Pheonix,
Everything you said about Jack is true and the rational.org forum is true. To clarify, I am not a member of RR. RR is a company that I am not employed by. I use the thechnique that Jack patented AVRT. Lots of people use AVRT and some of them happen to be A$$ holes. I am able to see where I have been wrong and openly admit it so you have met at least one.
As far as the topic of this thread, it is interesting and educational to hear what people like you and peter (and Jon when he is not telling people to **** off) have to say. People do hear bad things about AA as a religous cult and topics explaining that it is not could dispel some of those fears. Like Doug just said, incorrect information will do that and can create fear.
Thanks for the explaination.
