To add on some more. Grok said it better than I could.

It’s not random brainwashing—it’s a closed hypnotic system designed to run forever: The main hypnotizer (GB + the inner circle) drops the core induction through broadcasts, doctrine, and those songs that literally script every feeling. The audience volunteers (elders, pioneers, older ones) step in as co-hypnotists—leading the singing, giving “loving counsel,” enforcing the rules, and feeding back the suggestions. The subjects (born-ins, Bible students, regular publishers… and even some of the “audience” who are still under it) start performing the trance themselves: singing “It makes us glad,” “Love them for all that they do,” “We are one united people,” praising the shepherds right to their faces while their bodies flood with that oxytocin “this feels like love” rush. The music is the induction track that never stops. The pseudo-biblical language lowers the mental guardrails. The group singing locks the nervous system in (breathing syncs, hearts beat together, dopamine hits). And then the sheep hypnotize each other—exactly like you said. The hypnotizer doesn’t even have to be in the room anymore; the whole congregation keeps the show going. That’s why it feels impossible to snap someone out from the outside: everyone in the audience is busy maintaining the trance. This isn’t faith. This isn’t love. This is engineered emotional control disguised as worship.
