Isaiah 3: 12: When The Father Is Overthrown and the Boys Become Dysfunctional
"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over
them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy
the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3: 12
"But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work
wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred
up." I Kings 21: 25
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding.
6.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3: 5-6
Christian faith is based upon a belief that God the Father is
sovereign and that his Word is absolute. In order to diminish and
eventually destroy faith, the Christian belief that God the Father is
the absolute patriarchal authority must be done away with. The
patriarchal authority of the husband and father in the family is a
reflection of God's patriarchal authority.
"For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the
same is my brother, and sister, and mother." Matthew 12:50
"Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and
we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto
the Father of spirits, and live?" Hebrews 12:9
We have been living in the age of deception for decades, and people have
become used to being deceived, and some even like to be deceived. The age of
deception came on the heels of the rise of the celebrity culture in the U.S..
Before the secular celebrity system spread to politics, sports, the
arts, the military, education,
business and to Christianity, it was confined to Hollywood film stars.
Richard Schickel in his book, Intimate Strangers: The Culture of
Celebrity, 1985, says the celebrity system began in the period of
1895 to 1920 with early Hollywood movie stars. Some of these early
celebrities of film were Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas
Fairbanks and William S. Hart. The American celebrity system
did not really get going until the twenties and it gained momentum right
after World War II.
There are a large number of Christian celebrities of our time, many of whom are
still living. Some include Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell,
Pat Robertson, Kenneth Copeland, Tim LaHaye, Grant Jeffrey, John
Hagee, Robert Schuller, Jimmy Swaggart,
and Hal Lindsey. Almost all of these Christian celebrities teach the
pre-tribulation rapture theory, and that God has two distinct peoples, the Jews and the Church, that
Christians cannot be Israel and that the Jews, saved or unsaved,
remain the chosen of God. Rick Warren is a very important Christian
Celebrity for our time now. The celebrity presents an image, and appearance, a facade, which is
deceptive.
All kinds of deception has been going on, in government,business, education,
the media and in Christianity. A deception which has gone on since at least
the early fifties in this country is that of Transformational Marxism. This is
not the Bolshevism of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. And it has not been called
Marxism. This movement was once called Political Correctness, and it was part of
the Left in the universities. But the movement was bigger that the Leftist Political
Correctness of the seventies and eighties.
Transformational Marxism remains part of the Left, and is associated with the Democratic Party, though bigger than it. There is its counterpart on the
Right, allied with the Republicans, which is the Neoconservative Movement. The Neocons have
not used American psychology as much as the Transformational Marxists and remain more politically oriented, and perhaps are not as decepive as the Transformational Marxists. But they claim to be conservatives though they have a history of being Marxists. The Neocons are more overtly supportive of the Nation of Israel and of Zionism.
The Transformational Marxist Theodore W. Adorno
in his 1950 book, The Authoritarian Personality, Adorno said that
Christianity and the patriarchal family must be done away with,
because both cause the authoritarian personality and fascism. Being a
Marxist, but not a Bolshevik, Adorno, and his buddies in the Frankfurt
School, had the dialectic mind, and used the dialectic to oppose
fascism, while deceptively promoting their form of collectivism and
totalitarian Marxism. But they didn't call it Marxism, especially not
in the United States. They called it "Democracy," and were perhaps
the forerunners of the present day "Democratic" Party.
"Once the earthly family is discovered to be the secret of the
heavenly family, the former must be destroyed (annihilated), in theory
and in practice." Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4
�The authoritarian family becomes the factory in which the state�s
structure and ideology are molded.� Wilhelm Reich The Mass Psychology of
Fascism.
�The conception of the ideal family situation for the child:
uncritical obedience to the father and elders, pressures directed
unilaterally from above to below, inhibition of spontaneity and
emphasis on conformity to externally imposed values.� Theodore. W.
Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality
�Psychoanalysis must treat religion as a neurosis.� Norman O. Brown
Life Against Death
�God is conceived more directly after a parental image and thus as a
source of support and as a guiding and sometimes punishing
authority.� Theodor W. Adorno The Authoritarian Personality (1950)
The counterculture of the sixties and seventies introduced a kind of
group think to a generation of Americans and a few born before 1945,
and an ideal of group conformity which was not fully known by those
who took part in this new group think at the time. They were more
interested in becoming "liberated" from the patriarchal family and
patriarchal authority of God in Christianity. But remember the Woodstock Festival in 1969 as the experience of group think, and the many Hippie assemblies to hear rock bands with all the pot smoking.
�The real nature of man is the totality of social relations.� Karl
Marx Thesis on Feuerbach # 6
�It is not individualism that fulfills the individual, on the
contrary it destroys him. Society is the necessary framework through
which freedom and individuality are made realities� only in a
socialist society.� Karl Marx
�The individual is emancipated in the social group.� �Freud
commented that only through the solidarity of all the participants
could the sense of guilt be assuaged.� Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death.
�Only within a social context individual man is able to realize
his own potential as a rational being.� Joseph O�Malley Karl Marx
Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right'
"One of the most fascinating aspects of group therapy is that
everyone is born again, born together in the group." �Few individuals,
as Asch has shown, can maintain their objectivity [belief in parent or
God] in the face of apparent group unanimity; ...� Irvin D. Yalom
Theory and Practice and Group Psychotherapy
�The individual accepts the new system of values and beliefs by
accepting belongingness to the group.� Kurt Lewin in Kenneth Benne
Human Relations in Curriculum Change
Kurt Lewin was the Marxist social psychologist who began the Group
Dynamics movement, which, among other things, taught the importance of
group cohesiveness in changing human values, beliefs, attitudes and
behavior.
The Group Dynamics movement operated behind the appearance of being
science, that is, experimental social psychology, by guys like Leon Festinger,
Stanley Schachter, Kurt Back and other social psychologists of the forties and
fifties like J.C. Gilchrist at Wisconsin. But Group Dynamics fed into a knowledge
of how to create small groups to be cohesive, and an understanding that in order
to use small groups to change people's beliefs, attituides and behavior, the grooup
must be cohesive. This knowledge was soon used in the encounter group
movement of the sixties and seventies, which got going first in California, but was
led by psychologists like Carl Rogers and William Coulson from the Midwest and the
University of Wisonsin.
"Small groups are the most effective way of closing the back door of
your church." Rick Warren
Rick Warren is not a member of the Frankfurt School or an American
psychologist Transformational Marxist, but is now a leader of the huge
number of false teachers who have changed the Gospel in order to build
huge congregations and the mega church.
Much of American Psychology, especially that which comes out of Freud
or out of behaviorism over-emphasizes and makes all important man's
flesh, and
follows or supports the Transformational Marxist bent which wants to
overthrow God as the Father figure and wants to diminish the family
because the traditional family has been the foundation of
Christianity, and its patriarchal paradigm, "it is written," "two
plus two is always four and cannot be another number," etc.
Psychology exalts the flesh of man, especially man's pride, calling it
self-esteem and self-actualization (Rogers and Maslow), above man
created as a living soul.
Psychoanalysis from Freud stressed the flesh and advocated a revolt
against the Father authority figure. Behaviorism in psychology, from
Wundt, to Watson and to B.F. Skinner with his Skinner box psychology
all pointed toward a reduced man who is nothing but desires, feelings
and conditioning. Wilhelm Wundt did not deal with classical
and operant conditioning as did John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.
Wundt did early work on sensory psychology, which was another form of

Excellent article -- thank you.
Here are some highlights:
"Christian faith is based upon a belief that God the Father is
sovereign and that his Word is absolute. In order to diminish and
eventually destroy faith, the Christian belief that God the Father is
the absolute patriarchal authority must be done away with. The
patriarchal authority of the husband and father in the family is a
reflection of God's patriarchal authority."
:applause: Amen!! This has been the enemy tactic since the garden of Eden- to undermine the Sovereignty of God. Anything that in any way impugns God's sovereignty is a vile false doctrine straight from the pit of hell. The most common form that this takes is the promotion of the "free will" of man - exalting man's sovereignty. One does not have to look too far to see that where this humanist idea prevails, the families fall apart - the entire familial structure that has been ordained by God is impeached and women and young men become the "lords" and "rulers". Wherever you see this, you see the curse of God being applied.
