"Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them." (AA, pg 84)
The Promises sound great in the Big Book. Who wouldn't want to have peace and freedom from fear?
Yet the AA cult does not deliver on those promises. In fact, with all the demands that people work and keep working to realize those promises in their lives, they spiral into a despair of hating themselves all the more.
No one will find peace in constantly, frequently taking their "inventory."
What good is there if people spend their whole lives looking at their sins?
"He 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?" (John 8:32)
God gave us His Own Son!
And Paul could not make it clearer: He freely gives us all things with His Son!
"Freely" implies that you do not earn it, work for it, strive for it.
Yet AA says "work for them."
At the very least, don't give me this lie that Christians can work a program in AA and get where they need to go.
It's either AA or Christ Jesus. But it cannot be both.
