I knew someone who worked for TBN and she said that everytime they switch to a fundraiser, it is because they are slipping into a charismatic state and don't want it broadcast on TV. Perhaps the viewers/donors are slipping into one of these states at the same time.
...& me, just hearing it.
I must *consider* with all which is (obviously) at stake, all to be gained?
Where does good old fashioned acting play into the equation contributing towards this, "Charismatic state"??
I mean; simply by using my amazing powers of empathy?? {g}
I can tell you unequivocally if *I* knew that every day m-f I'd be on that television for an hour or more?
...& when I was on, the *meter* would start spinning wildly with dollars flying straight into my pocketS?
I *could* get myself worked-up into a mighty big *charasmatic* lather; right before your eyes & anyone else dumb enough to be watching me? Yea...
Scare the bejebbers outa *all*, I would. Bank on it.
...& if I knew for certain there were a correlation between the *fear* reaction of my audience to my *charismatic* state, TO the RPM of that $$-meter?
Well, guess what I'm doing; & it ain't praying.
I'd be hard at work making a damned good living, eh?
