A suggested program that has turned into a program of suggestions.
The arrogance of someone to instruct another what to do and where to go in A.A. astonishes and bewilders me. Is it loneliness or stupidity – grow up
There is nothing wrong with wearing a good pair of shoes as long as they don’t step on the toes of others. A.A. is not about shoes or does anyone here in A.A need to be sponsored. An A.A. group itself has worked great from the beginning.
This Midtown group is obviously sponsored driven and found a lot of suckers to follow them rather than ones own heart. Remember? fellowship not a follow-ship. The outside Sponsorship System that is not mentioned in the Big Book, Steps or Traditions of A.A. The sponsorship system is the downfall of A.A. and evil in A.A the lack of humility. The message of A.A. is clear and precise No human power can relive us and God could and would if sought. I fell sorry for the sick ones that will have to go check with the sponsor system to find out what this is about instead of listening with ones own heart. Bill's last message contributes the growth of A.A. is due to anonymity – read the responsibility pledge then look at the sponsored sect groups they and their clones participate in calling it “A.A.”
A.A. is clear “We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.”
Midtown was a direct result of Sponsorship
A.A. is about a H.P through grace and faith
Sponsors are out of Control freaks in A.A. trying to turn it into a religion through of laws
Of fear and works
Let go let God for it is only but for the Grace anyway oh-ya unless you belong to the sponsorship system.
Questions for the sponsorship system:
How can one claim to be responsible for someone in A.A. when they cannot take care of their own family blood?
How can one claim to be responsible for someone with a disease?
Where in the program in the Big Book does it even mention the label?
Where in the steps is the label mention?
Where in the A.A. Traditions?
NO WHERE! only on their promoted literature after Bill W died
Oh ya Clearance who was in partners with Hank P who owned stock in A.A. at one time did his own promotion back then. Dr Bob and Sister Ignatia needed them to help in Town hospital.
A sponsor is a legend in their own mind, A sponsor should find someone outside of A.A. who is drunk and needs help the inside of A.A. works great as a group without the outside system label craze telling others, covered up by good works of course
