The Exclusive Brethren has enjoyed sweet victories in the Family Court before, but none sweeter than this. Despite all that is known about theBrethren's methods, the court has denied a father in Tasmania any access to his children for reasons that boil down, essentially, to this: he left the sect. Six years of litigation in the case of Peter and Elspeth had won the father about six w

It seems to me the Dave McKay must be a quintessential narcissist, and that he has had inflicted upon him over the last couple of years, a huge amount of what is termed narcissistic injury. He must find this to be extremely uncomfortable and is looking to lash out. He is reacting (as is typical for the narcissist) with hostililty, out of his need to humiliate, degrade, and generally control oth
