Your right there is NO cure for the socio path. They are master manipulators who are liars, cons, intelligent, and can be quite charming. The scarest part is that they truly have NO conscience, they do not care when they hurt someone physically or mentally. They are out to get what they want out of life doing what they have to do to get it. They don't look at the world the same way you and I do. They don't fit into society so they lie, skeem, manipulate their way through it the best that they can. They even actually believe their own lies after awhile. Your friend is going to have a hard time being convinced to leave the power of this woman. Have you heard of Jim Jones? (Guyana Tragedy). Look it up on the net.. Very interesting info on a socio path running a cult.. I wish you luck.. your going to need it..

Join the Moonies and become Sung Yung Moons right hand man.  That might be a way to do it.  He thinks he is the new messiah and seeks world domination too.\nhttp://www.perkel.com/politics/moonies/\nhttp://www.perkel.com/politics/moonies/1earth4.htm\nhttp://www.freedomofmind.com/resourcecenter/groups/m/moonies/\nI could list more info sources but a quick search will find you more than you ever wanted to know.\nJoin a cult and become it's leader if you dare.

Your pastor is irresponsible for telling you that!! In fact I would go so far to say that his own 'satanic' ego said that to you, certainly and most definitely NOT God or Jesus!! (there is no power except God's --- 'satan' is the human ego which worships itself, but it has no true power and it is MORTAL, not eternal. Geez Christian literalists create an all powerful God out of Satan. Perfect Love casts out all fear. As long as you truly know this, and you will when you ask to receive the Holy Spirit directly, you will fear NOTHING. YOUR fear is the only thing that gives 'satan' power to 'act' in the world through you)\n\nGod is Love and perfect Love casts out all fear. Was your pastor aligned in the Love of God in telling you that, or the fear of the lower nature, which is based in luciferian principles? Jesus warned of the false prophets. These are the ones that create a 'god' of their own liking, a 'god' that controls the people by scaring them into believing. This is what CULTS do. It is a brainwashing tecqnique. If your church is scaring you, then get away as fast as you can, because that is NOT FROM GOD!!! \n\nThere is no such thing as luck. See every bad experience as an opportunity for learning. If you listen inside you will hear what God wants you to learn. When we don't listen, the same experience will come over and over till we 'get it.'You do not need anyone between you and God!! God wants a direct relationship with you. Ask for Light and know that you will receive it.\n\nBlessings to you and your family. May you receive God's Light and Love directly into your heart, to cast out all your fear. God Loves you and wants you at peace!!

Remember that your own perceptions of relating to Jesus are yours personally,and do not belong to the church. If someone hounds you,just tell them you try to keep it personal.

welcome to the club sister.  I don't think you have a problem at all.  I think that you are a free thinking and open minded person.  It's when you feel that pressure to conform and be like everyone else and resist it, that you truly begin to gain a greater perspective of reality.  I suggest you read "the herd" chapter from Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil".  This is the book in which the phrase was coined "God is dead".  Don't let that scare you.  What I think he really meant to teach was that organized religion and the God they invent is dead.  He challenges you, in the chapter entitled "the herd", to ask yourself if all these things that people are telling you that "God" has said are indeed from "God".  Or, are they something made up by leaders of church to influence the masses opinions to get a desired social result.  That result is control.  Don't let anyone but God control you.  He wouldn't force control on you.  He doesn't want to control you.  He offers suggestions and you choose freely.  To me though, all this damnation and hellfire are not products of Christ at all.  Christ is like the sweetest friend I have ever had.  I don't live right at all.  I have done bad things in my life.  Yet, he has never left me.  People, on the other hand, have behaved terribly...  and for that matter... so have I at times.  I decided that I would not be controlled by "the herd" either.  People will accuse you of rebellion.  Rebellion it may be, but against whom?  God?  I don't think so...  The "herd", definitely.  I had to separate myself from them, and while it is lonesome at times, it is at least free.  Knowing God should never feel like being in a social or political prison in which you are interrogated and punished.  They're like religious nazis and they have confused social control with God.  Welcome to freedom sister.  You may find groups that you "fit" with...  I never did.  This is the tragedy of the genuine individual.  Perhaps you should start your own "group" on yahoo groups.  If you do, let me know, and I will join.  This topic is certainly worthy of discussion.  Don't feel like you are alone.  There are many, many, people who have went through this...

