:AA is not a cult. It has helped millions, including my dear nephew. If you don't like it, fine--that is your right. But don't spread you lies about it. You will be called on them."
Just saying something is not a cult does not mean that it is no longer a cult.
On this blog, and through the efforts and research of doctors, counselors, and empirical tests, the record is getting clearer: AA does not work.
Furthermore, the elements within the program, as well as the claims, distorted references to scripture, as well as competing demands of "The Program" further establish that AA is a cult.
And a cult which does not work, despite the pleadings of comments like the statement above.
There are not millions of people who have been helped by AA. The numbers are ever in dispute in the first place, and there are barely one to two million people in meetings to begin with.
The above comment also breaks one of the key codes of AA, one of anonymity. It is a disgrace that individuals in the program, mor who are connected to the program, find their peace and privacy routinely invaded.
I have also read Twitter accounts were individuals promote their AA affiliation, all in direct violation of the hollow traditions of that cult.
Amazing!
The denial, hyperbole, and hypocrisy of every defense of this program is getting exposed more and more.
From what I have seen, and what I have witnessed, this is more than a mere disagreement about what works and what does not work.
This about truth and error, about freedom and bondage, about life and death.
AA leads to depression, illness, dysfunction, and death.
All the urban myths around the cult cannot do away with the simple truth, which is that the program does not work, and for those few who do get sober, it has nothing to do with AA in the first place.
