Man go back and troll your own thread... we are having an intelligent conversation with Max, we might have a chance to save him.... LOL


Peace and much healing
 :peace:


Ayup....Whooter's upset because nobody will play with him in the sandbox, er thread, he started.


No, I started that so that any trolling, trolling discussions can be kept there and personal attacks can be kept out of threads like these.  But, Anne, you are still hell bent on derailing this thread.  Lets keep on the topic of AA.



...


You are not invited to participate in this discussion ...man... LOL  :seg:

Peace and much healing

If AA supports this then I would agree with you.  I am not familiar with the writing of the Big Book.  This may be just one guy pushing his personal agenda.


Then maybe you should refrain from commenting until you know what you're talking about.  It's the AA bible.....seriously.

Whooter..Take time to look online at AA and read their big book... I would also take time to look at the NA basic text as well then have this conversation with us, we are discussing the point with people who are educated as far as these matters go...

I would also suggest to do further research for yourself and go to meetings.

Here are you a couple links to get you started

Happy reading..

I spent the weekend with someone who's been going to meetings for a year.  They have a sponsor who, 2 weeks ago, told them that they didn't need their anti-depressants.  Told them to stop taking them - cold turkey.  Told them that if they prayed hard enough, God would remove the need for them.  ::) ::) ::) ::) The kid was trying to "do the right thing" and, unfortunately, followed their sponsor's advice.  As any thinking person would expect, the poor kid ended up in a severe depression and called me because they were thinking about using.  Thankfully, they're back on the medication but it will take a couple of weeks for it to take effect again.  Who the fuck do Stepcrafters think they are that they can practice medicine without a license??

Anne being dishonest is exactly why many here have stopped reading your rubbish. Your a liar Anne. This story above, is something you are making up, so you can play too.
Very sad, Anne.

Nope Danny-boy... I know Anne and am friends... I can vouch for her...... but you won't belive me, or any other person who comes here...

Do us a favor and get on the dang topic if you want to participate... Plus this thread was going somewhere until people started derailing it... we were having a civil conversation with Max... Are you scared we might get through to him???


Peace and much healing

I see no apparent reason for you to cast doubt upon Anne's post about AA. Take a chill pill or some laxatives and calm down a little, DB. No need to shit yourself. Calling Anne a liar and calling her post rubbish only succeeds in making you look like a buffoon. Try backing off once in a while and practice treating people in a civil fashion, and it will come back around.

The Orange papers may be true or they may be false, but its just one mans opinion.  Its not based on fact.  ...


What in the hell do you think that the AA Big Book or the NA Basic Test is... AA was written by Bill Wilson and the NA basic text was written by Jimmy K... So here we have it 2 guys writing his own opinion.

Man go back and troll your own thread... we are having an intelligent conversation with Max, we might have a chance to save him.... LOL


Peace and much healing
 :peace:

BP, Jimmy K, was not really the one who wrote the Book for NA, the man who actually edited the Book (I'll give you his first name, Marty) did it.
Just like Bill and Bob did not actually write the book, Alcohol Anonymous, many folks and a editor had much participation.
Remember the first, "100".
BP get out of this conversation and take Anne with you. Neither of you are talking about the actual 12 steps and its principals. What in fact you are talking about are the people who attend AA/NA, how they perceive it and how they act it out.
Both of of you are very ignorant when it comes to AA/NA and are showing your asses. People are laughing at you.  :rofl:

I wish that were true.  I really do.  And it is sad.   Extremely sad that this poor kid had to go thru a couple of weeks of sheer hell due to the sheer stupidity of they're sponsor.

Frodie, you know damn well this is a lie. Why back her. OH, just by coincidence, when this topic hit the boards this weekend, she just so happens to be with a women in AA, who is willing to talk with her about her experiences.
NO, Frodie, this is the bullshit you folks need to stop with your buddies. This constant lying to peddle "YOUR SHIT" here.

Readers.... Please disregard that display of immaturity from our friend Danny he has already resorted to taking a civil conversation and trying to disrupt the peaceful positive flow in which this topic was flowing.. My humble appology for his rude outbreak

Peace and much healing

No, I do not know that post was a lie any more than you do. I'm not "backing" anyone, I just call it like i see it. What I see you is you jumping her shit over a post that is more than likely true. Perhaps you ought to re-evaluate your mindset about AA. I'm afraid this is an example of you being defensive about it. I have nothing against AA per se (aside from the "steps" being a little too similar to the steps shoved down my throat), as I've had no experience with it personally (I hear others' experiences with it, some good and some bad.) I don't think anyone here is lying; I think you may have a hard time accepting truth.

Danny if you continue your slanderous attacks on the posters here I will be forced to bring up the issue of your DD214 military papers. Your less than glowing military records could become fair game. We know you worship at the AA altar and that is OK, so please allow others to voice their opinions without being called liars by you.

Frodie, say what you will, the girl is a liar. She knows this, you know it and everyone else knows it. This has nothing to do with being defensive about AA. (I don't even go, have not for a couple of years. I have said this several times)
What I want is credible stories but that is impossible here. Just like with Morgan, no one will hold there buddies accountable for anything here.
Hey you Straight folks hang, just remember when you hang together, you also fall together when the branch breaks.
