cap'n is right here. i do get to choose what i will take with me.
however, to begin to insist that religion, any religion or lack of religion, is the summation of AA is to be as disrespectful of our heritage as someone coming into AA and insisting that SA or CA or OA must be what this is about-
the same traditions which apply to 'purity of message' apply here as well.
and yes , taking another's inventory, giving unsolicited advice, publically demeaning another struggling person are rarely practiced and never tolerated in the rooms which i go to.
there is quite a community of us who pm each other about many of the inflaming issues which are aired here.
i strongly urge newcomers who have questions and are repelled or humiliated by a few dipsticks , to pm those core individuals whose posts DO NOT represent this behavior
