@Stanslem-I attained Sobriety a A/A sitting next to Catholic Priests, Protestant Ministers, the rich and the poor. The position of the Church regarding A/A is encouraged and considered Echumenical. Meaning that we work with other validly Baptized Faiths with varying elements of the Truth. I have spoken boldly to others about the Truth of our Faith at these meetings. A great opportunity to draw Souls not condemn them...peace...

I'm Eternally grateful to A/A. Before 1935 no one gave a crap about us Alcoholics. Nobody. There is no way I would of touched the door handle of the Church if it wasn't for A/A.

Our Parish Priest didn't even have a vague idea of what the 12 steps are much less there being a consistent Apostolate through-out the World. I offered my help and he politely brushed it off. Your program is Spiritually and Doctrinally correct but I doubt many alcoholics would subscribe to it. Religion is a huge line … [More]

Jesus said, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36), and "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters" (Matt. 12:30). Bill Wilson, the man responsible for the "Big Book," scatters--so he's against Christ and His kingdom! One cannot serve two masters! Alcoholics Anonymous does not have the sacramental power (nor authority) to truly deliver one from sin, ensalvement, and vice. Rock on, brother!
