Page124 Productions is releasing a "new" never before seen documentary of the occultist, LSD taking, adulterous, con man known as Bill W. on May 18, 2012. Although advertized as "new" with never seen before tidbits of the man who started the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous, I can see nothing "new" in the story line of the con man who started the Recovery Industry Cartel that is causing the Medical Insurance in the US to sky rocket and labeling nearly everyone who drinks as a diseased person in need of Hazelden style training in the proper way to chant and hold Bill Wilson rituals.

The Spiritual foundation of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the global book selling empire it has spawned headed by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. (AAWS) at the Interchurch Center in New York city was founded by an unemployable salesman called Bill Wilson. You can only buy a "Big Book" from AAWS publishing or Hazelden and nowhere else. Anyone else trying to sell or give away copies of the "Big Book" that are not purchased from the original end manufacturer (OEM) of AAWS or Hazelden face legal lawsuits from AAWS that are not "conference approved" by the fellowship.

It’s recommended that the women stick with the women and the men stick with the men. But I’d rather do it with a guy.

When I say that I like male sponsors better than female ones, people assume that means I don’t like women. It doesn’t. I have plenty of close women friends. I just prefer not to be sponsored by them.

Wilson's sobriety date is often quoted as being December 11, 1934, just after he was given the Belladonna Cure by Dr. Silkworth at Towns Hospital. Still suffering from delirium of the use of Deadly Nightshade (aka Atropa Belladonna) and having a "Spiritual Awakening" he found himself six months later at the home of Henrietta Seiberling on Mothers Day May 12, 1935 with his first historic meeting with Dr. Bob. He had not drank for six months.

Mankind has tried to identify "Spiritual Principles" for centuries. In my mind, Spiritual Principles are very simple and can be summed up in the Golden Rule of "treat others as you would have them treat you." Spirituality has hit mainstream in the US with the publishing of the "Big Book" which the con man Bill Wilson plagiarized and stole from many authors in 1939 when he copyrighted the material in his own name. The newest buzzword is proclaiming that you are following these principles and with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.

Alcoholics Anonymous Funeral Crashers are those who manipulate the grieving family of a person who has died due to complications due to "Alcohol Abuse." They are the lowest manipulators known to man at the present time and do it because they can. Hi-jacking a funeral to further the the "promotion, not attraction" of Alcoholics Anonymous is one of the most despicable actions that can be acted upon by these obvious low life forms.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a confession cult, based on a movement started by Frank Buchman (The Oxford Group) which due to its insidious nature was banned from many churches. Alcoholics Anonymous is following in the footsteps of this confession cult with its leaders gleefully demanding confessions, while omitting anything that could be damaging to the welfare of the "program" devised to enrich a few of the top tier members.

Susan Cheever has been termed as an "AA apologetic" from time to time, is she changing her stance in a paradigm shift? Recently on TheFix, Ms. Cheever has written a piece on Bill Wilson, that appears to be much more accurate and less full of AA rhetoric. Gone from this article is the usual "Bill Wilson as an accomplished stock broker" which has been changed to "a salesman in Brooklyn." Wits End at Stepping Stones is identified as "a cinderblock shack built to escape visitors" instead of a den to accomplish his best works.

1. Avoidance Denial Pattern - Continually try to change the subject of "is AA/NA a cult" to that of something else.
2. Absolute Denial Denial Pattern - States that there is no way that AA/NA could be a cult.
3. Minimizing Denial Pattern - Uses the "ends justifies the means" defense on the subject not ever actually answering the question.
4. Rationalizing Denial Pattern - States that there is nothing else that can be used, so AA/NA must be better.
5. Blaming Denial Pattern - Blames the problems with AA/NA on the Court System and Rehabs.
