Well, I got all fed up with the insanity, hypocrisy, conflicting doctrines, the and lack of absolute answers in regards to “salvation,” heaven and hell and other theological issues, the child abuse, brainwashing, lies, gossip, scandals, threats and fear mongering. I got tired of always hearing “oooohh, you’re saved by grace, not by works!” “Everybody loves you! Jesus loves you!” only to hear about how I was going to hell for watching “The simpsons” or could lose my salvation and could never be certain if 30 years from now I might lose it due to some odd sin and die in an accident and end up in this eternal hell preached to us day and night.
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.
