Beware of Manipulative Tactics

One of the tactics of narcissism is to use the mean/nice cycle! They will be nice to you as long as you obey them, but when they see you are not being controlled by them, they will be mean again to beat you into submission.

It is a favorite tactic of apostates these days to accuse you of meanness, the very thing they are doing but you are not. When we see this tactic as an ongoing pattern with someone, we need to withdraw from them knowing we cannot believe them.

Jeremiah 12:6
"“For even your brothers and the household of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you, Even they have cried aloud after you.
Do not believe them, although they may say nice things to you.”
