Is sexual abuse endemic in the RW Christian community?
Advertisements [?]
After all, they all got these incredible sex hangups, and a whole lot of them have been exposed as pedophiles in recent years. They tend to be fixated at early stages of emotional and cognitive development, given to tantruming in public like Rush and believing in things like an all-powerful, anthropomorphic God, while rejecting any complex, nuanced ideas such as evolution. They seem to have attachment disorders of various kinds, and as a result display little or no ability to take the perspective of others. They clearly don't understand the Love part of the Jesus message. They seem to have internalized harsh-parent introjects, which makes it possible for them to countenance wars, executions, and torture of innocents.

And they rely on DARVO as a primary strategy.

DARVO refers to a reaction perpetrators of wrong doing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. DARVO stands for 'Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.' The perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and attacks the accuser's credibility or even blames the accuser of being the perpetrator of a false accusation.
