Suppressive Person (SP)

A Suppressive Person (SP) is a term used in certain beliefs to describe an individual who is viewed as negatively influencing or obstructing the progress of a member within that community. Generally, this person is perceived as critical, antagonistic, or discouraging toward the beliefs or practices of the group. As a result, members are often advised to limit or discontinue contact with SPs to maintain spiritual or personal well-being. This concept emphasizes the importance of positive association within the group, and the designation is intended to help members protect their focus and growth in their spiritual path.
