hypnosys experience?

by Hermano in

hello everyone, long time lurker, first post.

can you share your experiences with hypnosis?

beyond the yes it worked for me or no it did not work for me, what i am looking for especifically is whether or not it opened you up for demon attacks or demonic activity.

It seems the smaller our idea of "God", the larger the sphere of "evil". But why assume that the Source of an infinite universe is less, and just a mere fragment or character within that universe? Why attribute such endlessly vast wonder to something small? Who are we to do that?

I'm not sure I understood you. Are saying that maybe God is both the good and evil?

No offence meant, Hermano.

None taken JamesThomas. One of the reasons why I dropped out of the Witnesses is because I consider myself a truth-seeker. I dont understand people that seem to hold on to beliefs simply because that is what they've always beleived. By the same token we are taking about things that are difficult to prove or disprove, so we cant be too dogmatic about our opinions. I will pray to the tribal gods on your behalf, that your blasphemy may be forgiven.

Convincing the JW members that demons are literally everywhere, waiting to take over our minds and lives, is nothing more than hypnosis itself.

I agree with this Threestars. And I think that that is a big part of the Watchtower's problem with most of their teachings. In my opinion they exagerate and it ends up backfiring on them because people who are real truth-seekers dont respond well to exagerations from a source who claims they have The Truth. Certainly demons are not literally everywhere waiting to posses us, but that does not mean that they do not exist and cannot cause us trouble.

There is nothing special about hypnosis. We all self-hypnotise constantly, a common situation being whilst watching tv. Hypnotism is when a person is in a form of trance.

Yes, jwfacts I have read that as well. But there are different trance levels. I've been hypnotised many times in the past and sometimes I could remember the whole session afterwards and other times I could not. It was almost like I reached a point in the session in which I blacked out and when I came to is when the session was ending. And maybe some people just cant reach that deeper level. Maybe those that do reach that deeper level open up their minds to a spiritual realm....

If you can convince someone that they are Elvis, just by talking to them for a few minutes, then how much more effective are meetings etc going to be, when there is no letup at all

Truly I tell you today, it's all in your mind.

Yeah, imagine if all those meetings had a more positive message to them, like you are good enough, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, believe in yourself, instead of all the negativity, i.e.: We are really not worthy of everlasting life, Don't trust your own understanding, etc.

Thanks Missanna. I've had some weird things happens to me too. I think demons exist too. Maybe they only mess with certain personality types...

I think like with so many other things the borg takes the whole demon thing way too far. I can understand not going to a medium, but I've heard the stories about the smurfs and that just does not make any sense.

Aquagirl, when you say it did not work for you, do you mean it did not cure you of your ailment, or where you not able to get hypnotized?

Thanks aSphere. I wish I were as sure as you about demons being a fragment of the imagination.... There seems to be some sort of correlation between hypnosis and hypnogogia, hypnopimpia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia), out of body experiences, UFO experiences, etc.

Also, and I hate to sound like I just read this in a Watchtower mag, if there is a God then there can be a devil. If there are angels then there can be demons....

Thanks Darth. It sounds like your experience was fun. Have you had any scary "trips" while stoned? Ever feel like maybe you were in contact with beings from another realm?

Why did you leave the org?

by A-Team in

were you dfed, did you find out some lies about the org?.

what was the last straw?

Hermano

1. Got tired of being micromanaged by elders. If you miss a meeting you get talked to, if you go to all the meetings but step outside the Hall for a breath of fresh air once in a while, you get talked to. If sit in the back room instead of the main hall you get talked to.

2. Do more, more, more. If you miss meetings and stop missing meetings, they want you to preach. If you go out preaching they want you to preach more. If you preach more, they want you place some literature. If you place literature they want you to do return visits. If you do return visits they want you to conduct bible studies.... it goes on an on and on. It is never enough, you always have to do more because you do love Jehovah, right?

3. I read the entire bible cover to cover on my own a couple of times. I think the spirit of Christ is missing in a lot of the things that are said and done by the borg.

4. And the straw that broke the camels back the teaching about the Generation of 1914 will pass away passing away after it was taught like it was a biblical fact. I remember being about 12 and asking my brother (who was giving me my study cause my dad was the PO and was too busy with other matters) about that. It just did not make sense to me. I said what if some madman reads that and decides he's gonna kill all the old folks to speed up Armagedon, then what? And without missing a beat my brother said, then that means that Armagedon will be right behind him. And I actually beleived that crap!

I know a lot of what the Watchtower says is crap, but I am not sure that everything they say is crap. Has anyone here undergone hypnosis on a regular basis, and if so did you find any strange things ocurring to you?
