Sometimes It Causes Me To Tremble
« on: March 08, 2009, 05:09:25 PM »

Many AARColytes claim that theirs is not a religious institution.  Since it incorporates the twelve steps originally devised by noted pederast Frank Buchman for his Moral Rearmament cult, that is simply nonsense.  It has in fact been ruled unconstitutional in the United States to force inmates into AA since it violates their religious freedoms.  But back to AARC.

In this non-religous program, we see this instruction from one of the totally unskilled and unqualified Peer Counselors:
"Pray!  Ask for help-write Dear God instead of Dear Diary every night before bed."

I remember an AARColyte once explained that an AARC inmate could choose a rubber chicken as their higher power.  A rather bizarre form of idolatry, bearing out the completely nonsensical and pseudoscientific composition of AARC's phony treatment.

Amen!  Can I get a witness?!!!

Yes, but many judges don't care, sadly.

That's the funny thing about AA.  They tell a person that they're powerless and need to give their will over to a higher power and then tell them a rock, toilet seat, or rubber chicken will suffice.  Is it that the rubber chicken is supposed to have some magic powers that keeps people from drinking?!?!  It seems like it's almost as insulting to the religious as it is to the atheists and agnostics.  It implies a rubber chicken is as powerful as a bona-fide god (and that you are less powerful than a rubber chicken).

What all that crap has to do with not drinking is anybody's guess.

Nah.  He's the one who speaks for the rubber chicken.  See...  That's the deal.  Programs don't care what you call the higher power...  They'll just be sure to speak for him/her.

BAh hahahaha.

I could just imagine sitting in group and being handed the "treatment plan" which of course would look a little like this:

I was in a Rap (maybe the same one) when he made the Rubber Chicken comment. I believe the point he was trying to make was that you don't have to believe in the Christian God in order to have a "Higher Power" in AA, you just had to believe in "something greater than yourself" whether you believe that something greater is Buddha, Jesus, or a rubber chicken....

As long as that Something Greater Than Yourself preaches that you are defected for feeling pride, lust, or anger and knows that gays are sick and diseased and that everything in your life up until entering aarc was pure sickness that you will never be cured from and will have to pray over for the rest of your life, and that any time you start to veer from AARC's teachings to explore your own then you are clearly working "God's Will" and are being dishonest and are going to end up "deadinsaneorinjail".... Then everything is O.K! Oh, but please pick the Rubber Chicken over some form of New Age Spirituality because those people are just weird and all of that belief in things like intuition and personal power is just you complicating things and being in your head in order to be dishonest and have something to hide behind, so really it's just a symptom of your disease talking.

Exactly. I'm not a defected person either and I have no problem with feeling lust, being proud of myself, or feeling anger. The rubber chicken created me with all of those emotions for a reason.
