Some things to ponder about which ever Anonymous meeting

[DannyB II]

You keep missing the point. The organization itself doesn't need to have a specific deity for it to be considered a cult. The doctrine of AA and the behavior of its members is what makes people think it is a cult.

Personally, I think it is a pile of hilarious shit that a bunch of drunks are gathering once a week under the premise that without AA they'll relapse and end up in a vomit piled heap in a gutter.

Great if it works for you, but the majority of those who force themselves to endure stale donuts and crappy coffee, AA does not work for them.

Luckily, going cold turkey and growing  pair of balls seems to be a better option for them statistically speaking.

Che your right I am missing your point. I"ll tell you why, I do not think you of all people believe AA is that misaligned in it's ability to help folks.
I don't know what exactly is the point of your post, other than to just insult AA and the people who are receiving help voluntarily.
Well, we don't feel insulted because we understand that you really do not mean what your saying.

How do they build trust amongst fellow AA members during AA meetings?  Do they have an "ice breaker?" http://www.secretprisonsforteens.dk/for ... s_propheet

Joel go undercover to a AA meeting. Go to several and mingle. Ice breakers, this is not a program Joel. Stay in touch.

I read through the posts and I don’t see where AA did anything wrong or where they harm people.  Was someone hurt during one of the meetings?

Maybe this can be analogous to the following:

There is this lady in my wife’s circle who changed her diet several years ago and doesn’t eat meat and took up yoga and she really looks great for her age now.  She lost a ton of weight.  But there are many woman who criticize her and saying she is jeopardizing her health by not eating meat and they make fun of her.  The ones who are the most critical are those who are the most overweight.  So it is clear that whether or not this woman eats meat or not is the issue.  It seems they view the yoga lady as successful and are a bit jealous that she was able to overcome her weight issues.

Not even on the Topic... Please read the AA literature and go to some meetings so you can have an educated discussion... You have the passion but you are uninformed.

The same reason you do. You can say you went to AA and know about AA but anyone who has been affiliated with AA knows the truth, Anne. You have no idea on a ground level what the hell your talking about when it comes to AA.
Keep reading the OJ papers and talking with fictitious women on the weekends about AA, Anne.

It must be really rattling your nerves for you to go on and on about this.  What I've posted is either MY OPINION or straight from the AA literature itself.   I realize it must scare the shit out of you that you've been fed the bullshit for so long, but DAMN.  We're posting our experiences, just as you are.  You just seem to get really, really pissed off if our experiences don't match up with what you've been sold.

I wouldn't have guessed that Felice ascribed to AA..
