Below is a great article by Dr. Darrell Puls.  This is an epidemic.  The abuse and damage from these wolves-in-sheep’s clothing is incalculable.  See below for the link to the full article.  A M A Z I N G conclusions based on DATA.

‘It is impossible to describe the emotional and spiritual devastation caused by narcissistic rage laser-focused on destroying you. It happened to me as an Associate Pastor under a Senior Pastor I would later learn fit the diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (Covert). After 20 minutes of having my every foible and weakness machine-gunned at me and leaving me in a state of unresponsive shock, he wanted a hug before he walked out of my office!

You can apply this to your spiritually abusive narc-leader/elder.  I wish I had known this information years ago.

I maintain that verbal abuse is horrendous enough; the article linked below presents 7 consequences of verbal abuse.  I say that abuse that is spiritual in nature (and in a cult environment) multiplies these consequences signinficantly.  I speak from experience, not theory.  The abuse I experienced by my ex narc-‘elder’ contributed to my hell-on-earth for the past 3+ years.  People who experience what I endured typically are diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).

My ex narc-‘elder’ also enjoyed the emotional pain/torture he caused me, receiving a dopamine high from his abuse.  When he would abuse others like this he would sometimes order pizza in some kind of twisted celebration/high.

So called ‘elders’ who employ this kind of abuse MUST be exposed and brought to accountability – they are destroying God’s people, their relationships with others and their relationship with God.  It cannot be overstated how serious are spiritual and emotional abuse by these narcissistic sociopath elders.  WE MUST STAND UP TO THESE WOLVES-IN-SHEEP’S CLOTHING.

I’ve heard this card played many times by my ex narc-elder.  He would use this to invoke fear and intimidation to those who might question his statements and actions.  It’s a disgusting twisting of scripture and outright manipulation.

Check out this archived article by John Anderson and be educated to not fall for this manipulative tactic anymore.

It’s important to know WHY people join cults.  Those who have never had been through one can be tempted to judge; consider yourself extremely fortunate not to have been part of a cult.  NOBODY knowingly joins a cult.  Check out the article below for more insight; be equipped so you can recognize and avoid cults.  Cults with spiritual narc-elders are on a rise since ANYONE can setup a Website and develop a following of people to con.

Who in our over-stimulated, media-saturated, hyper-connected world would ever go and knowingly join a cult? The answer is no one.
