Here are a few different meanings (we take wide liberties with grammar):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; something that outrages<br \/>&#8211; the act of displeasing or affronting<br \/>&#8211; the state of being insulted or morally outraged<br \/>&#8211; to transgress<br \/>&#8211; to violate a law or rule<br \/>&#8211; to cause difficulty, discomfort, or injury<br \/>&#8211; to cause dislike, anger, or vexation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Ultimately from Latin <em>offendere<\/em>&nbsp;&#8220;to strike against, displease&#8221; from <em>of-<\/em>&nbsp;&#8220;on account of&#8221; + <em>-fendere<\/em>&nbsp;&#8220;to hit&#8221;.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We mention these words because we notice a large amount of social commentary and speculation about those taking or giving offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, we notice an apparent spike in instances where someone has taken offense at another, or at another&#8217;s opinion, or at least remarking on such; whether such offense was intended or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve noticed this tendency more and more frequently over the last few years, and wondered what possible relation this could have with psychiatric and psychological infiltration into society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re not the only ones who have noticed this phenomenon. <em>Psychology Today<\/em>&nbsp;published various articles about it, although we don&#8217;t think they accurately attributed its cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sensitivity Training Destroys Personal Responsibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychiatry&#8217;s deliberate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/religion.shtml\">infiltration of religion<\/a>&nbsp;and pastoral counseling provides some clues. Psychiatrists first sought to replace religion&nbsp;with their &#8220;soulless science&#8221; in the late 1800&#8217;s. In 1940, psychiatry openly declared its anti-religion plans when British psychiatrist John Rawling Rees, a co\u2013founder of the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH), spoke of psychiatry infiltrating the Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another co\u2013founder of the WFMH, Canadian psychiatrist G. Brock Chisholm, reinforced this master plan in 1945 when he spoke about freeing the race from crippling religious values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of psychiatry&#8217;s subversive plan for religion, the concepts of good and bad behavior, right and wrong conduct and personal responsibility have taken such a beating that people today have few or no guidelines for checking, judging or directing their behavior. The consequences have been devastating for both society and religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sensitivity Training developed by psychologists in the 1950&#8217;s spread rapidly to religious leaders and churches, invalidating personal responsibility in favor of lowered moral standards, leaving a confused populace open to being morally outraged, i.e. offended, by nearly anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1967, morals have been usurped through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/education.shtml\">the education system<\/a>&nbsp;with the implementation of &#8220;Values Clarification.&#8221; Part of the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) package of techniques, &#8220;Values Clarification&#8221; emerged from Germany and was introduced into the U.S. classroom under various names, including Sensitivity Training, Self-Esteem training, Anger Management and Conflict Resolution, to name a few. None are any more than mental techniques designed to modify behavior &#8211; or more bluntly, alter beliefs and lower personal responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Psychiatric Folly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a person acts in ways that annoy, upset or offend psychiatrists, they may be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchrint.org\/2011\/08\/05\/a-dissenting-view-the-myth-of-mental-illness\/\">diagnosed as mentally ill<\/a>&nbsp;and treated against their will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/dsm.shtml\">Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders<\/a><\/em>&nbsp;(DSM) has an entry called &#8220;Intermittent explosive disorder&#8221;, which means repeated, sudden episodes of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts which are out of proportion to the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, psychiatrists can call you mentally ill and prescribe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/truth.shtml\">harmful and addictive psychotropic drugs<\/a>&nbsp;if you give or take offense. This should act as a warning not to call your psychiatrist names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then again, some of these drugs have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/sideeffects.shtml\">side effects<\/a>&nbsp;which look to an outsider as if the person does have such a disorder. Aggressive or hostile behavior is a side effect of psychostimulants, newer antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anti-anxiety drugs. Of course, if you experience such side effects, you can also be diagnosed with the mental disorder &#8220;Other adverse effect of medication&#8221;, so psychiatrists can label you mentally ill whether you are taking their drugs or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know of any psychiatrist or psychologist who has committed a legal offense, a sexual offense, financial irregularity, malpractice, fraud or any other crime, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchr.org\/take-action\/report-psychiatric-abuse.html\">report this to the police and to CCHR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/big_pharma_church_600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/big_pharma_church_600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/big_pharma_church_600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/big_pharma_church_600-287x300.jpg 287w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Offense and Offend, two related words of wide contemporary usage. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/wordpress\/2021\/05\/03\/a-truly-great-library-contains-something-to-offend-everyone\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"A Truly Great Library Contains Something To Offend Everyone - Offense and Offend, two related words of wide contemporary usage.
