Just because he was on CBN once does not mean he is in league with them, I do not watch CBN and saw Steven's testimony on his youtube channel way before he was on CBN. I know there are many cultists that pose as Christians, and I do not listen to Billy nor Pat. We do not even own a TV, but the little that I have seen on the religious channels at other people's houses, shocked me as many of them teach New Age and dresses it up as Christianity, here is the other testimony I'm speaking of.
He doesn't need to be in league w them. Have you considered why they might want to hypnotize viewers while implanting this guy's story? It is mind-control.
Granted I don't know him, nor do I judge him, and I am glad for him as long as he is happy, but to me it seems this guy is another dupe looking for easy answers. He was clueless as a "new-age guru", and he is equally clueless now. Nothing has changed except he requested an experience and was given one. However he defines that experience is subjective, and many others have requested the same type of experience yet have defined it quite differently. It is not something that is exclusively Christian unless you personally filter and define it that way.
People would be shocked to know how many religious practices are dark rituals that were intentionally inserted into their religion to feed negativity. An obvious example is all of the hypnotic repetition involved, along with less obvious things such as sigils, "left-hand" in other words self-serving, self-exalting, magic workings to attempt power/control over others, even hints of demonology (remote viewers, take a peek at the rooms beneath the Vatican if you dare).
One of the most nefarious examples are those weird so-called deliverance rituals (becoming "possessed", falling to the floor, speaking in tongues etc). NEVER agree to participate in one.. extremely bad idea unless you don't mind the possibility of ending up with negative parasitic entities directly attached to you, and then having no clue why you start having severe mood swings, night terrors, insomnia, even paranoid delusions, etc etc.