The best way to get this guy's goat would be not to react to him at all.  Look him in the eye, listen to him and do not show a flicker of response.  Do not respond to the finger snapping and try to avoid getting in the position where he can physically push you aside.  He really needs some help and the behavior is abusive.  Is there a crisis center you can call?  They would be able to give you very specific actions to take.  Take a day off of work and do some research.  Hang in there.

Stop going where they go. \nMove to another town. \nHide under a big rock. \nBecome a hermit and never go outside.\nRun away screaming whenever you see them.

Hi there,\nI can help you with this. I am a Scientologist myself and also have been a Church member of staff.\nThere is a standard routing form which your friend's organisation\nshould be providing. The fact that who ever your friend is dealing with\nhas not provided it is totally against Church policy , since if he needs or wants to leave staff, he should not be prevented from doing so, or made to feel wrong in any way.\nI suggest that your friend write an Ethics Report on who ever is responsible for this problem and make sure he sends a copy to this persons senior, or as high up the Church channels as he needs to go to get this quickly resolved.\nThe policy reference for how to write this report and correctly route it is: HCO Policy Letter 1st May 1965 " Staff Member Reports"\nYour friend should read this reference which will be found in the Basic Staff Hat  OEC Volume 0. Pick which ever  type of report applies and then write up the situation fully and route the various copies as instructed on the communication channels that should be in place in the organisation.\nIf there is still no quick resolution, and he then leaves on his own determinism. ( which is in fact his basic right anyway)\nThis report will be on file for his future defence, should he need it.\nI advise him to make an additional copy for himself and keep it, incase\nhis report does not make it into his own staff ethics file.

I would just deal with it. If they didnt belittle or impose their beliefs on you, then why is there a problem? there is nothing you can do to change their ideas, just as there is nothing they can do to change yours.

Spank him. That should be sufficient to bring back all the religious school nightmares and butt ramming at the hands of priests. He may even say, "Thank you sir, may I have another?" over and over again.\n\nShould be good for a chuckle among your coworkers.

You may be in the wrong church, mine still preachs about his evil ways. He is as real now as ever. Speak to your pastor about how you feel, we don't sugar coat anything.

Man, I was going through the samething with this really obnoxious girl once. I feel your pain. my plan of dealing with people like him is to stay clear of them. It might not be easy at first but once you keep avoiding and stay clear of him overtime he won't be a problem, and talk to your teacher about changing your seat, tell him/her that you have problems with this kid and that you don't get along with him that should help, and if that doesn't work well, you before taking things into your own hands try the plan first.

I'd say to note all of the people you used to know, talk about how good it is to see them and comment (positively) on any changes you notice. Perhaps you could tell humorous or heart-warming anecdotes about the pastor, deacons, other leaders or other members, depending on your relationship with them. etc. And if you're uncomfortable, you can always just say no...

Stay home. Do not let them control your mind. Use lots of alunimum foil. Be brave and God bless.

That's easy. Give him absolute ZERO attention. I mean completely ignore him. Even if he is in your face don't give him the time of day. Don't look at him and don't show any annoyance. Smile and continue to enjoy your friends and especially smile and be normal whenever he is around. Eventually he will realize that he has no effect and will have no choice but to abandon his plight. Once you put your game into action you will discover that this really works. You will actually begin to enjoy (to yourself) him becoming inferior to your being superior.\n\nHis is truly a mind game. Its up to you to show him yours is on a higher plane.
