Read MoreIf anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy,…
Read MoreA very common trait in a RASN (reviler, abuser, sociopath, narcissist) is their lack of love or empathy for animals. Thinking back over the many, many RASNs I have had the sad "privilege" of knowing, I can see this void as a consistent trait. My wife and I have had…
Read MoreMost of you know that when a victim of an abuser (RASN = reviler, abuser, sociopath, narcissist) tells someone about the abuse she (or he) is experiencing, they often meet with disbelief. They are dismissed as over reacting to things that surely are not as bad as all of that.…
