Case in point:

This news story would not have been released as printed if WKRN had chosen to comply with AA's media request being discussed here: http://www.orange-papers.org/forum/node/2055#new

A minor huh? Come one come all, any age. We'll share our experience, strength, and grope you.

The only good thing is the mother has reported this perv and his name is for all to see. Perhaps others will follow suit and report these sickos and they won't remain anonymous. In AA the pervs seem to have more rights than the victims. Members can be too scared to report these crimes or mention names and the perps feel comfortable acting out.

By publicizing this incident of molestation of a child in an AA meeting in Tennessee it may prevent it from happening again. The usual AA apologetic excuses will be used, but the fact that the Groups, Intergroups, Districts and Areas of Alcoholics Anonymous have been identified and they know that they are now being monitored, they will take actions to prevent this from happening (hopefully, it depends on if they want to fix the problem or just think of ways to cover it up).

If these incidents were ignored, covered up and not reported, which is what the majority of AA members do, the problems such as these would never be fixed and brainwashed AA members would just say "it doesn't happen in my group." Of course you will also have AA members trying to derail this thread with garbage. My apologies for them in advance, they don't know any better, they were brainwashed that way and hopefully they will get the help they need because AA obviously isn't doing it for them.

Tough guy.

AA is a religious cult dressed up to look like a treatment for alcoholism.

Little blue pills and fisting. Living life on the edge Clara.

See, what I mean, YM?

I would punch anyone that touched me unwelcomed fashion. But, I am not familiar with fisting, Conan. Perhaps you can share?

HEY! I thought you weren't responding to my posts, let alone following me around on the net. But you surely do think I am correct, don't you?

And here you go, YM. I knew it wouldn't take long to prove my point.

Oh Clara, how could anyone pass up your extensive comments on the use of Viagra? You seem to be very experienced in this category. With high comedy like that going on, who could pass it up a trip to HuffPo? So, does your husband know you go online to discuss his penis valve issues?

Good lord, is your reading comprehension that bad? I clearly stated who the party was, and it wasn't my husband.

So, according to you, stalking is justified, even of a person you said wasn't worth your while! Frankly, I can see why you can't pass it up. I AM that fascinating.

What does admitting your an alcoholic have to do with the molestation of a child by Jeremy Bartles in a Nashville AA meeting. Step one of the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous is:

"1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable."

Step one has nothing to do with preventing molestation in Alcoholics Anonymous in Tennessee by Jeremy Bartles, just like Step one of AA had nothing to do with preventing stalking in Manchester, New Hampshire in the Ex-alderman Russell P. Ouellette incident (http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/2065) or the pedophilia and child pornography of the AA Sponcees children by AA Sponsor Randolph Pozdol in Broward County AA? (http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/2035) All three of these incidents have hit the news big time in July 2012. How many more are being covered up and attempting to be dismissed by saying "A quick fist would have taken care of that"?????

P.S. Keep it up JR. Looks like you have found yourself a personal stalker here on this forum, so you must be getting under somebody's skin.

Gee, someone responds to another on a forum, and that constitutes stalking in your book.

Stalking is chasing someone around the internet, regardless to what and where they post. I don't think this qualifies at all, YM.

"Stalking is chasing someone around the internet, regardless to what and where they post".

According to this definition, you are a stalker too on this forum. Troll = Stalker = Unwanted

stalk·ing [ stáwking ]

1.stealthy pursuit: the act or process of stealthily following or trying to approach somebody or something
2.act of steady harassment: the crime of harassing somebody with persistent, inappropriate, and unwanted attention

OMG, YM! I simply think responding on a forum where both are members doesn't qualify. JR, of course, HAS been known to chase people around the net simply to follow that particular person, regardless of interest in the subject. He's actually rather proud of it. Conan, too!

Orange has never said that I am unwanted, YM. In fact, JR has often posted how my presence here has increased the hits many fold. Why not go to RFR? Ben has been so kind to me there that he even told a poster that she would be in a time out if she kept bringing me up and told her if she had been wronged, she had other options. Of course, she hadn't been been. And instead of just complying and making good use of the forum, she left. What was ironic is when someone posted a link here to a Washingtop Post article, she was there, defending her right to post her opinion and how she felt. People are so funny. What they want for themselsve, they wish to limit on others.

You have options, YM. You choose not to utilyze them.
