Gunthar2000 claims: "AA wants you in AA for the rest of your life."
So you're proposing marriage to AA? LOL! You're getting kind of freaky with the "Defense of Marriage Acts and Same-Sex Marriage Laws" angle. What if someone is already married? Are you Mormon or pushing polygamy? LOL!
That is exactly what cults do. Mind fucks!

"Nothing in your claim makes any sense."
The key claim of stepper cult indoctrination is "jails, institutions or death" if you leave. This lie is what traps people in the stepper cult more than anything else. The key aim of the stepper cult is to pass the message on, recruit more members to the cult.
When I first became involved in steppism, in 1980 I was young and was not prepared to give up the night life, pubs, clubs etc so I carried on going to these venues but drinking "non-alcoholic" drinks. Did the stepper gurus give me any praise or encouragement for doing this? No of course not they were totally against me mixing with non-steppers at these functions, they just wanted me to attend stepper meetings. Stopping drinking is irrelevant (unless you want to move up in the stepper "time hierarchy") Its going to as many meetings and doing as much service work (cult recruitment) as you can that counts.
Of course AA wants you in the cult for life we all know that, same as we all know AA is chock full of Control Freaks and Sexual Predators and the generally mentally ill and there are a lot of suicides. You steppers can continue denying all you want, but all the Anti AA people on this forum know the truth.....AA is a lying, fear mongering, predator, mind screwing, death cult.....for life, if you don't get deprogramed

Did Guntar catch something? Maybe his spouse has been unfaithful and brought home the clap. Sounds like a bad marriage, one that may not last a lifetime.
Guntdar tells alkie, "I'm glad that my head is not as fucked up as yours." That means Guntar concedes that, at least on some level, in some measure, his own head is fucked up - just not so much as alkie's.
Now we're gettin somewhere.

Thanks DeCon, for pointing out becket's comment. Let me be the first to say, we find her to be credible.
I also want to point out how much of a good friend you are to Gunthar. His post was completely misinterpreted (on Gunthars part) and you knew this, yet you went to bat for him anyway.

I am not so sure I see anything problematic with what you referenced, Gunthar. I have certainly learned alot in AA that I can use for the rest of my life, and I would certainly encourage someone to check out AA if there was a situation with that that warranted. You can give back by heping other alcoholics in any number of ways. I feel that I am doing that with my willingness to go to Mexcio to get the Nalexone for a friend of mine if he wants to try it and can get the go ahead from his doctor.

Gunthar, maybe you should calm down. Maybe take a nap...Źźzzzzzzzzzz
You couldn't be more right, Gunthar, but if you have bothered to read the rest of my posts on the subject, I pitched it as an idea for him to consider and if he liked it, to talk with his doctor about it. Even Naltexone isn't a stand alone therapy and is supposed to be supported with counselling or a support group.
Do you mind sharing why you find pointing out a treatment choice to an active alcoholic is a bad idea and that I shouldn't be doing it? He doesn't like AA. I seem to recall one of the women on this blog was outraged that an AA wouldn't put someone in their car and help them to find options. At the time, I posted that I wouldn't, either, because AA worked for me and (as it says on page 95) they can follow their own conscious and find what works for them. But I am willing to help my friend, if he is willing to try, even to the extent of going to Mexico if it could be obtained at a better price. He's uninsured and I don't know if insurance would even cover it.

gunthar, I know that you rush to respond to anything I post, but it would be helpful if you read my posts BEFORE doing it. I set the acceptable perimeters. I'm not trying to play doctor.

I really can't figure you, Gunthar. I'll go back to simply believing that AA is the best and only option because it worked for me. Therefore, it is the sole thing I can suggest.

