Why I left AA and recovered a wonderful normal life

I see you have gotten something to sink your talons into. Still trying to pry information out of me for a good 4th Step interrogation? You may have to help Newt Gingrich get elected, then maybe when a stepper is in the White House he can send me to Gitmo to water board a confession out of me.

"When you discover a prospect for Alcoholics Anonymous, find out all you can about him. " BB p.90, Working With Others

"Do not be discouraged if your prospect does not respond at once. " BB p.96, Working With Others

"Here was a prospect all right but, by the description, none too promising. " BB p.156, A Vision For You

You are definitely a "by the book" classic prospect hunter. Your tactics are so 20th century, this is the 21st century. Get with it will you marrietta.

Ban one, ban all. Orange is in too deep for that. He'd be a fucking hypocrite if he did so.

It's not sea angle, idiot, it's sea angel. And I'm on this forum under a single, solitary address. I don't have time to be a sea angel.

Please, the bitch can't even spell.

AD - you are mistaken. seangel's grammar is atrocious. I would never post anything that had multiple typos and unfinished sentences. You may hate me, but you know me better than that.

Oh, seaangel, a rose is still a rose whether trampled or not. It does not become a weed simply because someone's heel grinds upon it. Keep that in your mind, filed under "seametaphor".

As a disenfranchised Catholic, I offer you this, seaangel:

The angels can confer no blessings, dear. They are agents of God but do not have the power to bestow blessings upon us which they themselves generate. The word is used in Hebrew to denote indifferently either a divine or human messenger.

"We know on the authority of Scripture that there are nine orders of angels, viz., Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim and Seraphim. That there are Angels and Archangels nearly every page of the Bible tell us, and the books of the Prophets talk of Cherubim and Seraphim. St. Paul, too, writing to the Ephesians enumerates four orders when he says: 'above all Principality, and Power, and Virtue, and Domination'; and again, writing to the Colossians he says: 'whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers'. If we now join these two lists together we have five Orders, and adding Angels and Archangels, Cherubim and Seraphim, we find nine Orders of Angels." ~ New Advent

"The Nine Choirs of Angels
Seraphim
Cherubim
Thrones
Dominions
Virtues
Powers
Principalities
Archangels
Angels (Regular)

Seraphim
These are the highest order or choir of angels. They are the angels who are attendants or guardians before God's throne. They praise God, calling, 'Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of Hosts'. the only Bible reference is Isaiah 6:1-7. One of them touched Isaiah's lips with a live coal from the altar, cleansing him from sin. Seraphim have six wings, two cover their faces, two cover their feet, and two are for flying.

Cherubim
Cherubim rank after the seraphim and are the second highest in the nine hierarchies or choirs of angels. The Old Testament does not reveal any evidence that the Jews considered them as intercessors or helpers of God. They were closely linked in God's glory. They are manlike in appearance and double-winged and were guardians of God's glory. They symbolized then, God's power and mobility. In the New Testament, they are alluded to as celestial attendants in the Apocalypse (Rv 4-6). Catholic tradition describes them as angels who have an intimate knowledge of God and continually praise Him.

Thrones
Thrones are the Angels of pure Humility, Peace and Submisssion. They reside in the area of the cosmos where material form begins to take shape. The lower Choir of Angels need the Thrones to access God.

Dominions
Dominions are Angels of Leadership. They regulate the duties of the angels, making known the commands of God.

Virtues
Virtues are known as the Spirits of Motion and control the elements. They are sometimes referred to as 'the shining ones.' They govern all nature. They have control over seasons, stars, moon; even the sun is subject to their command. They are also in charge of miracles and provide courage, grace, and valor.

Powers
Powers are Warrior Angels against evil defending the cosmos and humans. They are known as potentates. They fight against evil spirits who attempt to wreak chaos through human beings. The chief is said to be either Samael or Camael, both angels of darkness.

Archangels
Archangels are generally taken to mean 'chief or leading angel' ( Jude 9; 1 Thes 4:16), they are the most frequently mentioned throughout the Bible. They may be of this or other hierarchies as St. Michael Archangel, who is a princely Seraph. The Archangels have a unique role as God's messenger to the people at critical times in history and salvation (Tb 12:6, 15; Jn 5:4; Rv 12:7-9) as in The Annunciation and Apocalypse. A feast day celebrating the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael is celebrated throughout the Church Sep 29. A special part of the Byzantine Liturgy invokes the 'Cherubic Hymn' which celebrates these archangels and the guardian angels particularly. Of special significance is St. Michael as he has been invoked as patron and protector by the Church from the time of the Apostles. The Eastern Rite and many others place him over all the angels, as Prince of the Seraphim. He is described as the 'chief of princes' and as the leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over Satan and his followers. The angel Gabriel first appeared in the Old Testament in the prophesies of Daniel, he announced the prophecy of 70 weeks (Dn 9:21-27). He appeared to Zechariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptist (Lk 1:11). It was also Gabriel which proclaimed the Annunciation of Mary to be the mother of our Lord and Saviour. (Lk 1:26) The angel Raphael first appeared in the book of Tobit (Tobias)Tb 3:25, 5:5-28, 6-12). He announces 'I am the Angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before the throne of God.' (Tb 12:15)

Principalities
In the New Testament Principalities refers to one type of spiritual (metaphysical) being which are now quite hostile to God and human beings. (Rom 8:38; 1 Cor 15:24; Eph 1:21; 3:10; 6:12; Col 1:16; 2:10, 15) Along with the principalities are the powers (Rom 8:38; 1 Cor 15:24; Eph 1:21; 1 Pt 3:22; 2 Thes 1:7); and cosmological powers (1 Cor 15:24; Eph 1:21; 3:10; Col 2:15);Dominions (Eph 1:21; Col 1:16) and thrones (Col1:16). The clarity of the New Testament witness helps see that these beings were created through Christ and for Him (Col 1:16). Given their hostility to God and humans due to sin, Christ's ultimate rule over them (ibid) expresses the reign of the Lord over all in the cosmos. This is the Lordship of Christ, which reveals God's tremendous salvation in conquering sin and death at the cross, and now takes place in the Church. (Eph 3:10)

Angels
These angels are closest to the material world and human begins. They deliver the prayers to God and God's answers and other messages to humans. Angels have the capacity to access any and all other Angels at any time. They are the most caring and social to assist those who ask for help." ~ www.catholic.org

That is, if you believe that stuff.

Maybe you're just sort of a generic, Madison Avenue, marketing type of angel, one like, say, a Victoria's Secret angel. So here's a lesson for you: word use, image use, concept sharing are all trip wires here at OP. Be careful what you conjure.

While you've been off having your tits lifted there's been plenty of bitching going on on your side of the fence. Catch up, honey.

Smile, seangel, you "are are" shit that encourages growth, too.
