thanks all
Yes Jim,I noticed the concepts and I am glad you did throw them in.We always give the minority a chance to be heard after a vote in our home group conscience.There have been times in the past they made so much sense we re-voted and changed our votes.
The minority won out!
It worked out fine as far as I could tell.
well,all groups(non AA groups) in this world have leaders of some kind..Do we need leaders?probally...,Do we need people to govern us?
bleeding deacons?Elder statesmen?no
God governs by expression Himself thru the assembled members.(where 2 or more are gathered is a term I love)
The leaders have a responsibility and also in my home group they have just enough authority to do the trusted servants job well as they see fit,according to their right to decide what to do when away from the group.Their authority is not to exceed their responsibility.We rotate these leadership or trusted servant jobs around.
how about an informed group conscience?
Like Jim said,we take our time.Why rush into a decision with little information?Whats the hurry?This teaches me to be more open minded and to listen better and think it over before I rush into something.
and about those concepts Jim mentioned
I find a home group conscience is a great place to practice a few of them.If they work for the business end of AA in New York,they surely will help my little home group out in NC.
great thread
