It's so true. I used the same tactic while on splits with the missionaries. It's what we were taught to do.
"Do keep in mind if you don't get the special revelations then as noted above it will be because your motives aren't honest, or your intentions are not where they need to be, thus the problem will be you're not being honest....so the focus moves to your mental and heart condition. It's then the initiate questions themself....Bingo!... They know you've taken the bait and the desensitization and programming begins. If they can make you doubt yourself they know they can move forward with the process."
"Pray earnestly, if you feel you didn't get the answer or the right answer, keep praying until you do!"
Self-fulfilling "prophecy". "Dang it, I'm going to keep doing this until I get that answer."