"I have certainly learned alot in AA that I can use for the rest of my life"
Like what for instance? any specific examples .... or do you just mean you can sit at meetings spouting cult speech, saying you are powerless of alcohol and repeating the same old drunkalogue, confessing the same old character defects and whatnot for the rest of your life?
Other than repetitive cult indoctrination and slogans can you actually state anything tangible that you have learned in the stepper cult that the rest of us could USE for the rest of our lives?
......and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Matthew 24:11
NoAAUK ask Clara what she meant by this statement:
Clara said;
"I have certainly learned alot in AA that I can use for the rest of my life"
Like what for instance?
I was also truly interested in the specifics. I would love to know what she learned that she did not have the good sense to know already. Clara strikes me as a very intelligent person. Does AA take credit for what you already know about life too? Like good judgement and qualities of character that you already own; but surface when you stop abusing alcohol. I seemed to notice a tendency for people to give "The Program" credit for just about everything. I think AA can possibly help new comers who arrive there with no good common sense to begin with; yet I think that would depend on the sponsor they choose and if they have some experience in dealing with personality disorders. She must have overlooked your question. Otherwise, I feel certain she would have responded by now because she has made reference to the value of the program and the 12 steps to her personal growth on so many occasions.
Off the top of my head, I can think of a few things that I was reminded of because of my AA experience: I can thank the program for reminding me that many times the consensus of opinion is not the correct one. Allot of what I heard in AA meetings is a perfect example of this. Also, Trust your judgement, instincts and follow your heart. Most importantly to thine own self be true. The only person you have to answer to is yourself in the end. Don't ever take advice seriously from strangers. Don't let them pass judgement on you or allow them to determine whats right for you; when they know nothing about you and show no respect for your intelligence because they have been sober longer than you. There is definitely a hierarchy that exist in AA and Im sorry that the new comers are not treated with more respect. They might stick around. Thats just off the top of my head.
It interesting, Sue, because of the very things you say in your second paragraph. Even in the first one, good qualities that I had that I hid under alcohol abuse. What I developed what a willingness to listen to it at all. I didn't have to take advice, but I could consider it and remember that I don't have all the answers. I could be entirely too self-reliant and not look at the people around me as some of the greatest allies I could have. That isn't necessarily in an AA room. It could be any place. What developed was the willingness to believe in something positive, and it could even be myself. What also was the most helpful was developing a love and appreciation for women.
For the most part, I was bright and I was certainly attractive enough to be able to do anything I would have wanted. But that doesn't equate to personal confidence. I was literally afraid of the world and of everything I didn't know. Ironically, I was also afraid to find out. My natural curiousity of the world was stymied somewhere along the way, and it did real damage to my life. I had my share of wonderful opportunitiies that fear kept me from utlilyzing to a good personal advantage. I was crippled by a fear of asking anyone for help, for guidance, for assistance. I was literally afraid of people, what they might think. While I had a loving father, I had a mother that found it difficult to communicate on any emotional level. One of the best examples to describe her is the movie Carrie and the scene where the mean girls are throwing tampons at her because she hadn't been told about mensturation. My mother had three daughters but she discussed very few things with us if it embarrassed her. One of those things happened to be the facts of life. When I was little, I walked in while she was changing one of those huge pads they used in the day. She was angry and upset with me, and screamed at me to leave the bathroom. I went to get my father and he told me not to worry about it. But I WAS worried because I thought she was bleeding to death and went to get the neighbor lady, who was a nurse. My mother, of course, was very angry and embarrassed and I got in trouble because I was the source of that embarrassment. It was a very defining event for me because I never trusted my mother after that, and by extention, most women in general. I remember sitting in that theater, watching that particular scene and knowing that could have been me. This woman had been wonderful to me. The second time she advocated for me was when I was at her house and she was making cookies. I was telling her about this friend I met and how he had a toy. She put together that this man was masutrbating in front of me, and she asked where I saw him. I told her where and that I was supposed to go. In fact, it was then and could I have extra cookies? She got her husband, and they followed my bike with their car, caught him and threw him in the back seat where they then took him to the police station. My mother's first question was, why didn't you tell me? Well, I didn't even know he was doing something wrong, and then... why would I? I remember the look the neighbor lady gave my mother over my head. I heard her later tell her that her repression was harming their children and that it was dangerous.
What I found in AA were WOMEN that could be informative, friendly, and selfless. A great source of experience and guidance. They were wonderful and a big difference. You aren't going to find everything in an AA room to be perfect, but I found enough gold in it all to be able to move forward and have a productive life without crippling fear. Could I have done this with something else? Perhaps. Do I wish I had done it at an earlier time in my life? I sure do, but I am also happy where I am and not bitter. I am grateful for this wonderful group of women that were so helpful to me and continue to be. Without it, this reationship I have and treasure with my own sister wouldn't be possible.
I don't know if any of this answers your question or not, Sue, but thank you for asking. Lord, I feel as if I did a fifth step. Sorry that I was so windy.

