  • HYPNOTISM WITHIN the ADVENTIST CHURCH Dangers of NLP “Above All, Keeping Thy Heart with All Diligence; for out of It Are the Issues of Life
    HYPNOTISM WITHIN THE ADVENTIST CHURCH Dangers of NLP “Above all, Keeping thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (margin) Proverbs 4:23 We live in Crisis Times! This E-BOOK will cover the many faces of Spiritistic Hypnotism which we now have around us both in the world AND in the church: Meditation Sermons; LAB I and II; Ericksonian Hypnosis; Entertainment Behavioral Transfer; Seminar Hypnosis Books; Yoga; Neuro-Linguistic Programming; Master Student Guide; Casual-conversation Hypnosis; Hypnotic Cassettes; Story-telling Hypnosis; Power from Within Tobacco Classes; Celebration Pantomime Fixation. PART ONE This set of several tracts will open up before you a major spiritistic takeover in our denomination. Some of our workers have taken courses in hypnotic mind-control exercises, with the purpose in mind of using them on our people. This is a serious matter, and as you read through all the documented material here, you will be astounded to think that some of our leaders could be so gullible as to go to the world for their training. Non-Adventist hypnosis specialists are teaching these courses to a number of our church leaders so they can use this information. In addition, advanced instructor-level courses are being taken, so that church workers can instruct our pastors, and bring it into our local churches. In special conference-wide meetings, some of this information is being taught to our church members as a means of reclaiming former members. "There are sons and daughters of the church who may need to be reclaimed, but let us use prayer, understanding, and the Word of God to do it, not hypnotic techniques! Some leave the church because of their own desires to experience the husks of worldliness.
