Do tell, please. I can't bear to watch him again.
What’s that important sentence?
Full context of his quote without the deceptive edit.
You know what that's called? Gaslighting. You know why he "clarified himself?" Becasue he knows all too well, how horrible what he said actually is. So he spins it, to try to make himself not sound like the demon, that posses and controls him.
Which is exactly what these people have mastered to know exactly how to manipulate and control their slaves.
Ok, I understand what you’re saying but think about this…why did he have to make such a strong negative point like that to begin with? I’m sure most won’t appreciate his unloving statement even though he follows it up by saying something so sweet and positive.
One should not make a statement such as Lett did that needed clarification. He made the statement for impact and to draw attention to himself of saying something shocking. It is a tactical manner of speaking to gain attention of the audience, but to make such a statement it should not be said as truth and then explained unless the speaker is adept and skilled in narrative (and which it is safe say that Lett is not) and can put the point into context. As it was, this man set a pattern of thought, and critically, a viewpoint that is both demeaning and dangerous to parent and child alike. It was a completely inappropriate and immature, dangerous comment and demonstrated a very superficial insight into cognitive development. No amount of ’explanation’ can excuse such a statement. Splane’s talk of ‘extended generations’ is another example that demonstrates the level of incredulity in the thinking of these men. In both cases, it has to be held in the mind that the listeners are ‘asleep’ spiritually. They take these throwaway statements as truth and that is the very reason it was said in the first place. If Lett was as wise as he thinks he is, he would never have said it.
Very good and insightful scripture
This reminds me of what we call a "backhanded compliment." And the more I make the comparison between what Lett did and what is a "backhanded compliment". I'll define it in my own way, and then I'll quote the way it is defined from a source. The expression "back handed compliment", refers to someone including an insult with a compliment. It's a way of hiding your real feelings because you know they are unjustified, by acknowledging a person's good deed, but including the thing you didn'6t like about what they did. I think of it like this, and perhaps this is the origin of the expression, "back handed" it's a slap with the back of your hand, but with a nice word of the other side of that slap. As the dictionary defines it, "An insult disguised as a compliment."
Very true and a good scriptural thought. Thanks.
I’m not really sure if I should laugh or be offended. I would suggest an alteration: Lett the little enemies of God come to me 😉
Good one 👍 😆
That’s exactly what I said. We are not born enemies therefore how can babies be “little enemies of God” ???
A child abuser of whatever sort now has a video of a leader explaining why they deserve to be abused.
