Not Coming Back, But Growing in Grace

At the end of every AA meeting, everyone gathers around the table (the coffee machine comes later), and after praying the "Our Father", everyone chants: "Keeping Coming Back, It works if you work it."

I have announced for years that the program does not work, yet part of this cult's scam lies in infusing members with a perpetual sense of failure, as if the reason why they do not stay sober or happy joyous, and free resides with the individual member.

AA is a fraud.

I have met too many people who have gotten sober without AA, and I have met many people who used to go to meetings, but stopped going, yet they stayed sober!

So, "Keep Coming Back" is a come-on which we should reject right away.

In fact, most false teachers and bankrupted gurus want people to keep coming back to them, to seek them for little bits and pieces of advice, yet the greater part of their prospects' lives remains unclear, misdirected, and unreal.

Such was the case for me, who had been brainwashed to believe that by working the Twelve Steps, everything would work out just fine.

The miracles which the AA program promises on pags 83 and 84 never materialized.

Those promises cannot be met in a program which teaches people to seem themselves as condemned, leg-less reprobates.

To be condemned to a life of taking one's inventory, of staying one step ahead of a disease from which we can never be cured: what kind of life is that?

It's not a life at all.

AA is a bereft and bankrupted program which teaches people that they have nothing, and yet they must keep working to maintain this nothing.

Instead of working for something out of nothing, God gives us everything through His Son, and we can do nothing but receive from Him.

That is the Gospel:

"31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." (Romans 8: 31-34)

There is no going back, once we enter into His Kingdom (Colossians 1: 13).

Let us grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord, instead (2 Peter 3: 18)
