It’s ironic that my post about Religious leaders telling people how to live their lives and forsake their consciences brought some religious right-talkers out of the woodwork. One tried to use scripture to condemn LGBTQ, while another tried to prove God is against woman pastors. I grew up in Religious Narcia where I was taught to argue and proof text until the geese flew South and this page is for survivors by a survivor, so I will be blocking anyone who puts down another person’s calling or orientation even—and especially if they believe they have scriptural truth. Some things are between an individual and God. We’ve all had enough trauma and we don’t need to waste our time on religious narcs—even if they fill their pages with pictures of flowers and Bible verses. Narcissistic Christians get a high off of proof-texting other people. The people I blocked yesterday, give God and love a bad name. This is a game and ego trip for them. And so unlike Jesus! If you have Christian narcs like this in your life, the worst thing you can do is argue with them. I learned years ago to walk away from people who are only committed to binary thinking and their own narrow POV, because these know-it-alls are not interested in compassion for others or growing their minds. The only thing worse than living with a narcissist is wasting your time arguing with them about God. #religiousnarcia #secondcomingofthepharisees #findasafechurch #gorogue #loveandletlive #prooftextingsucks #Godislove #Godcaresaboutyourheart

There is probably nothing more narcissistic than pushing your own agenda, and claiming to speak for God. Right now the denomination I grew up in is in a battle. The powers that be have been on a mission to punish people out of compliance for ordaining women. I can’t imagine a more silly debate. It’s God who calls and ordains both men and women. Human ordination is simply an acknowledgement of what God is already doing in this person’s life. In a sin-traumatized world, why would any true follower of Christ wish to stop anyone from spreading the hope of the Good News? It’s weird how this leader who set out to punish those who ordain women, is now trying to set up five compliance committees concerning what people believe. This includes anyone who questions a seven day creation origins and targets LGBTQ members through a compliance committee on homosexuality. These last two concerns are especially disturbing because these are issues people can’t change. You either believe in one version of creation or the other. This debate isn’t about whether there is a Creator, but how the Creator created the earth. And it’s especially sticky because none of us were there. It’s also been documented by thousands of researchers that people don’t have a choice about sexual orientation. This compliance committee isn’t about monitoring sexual promiscuity, but monitoring people who are not heterosexual. People either believe creation happened one way or another, they are either oriented one way or another, and women are either called by God or not. These three groups of people can’t change to meet the criteria of a narcissistic world church president. As he works to make the church more fundamentalist, thousands are going where they see the Spirit working. Sadly, many unhappy people are scared to stop following such a leader because they fear they might be lost, but the Bible says if we truly love God, no one can pluck us out of his hand. Where the Spirit of the Lord is—there is freedom. #wakeupchurch #jesuscallswomen #loveislove #religiousnarcia #religiousnarcissism #littleredsurvivor #godislove

It’s Freedom Friday, Friends! The leaves are beginning to change in this part of the world. For many people, it’s an exciting new season filled with vibrant colors, cozy sweaters, yummy lattes and snuggling with someone they love. Even those who are single might plan a little party or take a trip to enjoy the changing season. For other people, these first changing leaves signal a sort of doom and gloom because it means summer is coming to an end. Perhaps they’ve been through a traumatic event in the Autumn or during the holidays and a deep melancholy comes to hang around. We are more a product of what we allow in our mind, than what’s been done to us. Depression might be an illness, but it can also be managed. If you find yourself sad or depressed durning a certain time of the year, this could also be a sign of past trauma that occurred during this time. The body remembers what the mind forgets, but you don’t have to walk through this season feeling alone. This is a great time to find a good counselor to help you discover new patterns and make better memories to enjoy this season of your life. Your life is so much more than a calendar. Each day brings a new dawn and more opportunities to heal. It’s also good to remember seasons come and go—even now, they are heading for spring on the other side of the world. The changing seasons always make way for new life. “You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.” -Mary Oliver #autumn #fallleaves #changingseasons #survivor #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #littleredsurvivor
