The key term to describe a narcissist is “self-aggrandizement.” All of us to one degree or another manifest some narcissistic characteristics, particularly when we are younger or in our youth, but most of us grow out of it as we mature.

There are those, though, who because of their unique temperament, combined with improper upbringing and training that often includes trauma, who develop warped belief structures about themselves and others by their teen years. Unfortunately they not only do not grow out of it, but they become firmly entrenched and concerned with “Me, My, I, and Myself.” They live out a life of “It’s all about Me: my wishes, my desires, my kingdom come...” In essence another person with a certifiable personality disorder is unleashed upon the world.

One mistaken belief is that a narcissist is in love with himself, but in reality he is in love with an image of himself– an image he creates and believes about himself based upon his perception of how he perceives that other people view him.

Unfortunately, to love only images renders the individual unable to really love and care for the person who is behind the image. The
narcissist does not really love himself or others around him. He loves his projected image and the image he projects onto others (more about this later).
A personality disorder is a repeatable pattern of abnormal behavior that doesn’t change even though it upsets and causes emotional trouble with other people at work and in personal relationships. “It is not limited to episodes of mental illness, and it is not caused by drug or alcohol use, head injury, or illness. There are about a dozen different behavior patterns classified as personality disorders by DSM-IV. All the personality disorders show up as deviations from normal in one or more of the following areas:
1. cognition– i.e., perception, thinking, and interpretation of oneself, other people, and events
2. affectivity– i.e., emotional responses (range, intensity, lability, appropriateness)
3. interpersonal functions
4. impulsivity.” (Ashmun)

Why do narcissists love churches?
Narcissists often see church as a valuable source of attention. ... Just like a leech, narcissists gain their energy from the admiration of those around them. Church is the perfect place for the narcissist to be able to parade their accomplishments and spiritual sincerity to others.

Who conducted the research?

It all began with believing the MESSIAH has overthrown the Father and set his own Salvation and laws even though MESSIAH himself taught nothing of such. It began when we equated MESSIAH with the Father even though he himself said otherwise.

Why are you now surprised that your pastors are walking in the steps of your fake white Jesus? Why shouldn't they become gods, superstars and above the law?

You are wrong, 100% of pastors are the God of their members. Pastor/Member relationship = Master/Slave relationship OR Smart-Leader/Stupid-Followers relationship.
