Default Re: The Mind Benders - What Jack Sparks Actually Said

“Finally you venture an "O Lord Jesus," but only with your lips. Smiles and encouragement come from the whole group. They like what you're doing. "That didn't hurt so much," you muse. You vocalize it softly, "O Lord Jesus."

You're really into it now. You're even enjoying it. You're pulsating back and forth with them. What acceptance! You're a part. You've even got that odd intonation. Your mind is re- lieved. The pressure is off. Your will has been broken. And it's likely that you have just become the most recent convert to the Local Church.
Mind-benders pg. 220-221.


I think that this hit the nail on the head. Forget about Jesus, or understanding what he has done on the cross. Just convert people to the “local church”, that’s what it all about.
God forbid if you speak up on this, the mantra will be given right in your face, as a sign that you crossed the line.
