Maybe you should be reminded that the only requirement for membership in AA is a desire to stop drinking. I believe Mentium fulfills that requirement. If the honesty and tolerance was really practiced at the meetings, than members' opinions on different matters regarding AA would be respected, not criticized. I too struggled with certain aspects of AA, such as the religious (not spiritual) leanings of many of its members and how it dominates many meetings regardless of what people might say. It took me a long time to look past this and other things, and just focus on my own spiritual foundation, and ignore what other members think about it.
If Mentiun is getting something out of the meetings, than he should feel comfortable in continuing to go to them. If going to the meetings is helping him to stay sober, that's the only thing that counts. I hope he keeps going.
