Well Mr. Fisher this week something landed in my inbox which may explain why the term Conspiracy played such a prominent role in the Fermentation Proceedings. An Oregon Pastor shared a post yesterday which points out how abusers will typically "Blow Up" if their abusive behavior is ever "ratted out" to others by a victim. I have been aware that in most dis-functional families there exists a "don't talk" rule (what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas). But this writing helped me to understand more fully why during Fermentation so much energy was devoted to proving there had been some kind of conspiracy cooked up against WL by the rebellious ones (whistle-blowers).
In my ever deepening study of personality disorders I've noticed many parallels with the infantile behavior of WL on display in the recordings of those 1989-1990 proceedings - not least of them, the extreme paranoia. However I do believe this Pastor's writing really yanked the veil back for me on WL's urgent need to "prove" the existence of a conspiracy against him and his ministry.
Here is a link to that post. The Unpardonable Sin - "You Talked About Me"
Oh, now this might get me in some kind of hot water but I did play around with the content of Pr. Crippen's post (absent his permission) in order to "MOTA-IZE" it for OUR better understanding.

here to listen to the result. I must admit that it did feel pretty good to whack away at that dead horse one more time...
Looking forward to your comments.