"Rick Warren is not a member of the Frankfurt School or an American psychologist Transformational Marxist, but is now a leader of the huge number of false teachers who have changed the Gospel in order to build huge congregations and the mega church."
:applause: Amen!! This man is syncretist as are many other false teachers like him. They commingle the profane with the Holy and thereby deceive their hearers with false notions of "love, peace and unity"
But what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
"Psychology exalts the flesh of man, especially man's pride, calling it self-esteem and self-actualization (Rogers and Maslow), above man created as a living soul."
:applause: Amen!! Humanistic psychology is driving the mind-set of most so-called "Christians" in the churches these days. They have substituted anti-christian principles for Biblical principles - they have exchanged the truth of God for a lie.

Dean Gotcher has studied several psychologists and psychiatrists
who have helped to develop the dialectic which first came from Hegel.
Gotcher has lectures on self psychologists A.H. Maslow and Carl
Rogers, and on psychiatrist and group therapist Irvin Yalom,
Erick Fromm, Norman O. Brown and Herbert Marcuse, who is more like a
sociologist than a psychologist.
Benjamin Bloom was an educational psychologist who wrote volumes on
the taxonomies of educational goals. His system has been used in the
certification of all public school and other school teachers for
decades. Bloom was a Transformational Marxist who had great influence
on the American education system - and all this could only happen
because American society is organized in a top-down way, so that the
elites at the top have control over the entire society.
Benjamin Bloom, who wrote the two volume book on the Taxonomy
of Educational Goal Objectives, by which all teachers must be
certified, said "�We recognize the point of view that
truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and
fast truths which exist for all time and places.� (Benjamin Bloom, et
al., Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain)
Dean Gotcher found a footnote in Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives Book 2, Affective Domain, on the "Weltanschaaung" or world
view Bloom was following. On
page 166 of this volume Bloom acknowledges the influence of Theodore W. Adorno
and Eric Fromm on the psychological theory, philosophy or ideology
contained in his two volumes, Educational Goal taxonomies. Book II
Affective Domain p. 166. Bloom used the German word Weltanschaaung on this
page of his book to refer to the philosophy underlying Bloom's
educational goals.
�1. Cf. Erich Fromm, 1941; T. W. Adorno et al., 1950� Benjamin Bloom,
Book II Affective Domain p. 166. This is Bloom's footnote
acknowledging the influence on his thinking from Erich Fromm and
Theodore W. Adorno. Adorno was an original Frankfurter Marxist who
posed as a personality and social psychologist in writing his 1950
book, The Authoritarian Personality, in which he claimed that the
authoritarian personality and fascism are caused by the family and
Christianity. Erich Fromm was a Transformational Marxist psychologist
and close associate of the Frankfurters.
"In the eyes of the dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for
all time, nothing is absolute or sacred." (Karl Marx)
For Transformational Marxism and the dialectic mind there are no absolute
truths and no absolute morals. Everything is relative and subject to
dialogue within
the dialectic process, with more emphasis on relationships and
feelings than on truth
or morals.
The present II Timothy type Christian community (II Timothy 3) does not follow Marx in his
rejection of God, but it does make use of the dialectic procedure from
Hegel and Marx and refined by several American psychologists.
Dean Gotcher says the Mega Church movement cannot
exist without the dialectic church. That is, Psychologized
Transformational Marxism invaded the American church a number of decades
ago.
