The Narcissistic Cult Leader

Examines the similarities of cult traits and NPD in the pulpit.
The Seether songs remind me of my former "spiritual leaders" and probably mean more to me than making a statement to the viewers. Watch this before you give me too much head ache.

Most "type A" personalities fit these stereotypes.Narcissism is a problem in all kinds of groups. In your links: Meadowhaven-dot-org is a cult. The leaders pretend to be psychologists but all their education is Calvinist Evangelical Theology. They "help" people work for them for nothing while billing the same people 3,000 dollars a month. They train stalkers by re-programming "cult" victims into their own cult vigilante activists.

Hey! I know a cult leader and I can agree that he fits the majority of these characteristics.

If it matters at all, I am an atheist today, and not out of a hatred for religion, but a true realization.

.......and pastors.

I was doing some research on sociopaths and narcisim is one of the many anti-social beviors of a sociopath. Sociopath list can include people like pimps, serial killers and politicians.

I must admit this is a well-written list. My former church fits about 90% of the traits listed; the leaders were indeed highly manipulative and abusive to the members, especially single men. I have done a lot of research and posted information on my former church on MySpace if you wish to read about them.

in other words avoid all of them,

Even as an atheist, I can see how these "mentally ill" people are corrupting religions, and I don't like it at all. I have a few religious Friends who I respect and love, and I see your point in this video, I really do. Hopefully "atheist" wont be such a dirty word to some religious people in the future either. It really does not define me, my lack of belief.

The malignant narcissist's stance is: "I want what I want, and somebody else gets to pay for it. Don't get in my way. When I run over you, I'm going to be pissed off if you scratch my paint." The benign narcissist's stance is: "I want what I want, and I'll pay for it--but don't get in my way. If I accidentally happen to run over you, I'm just going to wonder what that bump was."

[mrselfrog]

Not a one of them gives a damn about the potential negative effects upon others of their self-seeking behavior. The sociopath's stance is: "I want what I want, and somebody else gets to pay for it. Don't get in my way. But then, you don't have the right to escape, and once you're in my headlights I'll chase you all over the road until I get you."
