I just love how these people who are the most obsessed with “open mindedness” and being inclusive are the first to start labelling people as dogmatic or judgmental if they say anything outside of the prepackaged liberal new Agey approved toolkit.
Here’s the thing…the reason why you think anyone who claims to know/have absolute truth is being dogmatic, the reason why you think no one, including yourselves can know absolute truth, isn’t because it is impossible, it’s just because you don’t have it. You have no spirit of truth in you nor a desire for truth in you – you actually think that anyone who claims Truth is a dangerous zealot promoting dogma. You actually think the safe route is to simply put your faith in “no truth” and that everyone’s truth is truth.
But you are so wrong friend. Deceived. And wrong. And actually really annoying. Because out of all the “zealots” that I meet you are the worst kind. Because at least the J.W’s, Mormons, Muslims, fanatical tongue speakers and atheists have the balls to actually have a belief. But your dogma is to pretend that you don’t have any.
You aren’t defending “open mindedness” or promoting “many paths to God”…you are actually an enemy of God, a prostitute trying to teach us about marriage.
And I’m sick of it! Quoting early AA history and Bill Wilson quotes and random shabby chic Bhuddist sayings to support an “inclusive” recovery philosophy. It’s bullshit. Bill Wilson spent 20 years struggling with suicidal depression and untreated sex addiction and spearheaded a demonic cult that oppresses and destroys the spirits of people more than alcohol ever did, because he walked away from the biblical truth that saved him and exchanged it for an angel of light and all that it offered.
But there IS still a way out. One way. God’s way.
The devastating effects of fools thinking they’re wise.
God bless you Layla, keep on!
This is awesome! So refreshing. Your blog always gives me a lot to think about.
I’m sick of it as well! It is extremely manipulative dialogue. Somehow the only truly “humble” people are those who never arrive at anything solid. Wishy washy is the new spiritual vogue.
Very interesting points about the deviated path that some in early AA took. Reading some of the literature on its history sheds a lot of light on these ‘clues’. Thanks for being a voice of reason among many who would claim otherwise.
Thank God that some did not turn away from what Bill did. It may be a minority and obscured and slandered but it is very much alive and well in AA.
btw love your posts Layla
Amen! This is what I like to hear (read). I’m sick and tired of the accepted song and dance that goes on in recovery circles that turns idolatry into a virtue. The most judgmental group of people I’ve ever met are the ones who claim this code of “love & tolerance” for all spirituality….so long it seems as they’re in agreement in rejecting Christ.
