Are You Worthy?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a Spiritualist, not Religious pagan program influenced by necromancy and the Atropa Belladonna, LSD twisted mind of Bill Wilson. Keep god out of this, he doesn't belong anywhere near your sick cult.

Matthew 7:15
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."

Lol @ praying.

Thank God For Unanswered Prayers

The main reason prayers go unanswered is because there is no god to thank.

"When I look back on things, it happened just as it was supposed to and oftentimes much better than I could have planned for or prayed for..."

You can't really believe that standard stepper cult crap.....I now suspect you are just another stepper con artist seeking to promote your cult , even on this website (and that you could be a man as others have alleged on this forum). You people really are like dog muck, you turn up everywhere.

However , if you ARE truly as deluded as you make out on this forum, and actually belive the nonsense you spout then as an exercise in reality, just give us some examples of how God specifically arranged things for you, better that you could have planned them yourself. The same God that let 8 million Jews die in the Nazi death camps of WW2, but who now goes out of his way to make things great for Clara, because she attends cult meetings and tries to recruit other troubled souls into her cult with NO regard for their personal well-being whatsoever

You steppers are masters at regurgitating cult speak, that’s ALL you ever actually do, sit around in those ridiculous meetings repeating the same nonsense over and over, year in year out. But when it comes to quoting specific examples of Gods miracles bestowed upon his chosen steppers, you decline to give any. On the other hand when countless ex steppers specifically quote incidents of sexual predation and other predatory abuse and suicides that are abundant in stepper cults, you are quick to deny you have witnessed such things (I don't believe that anyone who has ever spent any significant time in a stepper cult has not seen an abundance of sexual predators, control freaks, total nutjobs and a number of suicides, its what happens in steppism, its the norm in that evil society)

Also if you were taught to "prey for Gods will" since you were a little girl, how come you needed AA? Does praying for Gods will only work if you attend stepper cult meetings? Did God only work miracles for you and change your life ONLY after you joined AA? Did God actually tell you that He would only work miracles for you if you joined AA? And if so, when and where did He tell you this…..in a bar when you were still drinking?, during a vision in the Supermarket? In the bathroom?....... Where? My inner voices tell me that you are a lying self serving stepper cult recruiter.....is that God speaking to me, even though I don't work those worthless steps?

You people are so FALSE it really is a wonder how your cult has grown and cloned the way it has. You go around spouting absolute GARBAGE, year in year out and most people seem afraid to challenge your total nonsense, even so called rivals like SMART and MM...................and to top it all, your program is a total FAILUIRE for anything including being an aid to stopping drinking.

How much longer is this stepper nonsense going to continue, its an insult to the intelligence of mankind. How the hell it ever took of in England is beyond me

"I See . . .
So in other words, you were taught to pray the right way, except when you didn't pray the right way, but that's ok too because when you didn't pray the right way you were able to look back and see that it wasn't the right way, which in turn makes you glad that now you are praying the right way.
It works if you work it." ~ YM/msafrany

"I was looking back to see
If you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see
If you were looking back at me.

You were cute as you could be
Standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see
That I'd enjoy your company . . . "

If it bugs you how other people live their lives, why not run for king? Ten votes is better than none.

Becket, there are typos in the lyrics on his site. But when he sings the song he says "SAVED."

Anyway, the question is not whether Arnold ZeDville is a believer; the question is whether we are believers in Arnold ZeDville.

In Roman Catholicism, when one is born a "cradle Catholic", one is, according to Church dogma, a Catholic for life. There is no escape from the dogma, according to doctrine. One can leave the Church, turn his back on the Church, marry outside the Church, divorce, use artificial birth control, support gay marriage, and all this does, according to the Catholic Church, is place one in a position of mortal sin: these acts do not release the Catholic from the bonds and shackles of Catholic dogma. They do not enable him to leave the Church, because there is no leaving the Church. If the sins are not repented and confessed and absolution is not granted by a Catholic priest, this person has a ticket straight to hell, no questions asked, no begging, no foxhole religion, no excuses. Even excommunication does not allow for departure from the Church; the excommunicated person is doomed, but still manacled to the Church. A cradle Catholic, and even a convert, one who is embraced by the Church after long indoctrination and testing, is a Catholic until death. The Church owns you, your soul, your conscience. That is dogma. That is what I was taught.

I left the Catholic Church when I was 17 years old, quit going to mass, got in plenty of trouble with the law and my own code of ethics due in part to drinking and drug abuse. I did not attend my first AA meeting until 1980, so I had almost 15 years of dogmatic baggage as a Church outsider to drag into meetings with me. I had already processed the problems and solutions of leaving a cult by the time I got to AA, so maybe this is why I was not devoured by the solicitation to join yet another cult. I did my thing in AA and I left.

So, to answer your question, any child born to one Catholic parent belongs from birth - and likely from conception, but I'll have to look that up - to the Catholic Church, no matter what the parents prefer, and this is a lifetime assignment for the parent to raise that child as a Roman Catholic, through Catechism of Christian doctrine, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, railroading that child through a Catholic marriage, and ensuring that any grandchildren are raised Catholic. Anything less is tantamount to mutiny and punishable by banishment to hell unless confessed to a priest, repented and granted absolution. And no matter how far I fling myself from the Catholic Church, it's still right there behind me. My own daughter thought it was so goofy she converted to Judaism. How am I going to explain that to St. Peter - assuming I ever encounter him?

You think AA is a cult? Take a look at the underpinnings of Catholicism. That's really scary.