where they voted to not sign court cards from criminals recruited from jails and prisons by the Folly Beach canned prospect hunting trips called "Corrections Committees" in Area 62 District 73? How did the criminals feel when they arrived at the AA clubhouses in Myrtle Beach and were told that their court cards could not be signed? Did they feel like they were lied to by the Folly Beach klan of Alcoholics Anonymous?
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
Folly Beach is is Charleston, JR. If the criminal had spent any time in AA and paid attention, (s)he would know that each group can handle in its own way and that there is a chance that their sign might not be signed or that there are rules for it, i.e. show up on time. I saw that happen on Sunday night at the couples meetings. A guy came in for the last 30 seconds of the meeting, and the chair didn't sign his card. He told him another meeting started in a half an hour.
I don't understand the flack, JR. You don't think people should be mandated at all. But if they are, why shouldn't they be expected to cooperate?
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Well now, the "Official" statements of the main coven of Alcoholics Anonymous at the Interchurch Center in New York states that it doesn't "Provide progress reports on court clients to the referring agency. Follow up or try to control its members." and your New Mexico coven of Bill Wilson chanters should be immediately de-listed from all AA websites for not following the scripture of AAWS.
Alcoholics Anonymous "suggestions" from the Interchurch on signing Court Cards (SMF-177) What AA does/Doesn't Do http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/1601
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
Great point, JR. It is nothing short of cruel to capture prospects in a canned hunt and then, once they assimilate, refuse to sign their court cards. The nerve of those people makes me want to puke. I have no respect for that.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Nice testament to 'wonderful' AA, lets dissect it a little
"What I developed what a willingness to listen to it at all."
Do you actually associate with anyone outside of the stepper cult......do you have any other interest other than AA? I suspect you do nothing else other than stepper activities (attending cult indoctrination sessions and trying to recruit for the cult)
"What developed was the willingness to believe in something positive"
You call believing you are powerless against a plant that has gone past the rotting stage and that only God (who can be a 'door knob') can save you, but only if you go to those meetings and endlessly spout the same old cult speak whilst others solemnly nod in agreement. You call that believing in something positive; I call it believing in cult indoctrination. I can't think of anything positive about steppism, it is anything but positive, that's why it kills people
"For the most part, I was bright and I was certainly attractive enough to be able to do anything I would have wanted"
???????? You mean winning beauty contests?
"I was literally afraid of the world and of everything I didn't know. Ironically, I was also afraid to find out. My natural curiosity of the world was stymied somewhere along the way, and it did real damage to my life. I had my share of wonderful opportunities that fear kept me from utilizing to a good personal advantage. I was crippled by a fear of asking anyone for help, for guidance, for assistance. I was literally afraid of people, what they might think."
So now you like sitting in cult meetings spouting cult speak with other cult truebelivers trying to impress confused newcomers by pretending to have some higher spiritual insight in a God given message (given to lying thieving, acid popping, chain smoking, sexual predator and conman Bill Wilson…….God given….I think not).
I won't comment on the rest of your post, only to inquire as to what it has to do with AA?
So I ask again what specific tangible life altering wisdom did you learn from AA that the rest of us non cult devotees could possibly benefit from?
"What I developed what a willingness to listen to it at all."
This willingness to listen to all, does that include those of us who have seen control freaks and sexual predators in abundance in your cult and have seen much death?
You don't need to listen to us though do you?, because you've already seen all this in your cult and continually choose to deny it all happens
......and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Matthew 24:11

