spell" is referring to hypnotism.
What did they say was wrong with Hypnosis??

As with everything else the GB doesn't like, they make Hypnosis guilty by association because somebody, somewhere, at some time, made it part of something else condemed in the bible.
Just make sure you have a trusted friend with you at the time of your being hypnotised because you do become vunerable and we want to keep the doctor honest. If he has a problem with someone else being in the room with you during your session...go elsewhere.
Remember, hypnosis is a natural state, we can bring it on ourselves. It can also happen unintentionaly, the TV can do it, driving at night can do it, deep daydreaming too is an altered state like hypnosis. Hypnosis is not evil, its just misunderstood.

I remember hearing those subliminal self-help tapes were bad because the demons could add things in to the background.
And Hypnotism was a definite gateway. But, like previously posted, we sleep every night so what's the difference?
If the "demons" (still haven't seen them and to me it's kinda silly) wanted to get in your head, they would.

Demonism.
But I didnt realise it made you shag the hypnotist. WOW, you'd have to be really careful he wasnt an ugly old man, or it could be dangerous!

Hypnosis is a tool and may be used for many purposes.
