Briefly, and then I have some brainwashing to be done at work: I am only disturbed that you are denegrating a possible avenue to God. To say that AA is untrue is to denegrate them, no matter how YOU want to spin it. No one signs up to follow something that is untrue.

AA in no way impedes a person becoming a Christian. In fact, it often LEADS to someone becoming a Christian. Further, I have seen people 'graduate' successfully from AA and go on to become an even more spiritual person. I have seen them give up AA and go on to church.

But I don't see them denegrating AA and saying the path that got them sober and on better footing with God is UNTRUE.

You may be, should someone be foolish enough to listen to your denegration, having a hand in someone's death. You may be having a hand in PREVENTING them from getting to know God.

What worked for you might kill me. What worked for me might kill you. That's why I do not denegrate your path, but recommend that people find the way that works for them.

So, if I am 'brainwashed' enough to be open to whatever works for a person to sober them up, and eventually get them to Christ, but you are 'brainwashed' enough to deny any other path but yours as correct, WHO IS TRULY BRAINWASHED?

Physician, heal thyself.

Lawdy Lawdy. I have been misspelling denigrate for a while now. Yikes. DENIGRATE, not denegrate.

Ah well. Sometimes I suck, sometimes I pwn.

“But I don’t see them denegrating AA and saying the path that got them sober and on better footing with God is UNTRUE.”

I am telling the Truth about AA, not denigrating it. There are better programs than AA and a person would be well advised to seek them out. I will gladly recommend them to anyone interested.

Your too defensive. AA has lost it’s way. There acceptance of homosexuality is just one sign of it.