tULdrt \A \ my gets Hart case after heated final arguments By SUSAN WITT / ' -THREE LITTLE GIRLS were raped, another little gii By SUSAN WITT and JIM GIPSON Of The Tribune Staff Related story, page 7B PRYOR — Tempers flared and attorneys exchanged heated words today as both sides gave closing arguments to a Mayes County jury that began shortly after noon deciding the fate of Gene Leroy Hart in his capital murder trial in the sex-slay- ings of three Girl Seoul Emotions were high as defense attorneys Garvin Isaacs and Gary Pitchlyiui tried to convince the jury that the State's case1 against Hart is part of a "grand design" to "convict an innocent man." Isaacs, who earlier had presented Witnesses in an attempt to link Kansas inmate Bill Stevens to the murders, detailed the evidence pointing to Stevens before the jury. "Bill Stevens, where is he?" Isaacs aske Then the attorn* uinaU courtroom* cross- examination as if Stevens were ited in the witness chair. "MR. STEVENS, isn't ft true you We I Camp Scott on June 13?" "Mr. Stevens, Mrs. Payne and her three sons told us they loaned you the flashlight," Isaacs said. "Mr. Stevens, why is it that your fingerprint is on the reflector of that flashlight?" Isaacs asked. Prosecutor S.M. Fallis Jr. jumped to his feet, objecting. "Your Honor. I will have to object to counsel stating facts not in evidence/* Fallis began. Isaacs continued his mock qm tioning, shouting over Fallis. "He had his own experts examine that flashlight and the fingerprint does not belong to Stevens," Fallis shouted. Isaacs then walked toward Fallis, stretching out his arm and pointing a finger a few inches from the prosecutor's nose. "That's a lie and you know it," Isaacs screamed. v/u are certainly free with that .word..." Fallis began. District Judge William Whistler then n 1 his voice for the first time during the two-week trial and ordered the orneys to the bench. Prosecutor Hon Shaffer had earlier told jurors, "I know you are all tired. I'm tired. We're all tired. But don't let your fatigue interfere with what must be done in this case. THREE LITTLE GIRLS were brutally murdered, sodomized and raped by that man — Gene Leroy Hart," Shaffer said, pointing at Hart. "Think about what was found in that camp," he said. "First, we find two little girls zipped up in their sleeping bags — one tied with her hands at her side while she had been raped, another little girl dead, zipped up in her sleeping bag. "She had been raped, and remember Dr. Hoffman's testimony that that even occurred after the little girl was dead," Shaffer said. "Then we have Doris Denise MiliH " \nd even though that little girl can't be here, she left you all some evidence," he said. he was bound with her hands behind her back, cord tied around her hands and black tape over that cord. ''Yler little pajama top was taped with black duct tape to hold her shoulders down. 4 And what did we find on that tape'? The hairs of Gene Leroy Hart," Sh told the jurors. And what did we lind vr>?--Tri^+ho. ■< little girls' bodies? The sperm of Gene Leroy Hart,'* Shaffer said. Counsel says (Mayes County Sheriff) Pete Weaver planted evidence in this 0380," Shaffer said. "SHAME ON YOU, Pete," Shaffer yelled at Weaver, "if you haven't got anything better than that to plant." *• • "My God, if you're going to plant something, why didn't you go out there and plant fingerprints? They're a lot better," Shaffer said. Give him a little bit of credit," the attorney said. Fallis, attempting to complete his portion of closing arguments through repeated and boisterous objections from Isaacs, said, "In my 18 years of prosecution I never have seen such demeanor of lawyers, defense lawyers and their cheering section." Fallis was referring to spontaneous, but muffled outbreaks of giggling and hand-clapping during Isaacs closing argument. The Tulsa prosecutor asked the jurors to "use their common sense See JURY, page 4A

