It will be interesting to see how this works out for the University President.

Is it what those students paid all of that tuition to do? Will you be pleased when the bitch about not learning anything due to lack of attendance?

It’s about time. Was getting to the point of being ridiculous; like a permanent tent revival. Big public displays of piety start to take on the looks of the virtual signalling that we so despise on the part of the left.

There may or may not be perpetual Adoration of the Living Lord at your local Catholic Church. It feels good praying like they did at Asbury. It is going on around the world it may be called Adoration.

I’d imagine the parking lots were getting permanently crammed, denying employees and students parking space.

Town and campus law enforcement were probably working over time, managing the extra crowds and traffic.

Last, that balcony inside the church looked pretty crowded, in the videos - I’d worry about potential collapse.....

They should announced they’re re-locating to a large church or tent located in area area nearby.....

Just playing devil’s advocate here so don’t go after me. Could this not be an example of mass formation psychosis like we saw with the COVID pandemic?

Standing again the Holy Spirit of God. I wonder how that’s going to work out for him?

Time to remove the revival off campus since Asbury has no place for Jesus.

I traveled visiting many church services of many different denominations to evaluate the techniques used to create a group hysteria.

I visited Pentacostal church services and revival meetings, Messianic Jewish services, charismatic Christian and Catholic services, and even a few Buddhist and Hindu services.

Prior to this I studied and trained in stage hypnosis, something I will never use. I studied it to identify the mind manipulation tricks used in religious services to get followers. I learned group trance induction techniques.

Many of the people falling prey to these techniques will swear on a Bible they are born again, but it has nothing to do with religion. It is an external surrender to a person or group. It is a trance state similar to a mass hysteria that causes a person to lack discernment.

I provide the following for information purposes. If anyone uses it to manipulate people, you are accountable to God for your actions.

It’s a 4 step process for trance induction. This works best in an evening service or at the end of a weekend retreat.

1. Allow the volume of your voice to go up and down. Cause people to lock onto your voice. Even turning the PA system up and down gets people to strain a bit at times to hear.

2. Destabilize emotional consciousness. Testimonials and music helps with this. Tell a sad story and the a happy story. This gets follower’s consciousness attaching to the words of the leader even stronger. Music that enhances emotional intensity assists in this consciousness destabilization.

3. Induce guilt, fear, or anger to totally eliminate logical ego consciousness. Guilt is easiest to induce in a religious setting. The person becomes like an emotional child and loses all discernment. They essentially shifted into their emotional feminine consciousness and rely on the leader for logical stability.(I also studied non-verbal hypnosis induction techniques that utilize similar processes)

4. Offer a way to get rid of the guilt, fear or anger. “If you accept Jesus into your life right now .....” The person will go through a physiological and psychological shift and appear to change. They are in a trance state and have surrendered their individual will externally to another person.

These same techniques are used in trance induction by hypnotists.

I am not discounting the existance of the real experience of being born again. In the real process a person surrenders internally, not externally. They surrender to God, not another human. It is an individual experience more than a group experience.

I was shown this process happening in a large scale on earth in a series of visions back in the early 1990’s. It physically made me sick to see it happen.

I turned to God in deep prayer and tearfully asked, “ Why was I shown these atrocities?” God replied, “This is how the anti-messiah will lead my people astray.”

This is what is happening right now...

Peter’s conversion at Pentecost was the real thing, but done in a different way. In the real process, the Holy Spirit moves into an individual and changes the person. This will also be happening in the future, but first people must be led astray.

If it of God it will survive. If not of God it will dwindle and die out. College president should read up on the Bible.

My first reaction — even as a devout believer — is that this is nothing more than attention grabbing histrionics by emotional Pentecostal; types.

Can’t have those Christians getting all uppity. Might trigger some letter person.

Right. He's a bureaucrat and to a bureaucrat, this revival looks out of control and dangerous.

How does he (the President) explain this to his Board of Trustees?

In fact, I'll bet the President has been getting calls from members of his Board of Trustees asking him what the hell is going on over there at the University.

"What has this revival got to do with the University?" "Bring this revival to a halt ASAP, before it really gets out of hand!"

Just ran into an update from Asbury College.

Classes have been cancelled for the week, and two additional
chapels are being dedicated to the project to handle overflow.

The main church will still be used as the primary site.

Interesting.

Kind of like the ET movie... people are being drawn to the spiritual side. Strange feeling to liberals who fear God...
