**Well, you should see how hostile people are to Christians in there.**
Look where they have to live the other 23 hours.. A world that Jesus has been marked to a 4 letter word, and Separation of church and state has become religious dogma for the LEFT, including the MEDIA.
It’s a sad state of affairs when one can be momentarily SHOCKED to actually hear the name of JESUS or... even GOD.
And I was Raised as a Christian.

George W. Bush is a Great Man and was a Great PresidentOkay, but not "great". Not in any sense of the word.

But I DO know how alcohol can destroy lives and if AA helps people stay sober then it is a good thing.

I feel guilty about not sponsoring, I admit that.Don't. I have tried it and it's just not for me. I admit it. I make a crumby sponsor. Maybe someday - but not for now.
Actually I think it's because I had a young (in AA) sponsor at the beginning and then had a horrible experience trying to pick a new one after the first one moved away. It was some old guy that turned out to be trying to 13th step me. He, and a bunch of his acolytes, were "woman haters" and, I think, a clique of gays.

There is 1000+ different ways of carrying the message other than sponsoring. When I came in to the rooms.. we didn’t pick our sponsors... They PICKED US!!.

I like that. It is quite pithy.

Well, you should see how hostile people are to Christians in there. Look, there are some sick, sick people at AA meetings. Ive never met one that wasnt horribly, deeply damaged. Ive thought some of them werent - sponsors, ones with significant sobriety, but when I got to know them they were some scr-ew-ed up people. Sadly, I'd bet that the percentages are not any different than the "normal" population.
Let's just say it's a screwed up world!

In Ebert's case I'll make an exception, mainly because the man has no class, even after being off booze for years.Hearing that from you, I expect that you have an opinion on all the people you meet in life.
Get over yourself. You are insecure and judgmental.
In other words, you are meaningless in sincere discussions.

You don’t know me at all. So any judgements on your part are limited at best, and worthless to a large degree. I judge this SOB as he judged Ashcroft and Bush. And I know a couple of dry drunks for comparison. Meanwhile what you think means zip to me. Nada. I posted this article and if you don’t like it or the thread just go away.
