“We are watching the Death of Intellect here. Our society has abandoned thought and is now governing itself by emotionalism and mob mentality.” – Matt Walsh
Welcome to 12 step recovery fellowships! Where God’s expression in Group conscience has been replaced by town hall lynchings and the delusion that people need legislative permission to do anything! And why? Because we have replaced our tradition of God being our ultimate authority for an imaginary god who is really Satan pulling your strings. The blind leading the blind. That my friends is your #1 slogan!
BOOM!!!! Tell it lady!! lol…Gosh I love this blog!!
I totally agree with you – it’s insane what I’ve been seeing and hearing. Like when you say “It is the logic of a rapist trying to teach sexual morality”…insane! People talking about principles of recovery and love and the traditions while on a crusade to destroy the reputation of others. It is sickening.
LOVE this!! I am your number one blog stalker – but in a good way tee hee! Re posting this!
Who doesn’t like a town hall lynching? 🙂
Thank God for the traditions! Thank God for Bill Wilson’s express thoughts on inviolate autonomy….there are tons of literature on this stuff – and quite frankly, it is the Area/District table leaders responsibility to ensure that the table is well educated in our traditions literature before allowing such grievous motions and ideas to be brought to the table. Rather than making a “motion”…these people should be doing a step 4!
Amen!! Praise the Lord!! This is at the heart of the matter – who is the source of these ideas?? God or Satan!
What exactly do they think they can do with these “legislative edicts”?…can they really stop you or anyone else for that matter from saying, doing and being exactly what you want? What do they think “removing” a meeting name from a list will do? (That is a disgusting travesty of our traditions if I ever heard one)…but what do they think that will accomplish? ….have they never met you? lol! As if that would stop the work of the Lord! In fact that kind of unrecovered behavior and control tactics has the opposite effect! It makes people curious about this Jesus of yours! It’s how we met remember?
THANK you for this blog!! I love my fellowship and hope and wish that people will just respect people and themselves enough to stop picking fights with people just because no one in their life challenges their victim mentality.
I really needed this today – I am more than willing to not be blind anymore or lead anyone blindly either!
Where the hell is the like button for this???!!!!
Censorship 101 Motherfu*****
Excuse my anger – but this is bullshit!! They’re killing us over here in the UK too.
They want to rule and govern and act like wardens but deny it and pretend they care about newcomers! Ha! No – they just want to stay newcomers.
Let’s just cut the crap and talk about what is really going on with these trolls.
You have power. They don’t. This bothers them.

I am planning on attending the conference in March I believe it is? Perhaps there will be an Area meeting then? I have a motion of my own: I nominate you Layla Nadda as Queen.
They already treat you as theirs. And this is WHY they are so angry – because they keep failing to bring you down to their level – and they continue to ignore the invitation to rise to yours.
Love this blog!!
I love this! So true!!
This is bang on!! I almost cried reading it…I am not alone!!!!!
This is an awesome blog – I really needed this!
Dear Layla! Preach it sister!!! You are my hero – not just because I want to be like you, but because you really want to be like what God wants you to be. Loyal to the truth. My God what will they think of next? They are writing up charges against you in their mock court! Pretty soon they’re gonna be dragging you away to jail for talking about the real truth. That’s ok, I would come to the prison to hear you. Even in chains and behind bars you’d still be more free than anyone I’ve ever met. Thanks for being you.
WOW. I checked out this blog at the suggestion of a friend, half heartedly I must say. I was expecting just another self centred ramble of “look how cool my life is” with some cheesy pictures and memes of “I am woman – hear me roar”. Sorry, but I am a little jaded by all the fluffy emotionalism dominating recovery-esque blogs.
But I was not expecting this! What a wonderful surprise to find real meat and potatoes instead of straw! This rocks!!!! You rock!!! Thank you for getting my heart racing again!!
