Tradition Eleven -- No Longer True

11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we

need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and

films.

This is not true. I have seen advertisements for AA in the newspapers and on TV.

Of course, I am not surprised that the AA program has to resort to such means. The more people who were attracted to these programs find out what really goes on, the more likely they are not to go, and to discourage others not to.

The program simply does not work, does not take care of the deepest need of man, does not lead man to the Truth that sets us free.

The AA Big Book distorts the Bible, takes passages out of context, invites man to look at himself more, even when claiming to take him out of himself.

The very notion that people will trust a "loving God" as revealed in a "group conscience" has not received the proper thrashing and calumny that it deserves.
