Why are many leaders narcissists?

[Dr. Brenice Aliyah Fireangel]

This man of God died an untimely death. Do you think he made it in?

[Evangelist Altha Fugett]

A degree of narcissism is considered normal, where an individual has a healthy self-regard and realistic aspirations. Many children of God have a faith so strong that produces a confidence that surpasses the world's understanding.

This confidence is many times mistaken for haughtiness or egotism. What attributes are you speaking of?

[Dr. Brenice Aliyah Fireangel]

This is what I am referring to.

Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:

* Believing that you're better than others
* Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
* Exaggerating your achievements or talents
* Expecting constant praise and admiration
* Believing that you're special
* Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
* Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
* Taking advantage of others
* Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
* Being jealous of others
* Believing that others are jealous of you
* Trouble keeping healthy relationships
* Setting unrealistic goals
* Being easily hurt and rejected
* Having a fragile self-esteem
* Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional

Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.

When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may also seek out others you think have the same special talents, power and qualities — people you see as equals. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.

But underneath all this grandiosity often lies a very fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.

now sister with those attributes being displayed I have a problem with the followers, I know some follow this type, how is my question???????????????

[Dr. Brenice Aliyah Fireangel]

Of course, My sister

I am not speaking about most leaders. There are many , who do not feel it sin to walk over others to get where they want to go. They use whomever, whatever means to accomplish a feat. They use material from others and build from other's hard work; with no conscious or remorse for other people nor the harm which their actions may foster.

Leaders are born, not made, I believe. There is always room for training, and skill building, but some leaders want to be leaders for the wrong reasons and their motives are not pure.

Jesus is the greatest leader, ever lived, but he took on the role of servant, because he knows that one must have a servant's heart to be a great leader.

These attributes are what I am speaking of. Many of the leaders today, lack true, godly humility.

We have to define what is holy and what is "divine". The word says "Be Holy for I am holy", not be divine because of desire.

they can desire all they want it ain't happening.

These leaders fall, Jim Jones, Karesh, Pearson, Father Divine, Jund As-Sama's leader, Ahmad al-Hasan, Charlie Manson....

My problem is still with the followers, if I go to hell it will NOT be because I was led there

[Dr. Brenice Aliyah Fireangel]

I know, that's right ! Amen.


Most do not seek the face of God for themselves and this is what many followers miss. When they face the Lord, He will not judge the individual by what the leader did or did not do, They will be judged on what they (themselves) did or did not do.
