Narcissists present you with a False Self. Religious-Narcs often present themselves as a type of the Apostle Peter or Paul and an Old Testament leader like Moses at the same time! They insist that God commissioned them with this honor and duty and they will twist scripture and use intense gaslighting to not only fool you, but themselves. This is straight-up delusion and begs the question: what caused them to slip into this state of delusion?

One theory I have is that they did not have a love for the truth, especially the truth of their actions and abuses that harmed others. You can discern these delusional religious-narcs fairly easily by their steadfast refusal to take ownership and repent of sins/actions others bring to their attention.

They are not being setup by Satan, no… they are setup by God Himself (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)– this is the worse position they can be in!

Knowing how this delusion of FALSE SELF happens to these narcs can assist us as we determine how to interact with them.

Check out the video from Dr Carter about the Narc’s False SELF.

Because a narcissist’s entitlement and need for control are so pervasive, their primary relationships cannot be sustained. But, as Dr. Les Carter describes in the video, as the unraveling of the relationship seems inevitable, instead of taking personal responsibility, they build a case against you. As you recognize their tendencies, you will be positioned to respond with strength.

Our ex narc-elder is notorious for framing-up and building a case to smear anyone who would expose his wicked behavior; this systematic program of building a case against someone is part of his ‘faction’ protocol. He twists scripture to help build his false narrative against his target/victim and isolate ANYONE from seeking the truth through multiple witnesses (not false witnesses) and actual evidence. As the saying goes, there is always TWO sides to any story- our ex narc-elder thwarts any attempt to hear BOTH sides. It’s CULTISH!

Check out the video by Dr. Carter explaining how narcs build these cases.

Our ex narc-elder picked his arguments carefully, especially when other ‘witnesses’ were present. Narcs are deliberate and cunning in their setups/frame-ups of others and they are always protecting their image. They often bring their alternate reality into the argument- in some cases outright lies. They have no sense of mutual regard or empathy. It’s all about how YOU are wrong, defective, etc. Our ex narc-elder (and all narcs) are emotional weaklings. Check out the following video from Dr. Carter.

Our ex narc-elder is a slick snake, a wolf-in-sheep’s clothing, a pied piper,… a con-man. He uses scripture deceptively to achieve his objectives in manipulating his victims. Narcissists need control and supply- it’s always about their image, and protecting it.

They are E V I L in their manipulation, and according to the Bible this is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT.

Narcissists want to be admired, they want to be in the privileged position, such as an elder, pastor, etc. And one of their techniques to achieve that goal is to be charming and witty. But as Dr. Les Carter explains, they can keep up the facade for only so long, and once the mask comes off, the relationship changes drastically.

By definition, narcissists want to be in control over you. Our ex narc-elder/pastor derived narcissistic energy (supply) from running his cult in an authoritarian fashion. He was (and is) accountable to nobody,… not even God. As a former military officer, I understand well the concept of ‘chain-of-command,’ … I once asked our narc-elder on a conference call who he was accountable to if we had issues with his behavior- he was speechless for a few seconds and then tried to explain away my inquiry. Subsequently, ALL of his elders resigned as a result trying to hold him accountable to his sinful actions. To this day, he says all of his elders were factious and this is why they left/resigned- a clear sign of delusion and projection.

As Dr. Les Carter explains, when narcissists embrace an authoritarian mindset, they will appeal to your sense of duty and obligation at the expense of your personal freedoms. They certainly do not like when you prioritize otherwise, yet for you to be healthy, you will need to refrain from buckling under their pressure.
