Several Comments

Having just joined this site, I have several comments to make:

First, I respectfully congratulate its people on their ministry, mission, and service.

Second, I have devoted 18 years to researching the early A.A. Christian Fellowship, its basic ideas from the Bible, and its astonishing cures and 75% to 93% documented success rate among seemingly hopeless, medically incurable real alcoholics who went to any length to establish a relationship and their fellowship with the Creator and His son Jesus Christ.

Third, the darkness and idolatry that more and more permeate those purporting to write and speak for the recovery community needs to be eliminated by illumination and devotion--the illumination is that A.A. Cofounder Dr. Bob required of newcomers that they believe in God and come to Him through accepting Christ; that the program of recovery was Bible-based and involved abstinence, reliance on God, obeying His will, growing in fellowship through prayer and Bible study and seeking His guidance and reading Christian literature and then carrying to others the message that God had done for them what they could not do for themselves.

Fourth, there is as much room for born again Christians in A.A. today as there was in the founding days and program. And they need to learn their history, stand their ground, and devote themselves to serving, glorifying, thanking, obeying and serving our Heavenly Father. For Dr. Bob's last message line was: Your Heavenly Father will never let you down! He won't.

In His Service, Dick B.
