Our ex narc-elder would have little to no regard for anyone not bowing to him. His regard came at a cost of total obedience and submission to him – in other words he played favorites in the most extreme sense. Anyone that could (or would) challenge his image of perfection would be quickly put on his frame-up/smear to-do list. He has to protect his image so he is constantly paranoid that someone will confront and expose him. Back in 2011 he was confronted by certain elders of the congregation and refused to admit any wrongdoing of his actions (more on this actual event later); as a result ALL of his current elders RESIGNED, … ALL of them. So, if the narc-elder appears like he has regard for you, it is because you are part of their agenda – nothing more.
Psalms 82:4 Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
