"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.

No way! The title of that pamphlet is hilarious.

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

But wait, there's more kits, workbooks, and pamphlets. Just as plain on the nose on your face. Gotta catch 'em all.

Call it "Man in the Cell"

This needs to be updated....

You just need to add bars, court slips and armed guards......

H&I, old school.

Also, many Intergroup covens hide the "corrections committee" under Hospitals and Institutions (H&I), so it still applies.

(F-162) The A.A. Corrections Prerelease Contact Information for A.A.s on the Inside

This is a very interesting form for those AA member who wish to prospect hunt in jails and prisons. It asks for your name, sex, home address, phone numbers, name of home group and location of home group and is supplied to inmates on the INSIDE, so they know all of this information. So not only do you give the location of your family and friends, you give them your home group and where they are before the criminal is released.

the successful propect hunter to ensure the just-released ex-inmate immediately attends an AA meeting.

How about ensuring the ex-inmate has a place to eat maybe? Or sleep?

AA is a piece of crap!
