Why I left the Catholic church
Hi everyone, in this video I go over some of the main reasons why I left the catholic church. The main reason has to do with the fact that I got saved in Brooklyn, NY on March 15th, 2013. And that's the only reason why I was even able to see how much of a deception I was in. But other than that, there are some major issues when it comes to the catholic system that I think we all need to aware of. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments.

Why I left the Catholic church
Переглядів 1672 місяці тому
In this video I talk briefly about how I left the catholic church and became a Christian. I was saved on March 14th, 2013 in Brooklyn , NY and ever since then I been back to the catholic church "once" and just couldn't even enter anymore. Even that trip was quite strange. I didn't even know that these so called " churches " were filled with so many pagan and mythological gods pretending to be "...

    Do not call this overprotection. My whole life I was accused of being “overprotectived”. This is about control. Not protection. The mother excuses and justifies their actions by calling it protection. Society and outside observers label it as coddling. I was protected the way a cat protects a mouse and sexually abused while being labeled a momma’s boy. Very invalidating and inaccurate to call it overprotective.

      And it is not about not letting the kid grow up. I was asked to operate at an adult level emotionally at an age I was developmentally unable to. Narcissists view/treat children as selfish adults. Victims of this abuse are arrested because they are traumatized and were asked to grow up to fast. They were NEVER allowed to be children. If you were never allowed to be a child you can never become an adult. This is where reparenting oneself is so important.

    Another example of "Protestantism gets weak Catholics, while Catholics gets strong and informed Protestants" Movies like "The Conclave" are fiction stories and you get your facts from that? IF you haven't watched The Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons (Tom Hanks), maybe you may want to get your facts from those movies, too. If you're honest in studying Catholicism, try searching Scott Hahn or Sam Shamoun. These people are former Prostestants or "born again" that left where you are now.

    You are free to choose what you believe and which church you want to join - it is your life and decision. But if I were you I would listen to both sides on the issue you raised, that is, on salvation. Below are few points to consider whether what you believe now is scriptural or not. 1. Scripture says God saves us or we are saved by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8) AND through sanctification (2 Th. 2:13). Salvation, according to Scripture, is a process and is not by faith alone. 2. How to be saved is stated clearly and consistently in both OT and NT. What makes us deserve hell is our sins. Scripture says the soul that sins shall die (Eze. 18:4) and death is the wages of sin (Rom. 6:23). Death here refers to hell, not physical death - nobody died physically after sinning. According to Scripture it is righteousness that delivers from death (Pro. 10:2, 11:4). “Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live” (Pro. 11:19). “In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death” (Pro. 12:28). Jesus said in Mat. 25:46 that the righteous shall go to eternal life. We do not and cannot become righteous by our own effort but we are made righteous through Christ as it is written in Rom. 5:19. 3. Faith is counted as righteousness (Rom. 4:3) but through doing what is right we are also made righteous as it is written in 1 John 3:7. In Gen. 15:6 what was counted (Hebrew חָשַׁב, Strong H2803) to Abraham for righteousness is faith. But what was counted (the same חָשַׁב) for righteousness to Phinehas in Psalms 106:31 was not faith but what he did as described in verse 30 (in more detail in Num. 25:7-8). When Christ said that the righteous will go to eternal life (Mat. 25:46), their righteousness comes from what they did (Mat. 25:34-35). Again they can do those righteous acts only by grace. 4. According to Scripture we lose righteousness through sinning. Eze. 33:13 says: “Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die." What this verse says was affirmed in Heb. 10:26-27: “For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.” 5. Since we cannot avoid sinning, even after having faith what we must do in that situation is stated in Eze. 33:14-16: "Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live." What must do are (1) turning from sin (Repenting) AND (2) doing what is just and right before we can be back to life. The latter is known as temporal punishment in Catholic teaching, from which we have penance. 6. In John 3:5 Jesus said you must be born again through WATER AND SPIRIT. Here Jesus refers to Baptism through which we receive forgiveness of sins (Acts. 2:38). 7. The movie "Conclave" is fiction and caricature, no difference than that of Dan Brown "Da Vinci Code" where Jesus was depicted to be married with Mary Magdalene and they had descendants who survive even until today but lived in secrecy as they were hunted down by the Catholic Church.

      Hi Navneet, if this wasn't by one of your parents, then I would do that. But if it was then I would be cautious because there is a chance they could isolate you and ignore you -to protect the "family structure". Depending on how old you are, I would say be wise with either decisions.

      It depends on which country you are in. But your uncle needs to be in jail. So ask your parents a hypothetical question about what they would do if something like this happened. If they say they will call cops then tell them . But if they say they wanna push it under a rug, then don't tell them. In that case, go to the local police and file a complaint.

      @jomymatthews 4 місяці тому

      Sure, I will work on a part 2 for this. But enmeshment , just like narcissism cuts one off from his/her authentic self and thus puts them in a lower frequency or "dorsal vagal complex". Ultimately it's all about living a life not knowing who one truly is because of lack of parental nurture and authentic care while growing up. But once you reach a certain level of healing and start getting in touch with your real self , things can start getting brighter and brighter.

After her passing away that place was taken by husband 's sister...Now sister controls his life, emotionally blackmails him,gives him validation for his wrong behaviour and in return he gives her validation and monetary help. Needless to mention,my family life has been hell.My husband shows extreme narcissistic behaviour.Justifies each and every action of his by blame shifting.Refuses to get therapy. thanks for this video.Could you help regarding how can I make him realise how he is being used in these enmeshed relationships,that has totally ruined our own family life?

    This is one of the best explanations of enmeshment/ dissociation that I have watched on UA-cam.

      Dissociation is very real and could possibly steal years of one's life if subjected to CI. Thanks for your kind words!

    Allergies. Mothers like to handicap their boys with allergies so they never participate in competitive sports and are terrorized by peanuts and ambient air. It stops them from group/vacation activities like sailing, scuba diving, hiking. I wouldn't be surprised if they suffer panic attacks and have trouble flying. The best part is, no woman dreams of a husband crippled with allergies and anxieties so mommy will never be replaced.

      The psychosomatic aspect of this type of abuse cannot be minimized. Very true. Appreciate your comment.

    Is there always a sexual component in enmeshment?

    • @jomymatthews

      Yes. I would say so. But narcissism "without CI" could also be enmeshing. But it's very hard to detect since CI is very insidious.

    I don't know what's wrong with my mother, but she's certainly somewhere on the "Cluster B" spectrum. I have always been enmeshed with her (went no contact 3 months ago), but when I was with her, it was always an imbalanced relationship. I was still always less than her and needed to be obedient without question -- or she would break into a rage. So I always just shut down. Your videos are very well done. Thank you for your insight!

      Enmeshment can very well coexist with either plain narcissism or covert narcissism, which is tougher to identify. Congratulations on going no contact! That's a big step in the right direction! Glad it was helpful.
