This is from a FB post.
FAQ about Narcissistic, Abusive and Psychopathic Relatives
Luke 17:3 Ministries
1. Yes, they know what they are doing.
2. Yes, they know they are hurting you.
3. Yes, they are doing it on purpose.
4. Yes, they can control it. They do control it when trying to impress someone.
5. Yes, they could stop if they wanted to.
6. No, they don't love you even if they say they do. (Actions speak louder than words.) They do not feel love, compassion, or remorse. Your relationship is not about love but control, dominance, power, attention, respect admiration subservience.
7. No you cannot change them.
8. Yes, there is something you can do. GET OUT. I know that is not what you want to hear but that is the answer. If it takes years to accept this, you will regret those lost years you could have spent in a joyful life.

First a reordering of some items. 4. Yes, they can control it. They do control it when trying to impress someone.
3. Yes, they are doing it on purpose.
6. ... Your relationship is not about love but control, dominance, power, ...
Do they alter behavior to "impress" or is it just a different manipulative way to gain a level of control, dominance, power in a different relationship.

I don't know. I merely copied what I saw on FB. I know there was a narcissist thread but I'm sure it was older and would need to be refreshed.

I'll google it later but my first impression is that, that is a little bit different from any other take on narcissism that I have ever read. It's harsher than what I remember elsewhere, even though I have seen the advice to RUN! before. I'm also a bit shocked by seeing the bible verse reference at the beginning of what you grabbed.
I'm a bit leery of what I'm going to find.

Yeah, I read the abundant disclaimers almost everywhere. I kinda admire the site designers for that.
I think the site might be helpful for some. If scripture is your path for living your life and you've spent a lifetime being bombarded with messages to be a good woman and .... and .... and ... and take it, running into someone who has been there too and knows a few competing verses could be a lifeline.

I read Luke 17:1-3. 3 needs to be read with the first 2.
Not everyone has the resources to RUN.
I have thought about my sports clubs. If they were in a bar and I knew those bad characters like them were there, I would not go.
