I believe in order to be a help to someone, you have to understand at least something about his or her problem or have experienced it to some degree. Something I have never really understood is the Paranoia that some have. Even the paranoia that the family has and has had for as long as I can remember. What are they afraid off ?? Granted we all have our fears, I guess, but the extreme is what I am talking about.
I looked up the definition of Paranoia and I was quite surprised by the definition “ a mental disorder, characterized by delusions “. If as some say that those fears are very real, which may be so, but they are not coming from the Lord.
This seem to be one of the MAIN motivations by some that post and also by the family. Where are the roots of all this (obviously from the devil) but what did he use?
I was in the family for many years, but I can not ever remember having such paranoia (except when flying in an airplane). I was always disgusted with the security crap, like we were so important that the whole world was out to get us. I can see taking some precautions, but it was really to the extreme.
What about Faith or Trusting in the Lord to Keep You ? I am just trying to understand better, in order to be a better help to others.
