So, another BB study thread?

Is it really such a mystery regarding the unfortunates who can't seem to get honest with themselves? I just read the newcomer threads and there are several poster children for that inability there, and if you've any heart at all then you'd view them as unfortunate.

Note the word used is unfortunate, they are not bad or stupid. It's a morally neutral term unlike some other writings regarding people who don't stay sober in other programs, viewed as morally failed, something far different than saying 'it just seems to be the way they are'. Though that's plenty enough to light up the hyper sensitive who are not involved in the least, they haven't a clue how they're referred to in other programs. Somehow that doesn't matter, it's only how different passages can be skewed in AA literature to fuel anew their perpetual outrage that is the focus week after week.

I like that about AA.
