Now, I know many Christians don't believe the slaying in the spirit is biblical or authentic. However, ever since it was done to me once, I have always contended there's technology, not power of suggestion, involved.
And here's the proof: The Electric Touch Machine!
This is not hate on Christians, this is hate on fraud. Nobody, not even the Christians who oppose slaying int the spirit, used to believe me. I have felt vindicated after discovering this. This machine, a Pentecostal pastor got arrested with one in Rwanda, where being a religious impostor can get you into trouble.
Everyone should have access to this information.
Look up Pentecostal pastor electricity and you'll even find some academic work done on this subject. In particular, the case where the guy got arrested over this.
Have fun with this one, I put it under general for a reason. And again, I'm not hating on Christians, I'm gloating over fraud exposure. Christians especially have the right to know about this technology and tell all their friends who would otherwise be taken in by someone doing this.
Never heard of this but I've heard people quote unquote speaking in tongues. Bunch of nonsense syllables with a lot of rolling R sounds.
So for the uninitiated, slaying in the spirit goes sometiong like this:
You're being prayed for at some sort of public magic show, at a church somewhere. The music's playing softly, and the person praying steps in front of you, raises their hands to your face level and holds them one on either side of the face, thereby closing the electric circuit.
As I said, the one time it happened to me, I didn't expect it and it was indeed electricity.
as I said, many if not most, Christians consider this slaying in the spirit situation to be a problem. However, I've read all their counterapologetics about it and never once did they acknowledge it to be a technological phenomenon -- a parlor trick. They appeal to mind over matter, or say it's a counterfeit spirit. No, it's a counterfeit all right but not a sprit. I've tried before to explain to some of these how it works, before I had the evidence here. Most of them like to say it's like a drug for people or something. I'm not gonna say it's as bad as an old 6L6 tube from a bass amplifier or a Hammond B3, kids don't try and fix electronics when inebriated as yours truly did when younger ... A 6l6 or other large tube will really hurt you.
And while the slaying in the spirit is clearly the electrostatic discharge from a capacitor it's not that hard. It's gonna knock you down, you feel the tingling bolt to the face since the two contacts on either side of your head. The reason you hit the floor like that is a capacitor's discharge is sudden, it's not like the current you learned about in 8th grade science using a circuit board or wires and a battery.
The guy stood over me and asked if I was still skeptical. At the time I couldn't answer him thoroughly without direct evidence. When I finally was stood up and told to explain what happened I did: I said it felt like the discharge from a capacitor but obviously the volts must have been under 50 or so and it was clearly direct current or it would have been painful.
The ozone smell that accompanied the experience stands to reason, in direct compliance with how a discharge works. You smell that in a thunderstorm.
I get it that probably not all people have that experience, since if the person is more f a willing participant and not skeptical one could presumably turn down the pot. But me being blind I couldn't verify some of what I wished I could see, and those that can see that were around aren't exactly electronics people so my later questions were met with some stiff resistance that further convinced me of my hypothesis, now seemingly very likely to be the machine or at least the technology that got used.
Every Christian's got a right to know what these are up to, whether you believe in that stuff or you think it's heresy or what have you. The practical explanation for how they pull this off is way better than any of your counterapologetics saying it's a latter rain or like a drug or some other mumbo jumbo sorry, just saying this as an engineer myself look at the possibilities.
And ask yourselves: Why wouldn't they use such spook tricks before the 1920s? Portable electric power / decent batteries were not available until then. I imagine whatever Mcpherson used was probably pretty primitive by today's standards. Today one could digitally control the output rather than use a clumsy pot.
As for me, I feel vindicated and admit to quite a bit of private, if juvenile, gloating over having discovered the man behind the mirror on this one.
This is not anything faith related...this is magic, and just wow.
Not magic, electricity. No spooks at all, just sparks.
There are more scams or what have you then this my friend in the church.
Making people aware won't change what happens to some, because they don't understand.
I was a church musician for a long time, and have seen things happen just because people believed it.
I also have known people that basicly lie.
One lady claimed to be blind, but in fact could see.
She was healed.
So, posting this is nice, but I fear a way to prove God doesn't exist. Smile.
