I have spent two years studying to be a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I haven't started practicing it yet.
All JW's should acknowlege that they have been under the influence of Hypnosis the whole time they have been IN.....
Hypnosis is:
1] Bypassing the critical factor of the conscious mind
2] The giving and accepting of suggestions.
That is hypnosis in a nut shell. We all go through stages of hypnosis every day. The ad comes on tv, next thing we are looking for a chocolate bar.
WOW! is that public talk over already! The time just flew! Prayer is the same as a group hypnotherapy session. Consider that with your eyes closed, one of your senses is disabled your concentration is all the more focussed. The critical factor bypassed, the suggestions go straight in!
I could go on. Also in hypnosis, you are NOT comatose. In fact your senses are heightened.