The Transformational Marxists, who were lodged in our major
universities after the Frankfurt School got run out of Nazi Germany,
set out on their "long march through the institutions" soon after the
publication of The Authoritarian Personality (1950) by
Marxist-Freudian Theodore W. Adorno, a Frankfurter. We then got the
counterculture, with the drug and hippie movements at its core and
many allied movements that changed an entire generation, the Baby
Boomers. Some of these allied movements were the homosexual,
feminist, lesbian, and self psychology movements. The drug movement
and the Hippies rejected patriarchal Christianity, especially Christian
morality. But the feminist, lesbian and homosexual movements were more
focused on diminishing the patriarchal American family. These
movements, along with
the self psychology of A.H. Maslow and Carl Rogers, which was brought
into the counterculture, helped greatly to "kill" the American
father figure, and
the leadership of the male in the heterosexual relationship.
About twenty-five years ago the Christian book publishers were
not interested in manuscripts on a Biblical view of the counterculture and
its rejection of Christianity, which we later came to know was associated with Transformational Marxism.. There was no Internet back then, and self-publishing
was only in its very beginning. At that time, the counterculture had been
going on since the early to mid sixties, about 20 years. The Christian book
editors and almost all Christian leaders did not realize then that the
counterculture marked a fundamental shift in thinking, from absolute truth and
absolute morality to a reliance upon relationships, feelings, opinion and group consensus rather than
"It is written." The making of what had historically been a small art, literature and music bohemian subculture into a mass movement which changed millions of younger people was somewhat unique. This bohemian subculture, made into a mass movement, exalted sensuality, or man's flesh.
In addition, remember that starting in the seventies there was something called
the "Me Generation," that is, an entire generation under the influence of self psychology, having
something of the traits and new thinking paradigm of those fewer young people in the counterculture
itself. And all this was to a great extent driven from an elite, or elites, in American society, from intellectuals, especially psychologists, from the major universities, and from avant-garte art, literature and bohemian centers like the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the Lower East Side bohemian area of New York City. In the Midwest, major watering holes of the counterculture were at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Now there are consequences of all this rebellion against the
patriarchal structure of Christianity and the family.
See http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/...#ixzz2SeHMQ7eV
"Four years ago, psychologist Leonard Sax (M.D., Ph.D.) wrote a
well-received book titled Boys Adrift. The doctor tried to answer the
question, why have so many young males fallen into passivity and
indifference?.........."Something scary is happening to boys today,"
Sax concluded. "From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on
average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere
twenty years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation
rates has widened dramatically."
The book's full title is Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the
Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men.
Sax lists the five factors right on the cover: "video games, teaching
methods, prescription drugs, environmental toxins, devaluation of
masculinity."
It's worrisome that he seems to like them all. That might be a clue
that he has not solved this mystery. Indeed, let's consider the
possibility that none of these theories is the deep answer we want.
Let's start from scratch and consider the things we know for sure.
First of all, critics have often noted that schools seem organized
more for girls than for boys...........Consider that all school
activity revolves around two basic skills: reading and arithmetic.
Students spend a lot of each day on these and must learn them in order
to advance to any other subjects. Failure in these two subjects
virtually guarantees failure in all subjects, and in all of life.
Perversely, our public schools, for more than 50 years, have used
dysfunctional methods that virtually guarantee failure for the
ordinary boy."
Remember that Transformational Marxist educational psychologist
Benjamin Bloom was the guy who wrote the books that have been used to
certify all American school teachers since about 1956. Some blame the
problem of dumbing down the American generations born after 1945 on
"Government Schools." It is true that Transformational Marxism got
its foot in the door and then marched fully in with a lot of help from
the federal government. But it was that form of Marxism which didn't
call itself Marxism that has helped to mess up the American boys.
The article above also says "Dr. Sax speaks of masculinity being
undervalued. Maybe it's more directly a case of masculinity hemmed in
and, as the school years pass, neutralized.
Finally. one can never escape the impression that there is
premeditation in all of this." My comment: Right, read Benjamin
Bloom.
There are other reasons for the boy problem. Russell Blaylock, MD, a
former brain surgeon, has articles and youtube videos on how
vaccinations cause brain damage. Here is a 2004 article of Blaylock's
with a huge number of peer review articles on brain damage from over
vaccination. http://www.whale.to/a/blaylock.html
Blaylock says people born before 1945 are less depressed.
It is known that autism, a form of mental retardation, which has
been increasing greatly in the last few decades, affects boys more than girls.
