Thank you for hitting it straight on. The psychology/pathology behind Jane is the key. Why do we choose the authorities we choose? What need did we have that Jane was able to meet? Though it was at a terribly terribly high price to pay but there is more to it than just meeting Janes needs but in truth our own needs were being met. I know why I was there. Keep up the good work! love, Arthur

Great article! By substituting group names and leaders’ names we see this fits our experiences to a “T”.

As for the “Why did we stay and do what we did?” question, the answer is simple:

LOVE

We love(d) God and thought loving them was equal to serving God. They used our love against us for their own self-profiting reasons. It is a difficult reality to face having been used; but once we accept this fact it helps clear things up with respect to motives (theirs and ours) and actions (theirs and ours). Like any other user, a love-thief mimics the phraseology of the victims stating: “I love you.” knowing the victims will interpret that statement as meaning what it does when they say “I love YOU.”–unconditional love. But truly the love-thief only means “I love what you DO for me.” The true test of the love-thief’s statement comes when you stop performing to their standards or stop supplying their “fix”. Typically the love-thief will upbraid, ridicule, or ostracize you, proving they did not in fact “love” YOU; they only loved what you DID for them.
At least, that’s what we think…
