  Seriously...

  I wonder how they would be evaluated by a psychologist.

  It has to take an incredible level of self deception and delusion for them to believe that they alone have some special connection to, what they believe is, the most potent force in the universe.

  Clearly, they are very, very sick men.

  Actually, I have a scan of one of the Governing body members.

  The three dots are Jehovah, Jesus and The FDS, which ARE abnormalities in the brain.

  Notice there are no links connecting them.

  The doctor is still working on a diagnosis. Maybe we could help out!

  no more kool aid

  Delusional, grandiose but with a persecutory complex. And all the personality disorders would be represented.

  We don't really meet up alot, but we would to greet you to AR!!

  btw, Little Rock has an awesome bike trail along the river with a walk/ride that goes over the river to N Little Rock.

  Maybe about 30 miles total ride, not sure, sorry.

  And they will be expanding the trail to Pinnacle Mountain, I think making it about 50 miles.

  Very beautiful, you will love it for when you recooperate.

  Profile of the Sociopath

  This website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.

  • Glibness and Superficial Charm
  • Manipulative and Conning
    They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
  • Grandiose Sense of Self
    Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
  • Pathological Lying
    Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
  • Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
    A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
  • Shallow Emotions
    When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
  • Incapacity for Love
  • Callousness/Lack of Empathy
    Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
  • Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
    Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
  • Irresponsibility/Unreliability
    Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
  • Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
    Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
  • Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
    Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
  • Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
    Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

  Recovering...

  Wow. Glad I posed the question. That fits them to a tee. It's really scary if you think about it.