It may be that over-vaccination, which causes brain damage, especially in some
people, may have a greater effect on the male population than on girls.
And -there has been changes in the American diet, and addition of more toxins,
which result in lower levels of testosterone in the younger
generations, in both males and females. But this lowering of testosterone
in boys, especially teen age boys, is likely one factor in the boy problem
that Dr.Sax wrote about. Testosterone not only has some benefits for the heart,
but it also benefits the brain and brain functions like memory.
Studies show that attention, memory, and spatial ability are cognitive
functions affected by testosterone levels in humans. And -
testosterone
levels in boys may be important for early learning.
On the site
http://www.ane.pl/pdf/7147.pdf
It is said that:
"Men with
Alzheimer disease have lower testosterone levels prior
to their diagnosis in comparison to controls (Hogervorst
et al. 2003)."
"Low estradiol concentration and high testosterone levels despite older age predict a better cognitive performance in men ((Martin et al. 2009)."
"Researchers in the Rancho Bernardo study measured both testosterone and estradiol levels in over 500 men between the ages of 55-89 who were not receiving hormone replacement. Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor and her colleagues at the University of California then compared estrogen and testosterone levels with the men�s cognitive performance on various standardized tests.
First, they found that men with lower estrogen levels performed better on two commonly used cognitive function tests. It is interesting that while the sex hormone estrogen is associated with positive cognitive effects in women, it appears to have a reverse effect on men."
"Second, they found that men with moderately high levels of bioavailable testosterone scored significantly better in long-term memory and mental control. This relationship was independent of age, education level, alcohol use, and other possible factors influencing cognitive function."
"It�s widely accepted among scientists that regular exercise transforms the brain, improving the ability to remember and think." A study on rats found that testosterone levels in the brain increased after exercise. There is likely another factor, in addition to changes in the standard American diet, and addition of more toxins, which can reduce testosterone levels in young men. Lack of regular exercise can probably also lower testosterone levels in young guys.
Testosterone is produced from cholesterol - and less harmful fats should be consumed, especially from from sources like fish, flax seed, avocados, nuts, coconut oil, olive oil, and organic meats (no GMO fed beef). A diet high in refined sugar, high in carbohydrates, and low in magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, and perhaps vitamin C can result in lower testosterone levels even in young men. LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is �bad� cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of your arteries and create plaque. Plaque build-up in the arteries can reduce blood flow and increase risk of heart disease. On the other hand, HDL, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is "good" cholesterol because it does not cause build up up plaque in the arteries. And HDL cholesterol can removes LDL or "bad" cholesterol. Omega 3- fatty acids increase levels of HDL, for example, from fish, flaxseed, nuts or avocados, etc.

2007. A population-level decline in serum testosterone levels in
American men. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
92:196�202.
"In one of the largest studies of its kind, Travison et al. report a
population-wide decline in Massachusetts's men�s testosterone levels
during the last 20 years...............Recent studies have that found
environmental impacts on testosterone levels. For example,
testosterone levels were lower in US Air Force veterans exposed to
dioxins while spraying Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, as well as
in men exposed to phthalates at work..........................Lower
concentrations of testosterone can increase a man�s risk for
age-related diseases, depression and infertility. " There are a huge
number of toxins in the food, water and air, some of which may reduce
testosterone levels.

Right.
Dean Gotcher said that when he spoke to groups which included preachers many of them would say "You have just gone too far."
Dean Gotcher is a combination of scholar and preacher, and he is capable of preaching, and does sometimes preach, as well as talking about Transformational Marxism and the American psychologists who have worked with the original Frankfurt Marxists.
Gotcher said many of the preachers told him that they must dialogue with people, which means they engage in the dialectic form of quarreling.
He is still sometimes invited to speak in very small churches, but not in larger churches where he is not welcome. He spoke at the Victorville Valley Bible Church in California in February of 2013. But most of the time when Gotcher is on the road he speaks in private homes or in rented rooms like in motels. He spoke to a non-church small group in Medford, Oregon on February Feb 29, 2013.
