Ouch! In the back of my mind the whole time, however, was the side effect of this miraculous doughnut must be a killer. You made your point. I walked right in to that one.

I often tune in to watch some of the fiery Sunday morning preachers and, regardless which faith they follow, a number of them are absolutely mesmerizing. @ Tim – that actually does not surprise me, if it’s true.

Not sure about evil, but it's certainly used heavily by Church ministers. The biggest bulk purchases of Milton H Ericksons Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques Vols 1 & 2 are (I am told) universities that specialize in theology. Why would that be I wonder? ;-) “Or, oh my, could this even be used for evil means?!?!”

Hehe! ;-) @ Remarkablogger - Yeah, it's all points on a continuum, but Brian offered so much value for so long, the expectation was that anything he put forth would be worth buying. Plus, I think so many people benefited from his advice for so long, they were literally looking for a way to give him money. Last I knew, he has up around 1,000 Teaching Sells members! @ Hayden - I know, I know, it's the copywriter in me...though, I fully expect to get a call from a an agent optioning the rights to he Terminator Donut(TM) anyday now! hahaha! @ Wow – Not so clever, just a quick learner!