So, I had plans to share a different post today.
I just needed to snap a few photos, but dark clouds hung over the sky most of the day. So...tomorrow I guess.
Today, instead, I thought it might be fun to share how I did my own maternity photo shoot earlier this week.
I wanted to get some pictures in before I got too uncomfortable and well...before I have the baby since that could technically be any day now!
I made good use of my dSLR camera remote.
See our family pictures post for information more on that.
This gave me a nice clean, white backdrop for my pictures and ideal lighting.
- I then set up my camera on my tri-pod along with my wireless remote.
- I ended up also putting up my large circular 42 inch reflector to the side opposite the window, half way through the shoot. You can see a glimpse of it in this shot.
A large poster board or white sheet would work fine as well. It helps bounce back the light that comes through the window onto the other side of your body/face, which helps reduce unattractive shadows.
As the shoot progressed I also finally figured out a cool trick for my remote.
Instead of holding the remote to take the picture each time, I used my camera's 2 second self timer with it.
So, I would get in place, press the remote button which focused my shot for me, dropped the remote to the floor or threw it out of the shot before my 2 seconds was up, and I ended up with a perfectly focused shot with no ugly eye sore in my right hand.
And then, Reid's show ended and he decided he should help too. He was surprisingly actually helpful. I would get ready and then tell him to press the button for me. He followed directions pretty well for a 3 year old.
He was also able to evoke real emotion from my face. :)
The remote was great for him to use too because:
1. I wouldn't have to worry about him dropping the camera.
2. Most 3 year old kids don't have super steady hands. Since we were doing indoor shots my shutter speed was slower and so I would have all kinds of camera shake had he had to touch the shutter release each time.
3. I kept the 2 second timer on as well so that he wouldn't be able to snap way too crazily either.
He decided he wanted a few turns in front of the camera himself...
ha ha... he's dancing in this shot:
I was glad he joined the shoot. It made it pretty fun.
One last tip:
I kept my clothes simple. I would never wear this outfit to the store straight up like this, but in a photo shoot I think it looks nice. There are no distractions keeping the eye away from the point of the picture...the belly...
which is what it's all about. :)
This time, I've been living in leggings. I also started doing something I never thought I would do...I sometimes wear them as pants. Yikes. They are so comfy and warm though. I have one pair of jeans I can tolerate but they don't look as good with snow boots and are definitely not as comfortable.
I have worn flats or snow boots, leggings and knit skirts with a cardigan pretty much everyday for the last month or so...if I get out of my pajamas that is. :) Thank goodness winter coats mostly cover up my pjs during school drop off and pick up.
Alright, here are the facts about the outfits from left to right:
- This gray knit skirt is SO comfy and easy to wear...post found here.
- My maternity pencil skirt is getting a lot of use as well. Both the first skirt and this one make any shirt a maternity shirt. Who cares if the blouse covers your stomach? These skirts take care of that.
- My wood chopping outfit. :) No really. Just something I like wearing for some reason.
- This thrift-ed wool sweater has been a weekly staple. I am not usually big on Native American prints, but this sweater has been warming me up to the idea.
- My favorite outfit of the whole pregnancy, with the black skirt I patterned my maternity pencil skirt after and the yellow cardigan I wear ALL the time. I also wore this outfit to Alt.
The nude flats are from Payless. I love how they go with...well, pretty much everything. After the third month my back can't stand to wear high heels until at least a month postpartum.
I am almost 37 weeks now and actually feeling better than I did a month ago. I am achy and tired but less fragile, I guess you could say. I don't have nausea anymore, constant sleepiness, or the awful reflux...just the normal pre-labor, pre-newborn jitters. I feel pretty blessed.
And if it's not too much information, last week she was already dropped and head down and I was a 2 and 70% effaced. I have good contractions but nothing to get too excited about. I see the doc again today. We'll see what she says, but I'm really in no hurry.
I still have Owen's science fair project to help him with and a slew of other things to keep me busy while we wait. Having other kids to tend to while pregnant is a blessing in some ways.
I hope you are having a marvelous day. :) Thanks for surviving through my marathon of maternity pictures!
P.S. I am slso guest posting at The Southern Institute today with this bag sewing project:
I would love if you would come say hi!
