I told the person that amused me when some people in AA act that way (and I've met others in person) that AA is the only way it reminds of some religions I have read about or gotten involved in that want the people to believe that if they don't follow this particular religion they will go to h*ll.
So can I hang w/you guys?

Don't you love that one?? I had an NA thumper tell me I must not have had a problem !! He should've tried telling me that when I was passed out on the floor.

That's so so so weak.
