NO ONE. That's the one trait that's probably most common to spiritually abusive groups/family cults.

There's a lot of scripture you have to read sideways, or just outright discard, for patriocentricity/CI to work...and that much more that they seem to apply only in one direction: outwardly.Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596138376570543467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-81896239493485775542010-07-01T22:55:56.536-04:002010-07-01T22:55:56.536-04:00"But you are not to be called rabbi, for you ..."But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Mt. 23:8-12) <br />These groups you speak of often mockingly disparage Catholics based upon this passage in Matthew, but miss how it applies to their own practices in their own groups and families.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-70460814100797391492010-07-01T20:27:06.100-04:002010-07-01T20:27:06.100-04:00Yes, Lord, knock Dagon's head off again, the s...Yes, Lord, knock Dagon's head off again, the sooner the better.shadowspringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172112981244682382noreply@blogger.com
