Well...I guess the idea behind the whole thing, at least in their minds, is to somehow...get control of you. If you "let them in" to all of your past....it gives them knowlege of stuff that maybe isn't any of their business, really. But....somehow, it becomes not only their business.......but it also becomes the focal point of how all the problems in your life are a result of "unconfessed sin" and/or "unhealed relationships" yadda yadda yadda.
What it all boiled down to was rank amatures attempting to practice a form of "mental health" on unsuspecting folks who are just trying to deal with life as best they can.
And then what happens??
1. You join in and start "praying against" whatever it is that causes you to be *%$*!@ up to start with (your overbearing mother your domineering father...or worse).....all of it come out and you are now totally exposed in this "group". or
2. You see it for the crap that it is.....and you tell em where to stick it....whereupon...you are labeled as "demonized" or at worst "possessed" or whatever....because you are not being "transpaaaaarant" and "hoooneesttt" with God.
Actually...the more I think about it...the more I think that somehow these doctrines should be investigated by Federal authorities to see how much actual mental health damage is being done to these poor folks who happen on to these Witchdoctors.......
I'm ranting.......
Excellent post.
