mrselfrog, I don't know you either, so if you are so strong on your points, why not tell her your real name? One of the other signs of abusers is that they like to hide behind fake names and labels if it means they can avoid confrontation. Drop the secrecy and let this person know who you are, even if you do so privately.

My name is Robin. Everyone I "talk" to online knows that much. You can email me if you like. I'll post my email address in the description.

have you noticed that a narcissist have similar traits as the devil?

1) appears as the angel of light (charming)

2) lies/manipulate others to keep his/her narcissistic supply

3) self-exalting instead of God-exalting

4) deceive the very elected (in the context of Christiandom)

5) idolizing himself/herself and very skilled at convincing others to do the same

6) gets really angry when exposed of their true nature

7) inconsistent

8) empty to the core but has an appearance of grandiosity

etc.

@cwkc0401 How Very observant! You sound like a person with some real experience.

[lucybean975]

Yep. Lots of authority, no accountability: mix some power and control issues in there, and it's a big mess. Seen it too, but not in a church--more an "alternative spirituality" type of scene.

[mrselfrog]

It is difficult to try to get together with others on spiritual things. Some one always has control issues, no-one wants to call them on it, and folks are full of superstitious hang ups they try to hang you on. They want you to use their lingo, do things their way, and if they have any pull what so ever, they ostracize you for being an independent thinker, knowing anything for your self, or just not wanting to be bossed around. Wish it wasn't like that.

Been thru this twice.

@saaved03 - Hey saaved, your response makes me strongly question whether you're saved. Division is not, by itself, a bad thing. Division from evil is good, the Bible implores us to expose evil in the church, just as Paul called out super apostles. We're supposed to divide from the evil, expose it as this woman is doing, and tell other members of the church to it. If we don't, we're in opposition to the Word of God. But I doubt you really care about the Word of God, Saaved.

I too have experienced this kind of abuse and a narcissistic leader. This is an issue that should be addressed and more often.

And in response to HiZ Elect- a person who is truly His elect would not attack anyone or advise any medication other than the Word of God.

Mrselfrog may God bless the all the works of your hands and the suffering that you are doing for the sake of Christ Jesus-those who suffer with Him will regin with Him. The truth will set us free!!! Be encouraged in Christ Jesus

Good insight in relating narcissism to cult leaders. In the outdated Merck Manual, it relates how a paranoid personality disorder can induct another to possess their disorder. I think that narcissistics can do this as well. Overall, I think that narcissistics are very dangerous people, especially, if they have a lot of mney. That doesn't set me to well with Hollywood. LOL You have a great, personality, honest, sincere, not strange in anyway, and I enjoyed your disertation. Thanks
