[I waited 45 seconds and actually posted something substantial--Ed.]
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.
There is, evidently, a serious critical period going on or off the drugs for many people . . .
wherein violence is an increased potentiality for unknown reasons.
But, yeah, he had plenty going on regardless of the drugs . . . to trip him into violence.
Living in a world full of acronyms, I wish you folks wouldn’t use them. Please.
SSRI???
One does wonder about childhood sexual abuse . . . and what is he labeling that and by whom.
And what is reality vs fantasy vs demonized ‘astral trips.’
Hey... guess what? You’re one of those people who see conspiracy everywhere. Blackops. You have no IDEA what “Black Operations” are so quit being a dumbass about this.
YES.
The exaggerated sense of self-importance
is pretty standard for folks from flawed attachment backgrounds.
FATHERS who FAIL to EMPHATICALLY, DEEPLY EMOTIONALLY AFFIRM THAT THEIR CHILDREN—ESPECIALLY SONS—ARE WORTH AIR AND TAKING UP SPACE . . . set such sons up clawing for, screaming for some proof, evidence that they are WORTH breathing air and taking up space. Such efforts can easily become extreme and at least exaggerated.
Thanks.
What a litany of personal horror—regardless of how much of it was real vs fantasized.
Thats a key point. He mentions in his writings that many people reached out to him in these churches. Even those people on that message board tried to get him to seek help. He wouldnt go. He seems like someone who would only be happy if everything went his way and would always bite the hand that fed him. Everyone, including his parents, probably gave up on him and he became isolated. He probably did nothing but sit on is puter all day and wallowing in his own self pity over past social wrongs.

Sounds like a high probability that your description is particularly apt and accurate, to me.
I’ve known a number of families . . . who knows if this one is similar . . .
wherein the father was a workaholic . . .
the mother was more than a little mentally, emotionally twisted . . . isolated . . .
developed at least an emotionally incestuous relationship with the son—typically the youngest son . . .
but just physical abuse—if that’s “all” it was . . . would be more than sufficient to twist even a nonsensitive child into lots of mental, emotional horrors.
. . .
SOOOOOOOOOOOO IMPRESSIVE.
Perhaps you should put yourself up for some award somewhere.
Sigh.
It sure is hard to find a balanced healthy church . . .
and even the best churches have . . .
goodness . . . flawed humans running around loose in it.
Sadly . . . do so many in leadership have to be SOOOOOOOO FLAWED?
Has long been a troubling concern of mine as well.
Perhaps the issue is FOCUS ON GOD not on flawed humans.
A teen pastor used to say . . . IF A HYPOCRIT IS BETWEEN YOU AND GOD, HE’S CLOSER TO GOD THAN YOU ARE.
Too true.
Nevertheless . . . very troubling and troublesome.

I also came to the realization that many of the christians and christian ministries who CONDEMNED these conspiracy freaks and who condemned pentecostalism(such as hank hanegraph) were the same fake hypocrites everywhere else. They were SELLING their anti-pentecostal books and ministries for money too........
= = =
Such a perceptiveness is hard for many Christian leaders to handle at all, much less constructively. Sadly.
Sigh.
Yeah. Read that one.
Incredible.
Sigh.
What a load of twisted pain.
. . . self-pity etc. . . .
Not at all a fun world he had to contend with . . . and created/ responded to.
YWAM is a WONDERFUL Christian org.
Like every org . . . it has flawed people in it. Sometimes very flawed people.
No different than any other human org. . . . though on average, I’d risk my life to folks in YWAM way before doing so with average folks in a LONG list of other Christian orgs.
SSRI???

About what Id expected in terms of his ideations, social experiences, perspectives etc.
Thanks for the confirmation.
“””
Wait, those were his words not mine. Most of those “experiences” were probably made up or exaggerated.
There is no indication of that. But he mentions Haggard in multiple posts, focusing on his alleged methamphetamine usage. And he mentions that Haggard was his mom's favorite minister.
Thanks.
