If you look at some of the Life-Study messages, or HWMR contents it's eerie how much repeating goes on. There are two reasons that I can think of for the pattern of repetition. First is that he got paid by the word so he had to pad his few ideas with filler. Second is that these messages were all given orally as talks before audiences, and his use of repetition was his way to program us. He'd keep repeating 'key' words or phrases, which were picked by the cued-in regulars. They would then stand and 'testify of their enjoyment ', using the same stressed words. Supposedly this was the metabolic transfer of the processed god into our being. But it was no different from a rock concert, sporting event or political rally. The symbols were paraded, the crowd huzzahs on cue.
