Good Bye.

Are you trying to tell the Anti AA people that we are brainwashed? Ha! Ha! Ha!

We are NOT the ones who are claiming we are powerless over a dead plant and that only a belief in a 'higher power' that can be a tree or a rock or what ever you want it to be (except yourself) is the only way that we can be restored to SANITY. How crazy can you get, and still be aloud to roam free?

Higher power that can be a tree or whatever, and is the only thing that can restore you to sanity LOL

You should be locked away from the general public, not allowed to produce orange eggs or try to ruin informative websites...................Powerless over a dead plant indeed Ha! Ha! Ha!

At least start taking your meds again.......I think Clara does, though she'll never admit it on this forum

Did you mean you will "now" repeat everything without thought?

The ritual chanting at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for hypnotism. Repeat the same manta devised in 1936 and at least 90 times in the first 90 days of the indoctrination process. Do not change the wording or you will run the risk of being de-listed for not performing the ritual correctly by your local AA Intergroup.

These are the original Twelve Steps as published by Alcoholics Anonymous-

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

I have just watched Bill W film, thought it was good I have never see it before.
