A Documentary About Bronies? - A Review

So I was looking for a movie to watch tonight whilst eating in my dorm, and so I decided to go onto Netflix and find a movie to watch.  Upon looking through the many different movies, I settled on a little documentary on there called "Bronies".  To be quite honest, I was a bit curious, as I know a few of my friends and colleagues call themselves Bronies, and having watched a fair amount of the show myself (but not calling myself a Brony), I thought it would be interesting to check out.

Are We Being Hypnotized in Worship?

So I was in church this past Sunday, and I was hit with a thought.  We were singing this song by Hillsong, "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

The song in itself is a decent song.  Good beat, decent lyrics.  It got to the point though where we were repeating the same lyrics over and over again.

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

Okay. Yes, the song's lyrics are decent. I'm not disputing that.  The thing is that we were repeating this over and over and over and over.  In the middle of my singing, I had to stop.  I honestly felt like I was being pulled into a trance.  I started feeling emotional and in a state of openness?  It was hard to explain.  It felt like I was being put in some sort of low level hypnotism.

Looking up hypnotism online, I find this phrase:

A person under hypnosis experiences heightened suggestibility and focus accompanied by a sense of tranquility

What does this mean?  Heightened suggestibility and focus?  Means that you are more open to different ideas.  I could make you feel really good about doing something even if you wouldn't do that normally.  A sense of tranquility just means you feel a bit more calm about things when listening to it.

Okay, I mean, I enjoy listening to this kind of music. Don't get me wrong.  But seriously, tell me this doesn't sound like it could be the back track to a Hillsong track:

I don't know about you, but I don't feel like we need to hypnotize people in order to get them to follow Jesus.  Over the summer, our Kinetic college group has been doing studies on different cults, the most recent being Scientology.  We learned that in order to help them "gain social skills," they were to stare at another person for hours on end...basically hypnotizing them to believe what they want you to believe.  Shouldn't the Word of God stand by itself?

Again, don't get me wrong.  I like listening to Hillsong and other worship songs like that.  But why must we repeat the same lyrics over and over to get the point across?  For me personally, if I start doing the same thing repetitively, I tune it out and it just turns into "vain repetitions."  It means nothing.

It really was bugging me on Sunday, and I feel like it is something that needs to be talked about...or explained so I can understand it a bit better.
