1946: "Fred" talking w/ AA member asking what he has to do.

[IGOROZKARSKY]

AA IS SO ELUSIVE.

BEFORE YOU GO,

IT SEEMS SO NICE.

WHEN YOU´VE BEEN,

YOU WAKE UP TO REALLITY.

YOU´VE ENTERED INTO A RELIGIOUS CULT.

[somethingdiffereable]

Nothing but a nasty religious cult disguised as a support group. Lower success rate than nothing at all. That makes it of less than any use at all. A worthless cult. Bunch of lies and propanda. Over 5% of people quit on their own every years. AA has a less than 5% success rate. You do the math!

[sirmcgowington]

You want a sign on a youtube channel? You get nothing.

You and I are the same as death is the great equalizer.

I have the Faith that I am ok, even in death.

But until then, I apologize for nothing. I stand on my own two feet as you and refuse your ridicule and your games.

If you want a life with no God, that's what you shall get.

A miracle is as simple as changing your mind or going with the wind.

[IGOROZKARSKY]

THIS PROPAGANDA IS VERY UNCONVINCING !

[Turdbuckethat]

What's with the 3 circles in the video, some sort of secret cult symbol?

[rabidgnome1]

what is this clip from???? please let me know ,, 5 yrs sober and well in the middle of A.A.,

[RazorFamousCrazer]

@rabidgnome1 that video was created in the 40s before the 12 and 12 came out that was when AA didnt have any traditions

[sirmcgowington]

Hustle them into A.A. my ass. Maybe some of A.A. IS a cult.

In our group, you're welcome to come find out if you qualify... before the meeting starts if possible. If you identify, then it's up to you to elbow your way in. If you don't want it, then there's the door. Get the fuck out!

You think we're harsh? Bullshit! We're a mother's milk compared to bourbon.

[draoi99]

@sirmcgowington What? There is only one requirement for membership. If you're telling people GTFO then you're not an AA group. Many Aa groups have degenerated into cults, sounds like your group is a little deviant.

[sirmcgowington]

@draoi99 I disagree with you. The Only Requirement for A.A. is that you are first and foremost a real alcoholic. If you're not, badmitton and basketweaving are next door. Next, do you want to quit for good and all? If not, go drink. Next, do you need spiritual help? If not, got play Suduko and decide to stop or moderate.

Don't waste your time or my time in A.A. Don't let nobody else read your big book for you and don't let anybody, like draoi99 pump slogans down your throat.

[sirmcgowington]

When that guy on our left says, "I couldn't either at first." ... our group parts right there.

We close that book, grab it, and tip our hat, and say "Good day."

What the fuck are they coddling the new prospect for?

God is everything or God is nothing. That's fucking it! If not God then go drink some booze!

Or go find some more merciful program or a bad A.A. meeting where they hug and kiss your ass sober.

That shit don't work for me.

There is a turning point for the real alky

[IGOROZKARSKY]

@sirmcgowington

INTRODUCE ME TO GOD

& I´LL SHAKE HIS HAND !

UNLESS HE´S A DOOR-KNOB.

YOU´LL NEVER CONVINCE ME

THAT DOOR-KNOBS CAN

PRODUCE MIRACLES !

[joedigits]

Love it !

These are the people who were waiting for me when I came in. They had the answers I needed.

[kdvicious]

Well for one, if you were in AA, you'd know much more than simply ripping on it from an outsider point of view. If you're not a sober member of AA, you just don't get it. I'm not out to make people believe in my god, that's not what it's about.

Also, you can't disprove god either. And if that what you're set out to do, good luck. I am done with commenting on this video.

[kdvicious]

The one thing I have going for myself is Isis working in my life, and you want to take that away from me and say I'm wrong.

I couldn't stop drinking on my own in the past. And I tried many many times. But when I decided to turn it over to Isis via the third step, it worked. Do you want to explain that to me?

[kdvicious]

You couldn't be more wrong. AA has literally saved my life. So if it's a cult, then I'd rather be in it than dead.

[angurisloud]

Interesting, anyone know the name of this film?
