i feel the pain of discipline and i thank you for this faith based website. it helped me understand what AA stands for, thank you again.
Thank you Mr. Elliott. I am glad it could help you sir. I will pray for you right now.
Thank you Jack, actually there is a 12 step programme based 100% on biblical teaching. Blessings.
Yes….very good suggestion sir. Thank you.
I am grateful to your article.I am mother with an alcoholic son and was at the verge of giving up
Hello my friend, I am so sorry for the pain you must feel. I am praying now for you and your son. God does not give up on us and amother’s love never does either. God bless you ma’am.
Thank you Jack for writing such a great article. As a born-again Christian, who has had struggles with alcoholism in the past, it’s refreshing to hear another believer, like yourself, speak about AA in a more positive way than most churches do, if at all. It is through AA, that I came to know God even deeper, and discovered my mission field and my true calling; which is to help others who have had their lives destroyed because of their addictions, come into a true relationship with the one true and loving God, through His son Jesus Christ. God is so good! Thanks again,
Hello Mr. Martel and thank you for the encouragment sir. Amen to what you wrote, as AA sent you into the mission field to do unto others (Matt 25:35-36) as unto Him (Mat 25:40).
I surprised you recommended AA.
This organization was spawned by the devil. Bill Wilson, the founder who was into the occult practice of ouji board and had seances with the devil got the 12 steps of AA from the devil. I can furnish more information if you so wish.
Only God can set the captives free by the new birth in Christ.
I researched Mr. Wilson and not one word of what you wrote about this man was true. AA sprang from The Oxford Group as a non-denominational movement modeled after first-century Christianity, so yes, only Christ can set us free, we must help one another when we can as AA was established with Christian principles, not that from a Ouija board, which I think you meant but you misspelled it apparently, but no historical evidence suggests that Bill Wilson, found of AA was also founder of the occult practice of Ouija board, so you are totally wrong and whoever told you this lie must be confronted. Businessman Elijah Bond had the idea to patent a planchette sold with a board on which the alphabet was printed, much like the previously existing talking boards. Bond filed on May 28, 1890 for patent protection and thus is credited with the invention of the Ouija board. Issue date on the patent was February 10, 1891. He received U.S. Patent 446,054. Bond was an attorney and was an inventor of other objects in addition to this device. Please get your facts straight and making libelous statements about Mr. Wilson, the founder of AA.
