The Mayfower Hotel Phone - yet another pilgrimage site of the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous

On Mothers Day 1935 a still unemployed con man named Bill Wilson was at the Mayflower Hotel and used a pay phone to make a call to Reverend Turks. Having just gone through a chemically induced "hot flash" and "white light" experience where he saw god and had a Spiritual, not Religious experience under the influence of Atropa Belladonna more commonly known as deadly nightshade, a plant used throughout history in satanic rituals, he made a call to a member of the clergy who introduced him to Dr. Bob Smith.

Bill Wilson was a con man and was looking for his next scam. That call led him to Dr. Bob and the Gate Lodge owned by a wealthy member of the Good Year Tire Empire called Henrietta Seiberling, who is also a member of the Spiritual and Religious Oxford Group that was eventually banned from performing its satanic rituals in many Churches and countries. A replica of the phone booth is now at the former Mayflower, Hotel, now called Mayflower Manor at 259 S Main St, Akron, Ohio. It is in a security building, but if you buzz the security guard and give him the code words of "I'm a friend of Bill W" they will allow you access to hallowed ground where Bill Wilson was running down his next lead.

From this humble start, Bill Wilson learned that there is money to be made in Religion and conning the masses into the cult called Alcoholics Anonymous. He also learned that to circumvent the Constitution of the United States and the establishment clause of the separation of church and state, he can not call it Religious, he must call it Spiritual. The path of Bill Wilson on his Spiritual, not Religious quest in becoming extremely wealthy, not working and having adulterous affairs with the female members of the cult now has the air of the path of Moses out of Israel and the pilgrimage is followed intensely by the fanatical members of this cult numbering less than 2 million people.

All of the locations of Bill Wilson and his Spiritual, not Religious con all have the same attributes. The clergy was involved heavily, the homes of the main players, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob are major pilgrimage spots every year and were paid for by the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous and they didn't have to work for them, just grow the cult and the money came flowing in. Dr.Bob's house, whose mortgage was paid by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation is one such mecca drawing members throughout the year. The Stepping Stones compound in Katonah New York who Bill Wilson and his "friends" conned the widow Helen Griffith out of for a quarter of its value that the Alcoholics Foundation paid for from donations and books sales of the cult, all of the way to his birth place of the Wilson House in Dorset Vermont. For not being Religious and only being Spiritual the church and clergy have had a big hand in growing the cult at all of its growth points and besides the majority of the chanting rituals and ceremonies being performed in church basements, the main command and control headquarters of Alcoholics Anonymous now reside at the Interchurch Center on 475 Riverside Drive in New York.

You tell me if it's Spiritual, not Religious?

that says 'www.orange-papers.org'

I use it on meeting schedules etc placed on bulleting boards. I like to make several stamps on AA literature posted by their evangelists, and and promotional material by rehab profiteers certainly is stamped.
This would be an outstanding location. I do not forsee being there in the near future, however if any of our people are in the area, it might be good to write some web addresses on the wall there- or any of the other AA shrines.

World's most famous phone booth claims world record

Date Posted: April 02, 2007

Scotland's Pennan phone box, declared by a local tourism board as "the most famous phone booth in the world," was the scene of record breaking achievement. 16 gymnasts filled the famous phone box, breaking the booth-stuffing record set in 2003 in Edinburgh, where 12 adults and 2 children succeeded on their second attempt to fill a booth with themselves.

The Edinburgh record only includes 2 children, though, while the more recent Pennan booth-cram was all youngsters. Is it inevitable, then, that another record-seeking group will fill a booth with, say, 29 infants or 30 dwarfs?

The Payphone Project asks: When will standards be set in defining the terms of this critical world record?

Next record to be made..... 16 gymnasts holding a Bill Wilson chanting ceremony in a phone booth....

Actually Bill Wilson's "white light" experience happened 6 months prior to the Mayflower incident. And Rev. Tunks gave Wilson Henrietta Seiberling's phone number who in turn arranged for him to meet Dr. Bob Smith at her house.

Poor girl, AA marriages often end in tragedy and divorce. AA members have a much higher chance of failure because they are "powerless" over their lives and must pray for a miracle to some made up god and chant Bill Wilson for the rest of their lives, instead of looking for real help. They are also told to dissociate from the loved ones, something that if Lois Wilson had taken that advice with Bill Wilson's adultery, Alcoholics Anonymous would not be alive today and they never would have been able to keep the Stepping Stones Compound talked out of the grieving widow, Helen Griffith.

They could make that into a shrine for Bill Wilson chanters also, or you could just try to sell it at Sotheby's as a Religious Relic. It would be make a nice 12 Step "hotline phone" for the elite Intergroups of AA and they could charge something like $19.95 a minute for the call, but you would be guaranteed to be put in touch with "high level" cult prospect hunters such as Clancy I.

The author of the biography of Bill Wilson that was written by "Matthew J. Raphael" (a pseudonym), "Bill W. and Mr. Wilson", says that he has photographic proof that Bill Wilson's story is physically impossible. The pages from 7 to 13 explain the story:

The most relevant lines are:



"None of the several narratives of Bill W.'s moment of truth conforms to the actual configuration of the lobby in 1935. They all misleadingly depict Bill crossing between the elevator bank and the bar at opposite ends. Given the deployment of furniture in 1935 (according to an old photograph), so as to leave an aisle to the desk from the Main Street stairs, the only possible path for Bill to have paced ran north and south across the width of the lobby, with the elevators at one end. But what stood at the other end, past the desk in the middle, was the State Street entrance. There was no bar on the same lobby level as the elevators. It lay neither "down the lobby" (AA) nor "at one end of my beat" (AACA) nor "at one end of the lobby" (PIO) nor "directly across from his path of march" (BW). To enter the Merryman Tavern, Bill would have had to climb seven steps to the mezzanine level, and he could not have seen inside without such an ascent. (This may account for the otherwise inexplicable emphasis in the accounts on bar sounds rather than alluring smells or sights.) Once Wilson had picked up the phone, moreover, a pillar would have blocked his view of the mezzanine. The phone bank, tucked around the corner of the lobby extention, would have provided him sanctuary from ocular temptation."

Page 11.

William Borchert, who wrote the sanitized fairy tale made-for-TV movie called "My Name Is Bill W.", also falsified the story of Bill Wilson in the Mayflower Hotel in Akron in 1935, struggling to choose between the angel and the devil — that is, having to choose between calling a Christian minister, or going to the bar for a drink. Mathew J. Raphael wrote:



Borchert also told me that he was aware that the scene in the Mayflower lobby (see Foreword) could not have happened the way it has been written. But the legend has become so deeply entrenched, he felt he had no choice but to follow the myth rather than the facts.
