AA has gone the way of the YMCA and YWCA.
They dropped the Christian Association from their organizations years ago. They now just go by “The Y”.
The Left destroys everything. It will be the end of AA
A close relative has attended for 40 years. Was a drunk and hell-raiser as a young man before AA, now by the Grace of God has been dry all these years.
I’ve met his past sponsors, the new members he sponsors, friends made there, attended anniversary meetings, etc...so I’m very familiar
These people succeeded only because they gained humility and self-awareness from surrendering their egos to Jesus Christ.
No it hasn’t
Yea, they go by the “Y” because it fits in perfectly with LGBTXY-WHATEVER. When I was young in the 60’s you went to YMCA and swimming was in the nude. Eventually in the mid-60s the pedifiles and homo’s started purusing the premises in seach of the city’s youth.
Wrong. If an AA member insisted that Christianity was the focus of the meeting. it would be a one person meeting. By keeping it generic, you avoid proselytizing. It’s OK to mention that you’re a Catholic, Christian etc. but in the meetings I go to, if you were to say that being a Catholic was the only way, you’d be corrected. God or a Higher Power can be whatever the individual thinks or wants him to be. The point is something bigger then you is helping you. For atheists, you’re told it could mean Good Orderly Direction bt overtime, most people will morph into something more structured.
A friend in the program is a doctor and his belief is in Native American spirituality & he goes to sweat lodges regularly. I think its mumbo jumbo but its whats keeping him sober. He probably thinks my belief in Christ and God the Father are mumbo jumbo too.
