THANKS.
That adds another significant bit of info.
IF his parents and home growing up were Pentecostal/Charismatic and strict . . .
the dynamics could be intense.
1. Guilt over homosexual feelings exacerbated by a possibly workaholic dad who was likely at least toooo emotionally distant to help the son really reach out and overcome successfully . . .
2. Not able/willing to measure up in terms of the reference group’s spirituality . . .
3. Not experiencing God’s confirmation—in part because of anger and rebellion born out of the distance between self and dad . . .
4. At some point gets his emotional, sexual energies tweaked by rock music . . .
5. Gets into the “voices” . . . demonic forces flooding in through rock and various other channels . . .
6. Increasingly feels distant from childhood primary reference group . . . is rejected by the YWAM org group he may have TRIED significantly to fit into . . . staff may have not known how to handle him and let him slip through the cracks without high enough ranking; trained enough; discerning enough staff being alert enough and taking the problems serious enough to get the kid the deliverance or whatever other treatments he needed . . .
7. The anger that’s been there from childhood is now tweaked on several levels and dimensions by
A) inner psychodynamics
B) social isolation forces
C) demonic forces
D) possibly drug influences
. . .
What an “accident” waiting to happen!
You’re overanalyzing a bit.
Based on his reporting hearing voices, the kid was likely simply a paranoid schizophrenic, which, while complex, is basically a chemical imbalance. Most schizophrenics aren’t dangerous; some, unfortunately, are.
