Hello All,

Here is a choice slice of delusional confection for your reading

pleasure. It's off of Jim K's site and I felt that it would be a worthy

replacement for today's headline as I was incapable of coming up with

anything nearly as effective for your comedic palates. Better get

yourself a large beverage to wash it all down. Bon Appetite!

PREDICTION

I guarantee you that the spiritual

transformation of the third millennium, a true theological revolution if

it is to

come, will be led by the earliest members of

the Church Of God Anonymous and, further, we

will be labeled as heretics by the principal

popular religions of Christianity and Islam.

When this revolution does occur, it will be the

result of the actions of many now deceased and living

members of Alcoholics Anonymous, Alanon and

other 12 Steps Groups. This revolution, as are all

rebellions, will have been initiated by one

man, of some spiritual genius, such as Bill W. or Jim K. and

others, perhaps yet unborn, who will take all

the incredible laws, creeds, postures and myths of today's

Christian Church and turn them inside out, so

they have some relevance in the New Age, the Third

Millennium. Such a man or woman-seeing through

the murky varnish of wealth, snobbery, self-seeking and

apathy which overlays the Christian Church, to

the essential message at its core would, by sacrifice and

total commitment, work her/his modern miracle.

She/he would have to be a person of vigor,

humor, passion, concern, selfless courage and, above all,

action. It is fairly certain that shah will

have the greatest influence upon the youth and not among the

elders of the existing Christian Church or

Moslem Mosque; it is probable that she/he would not mingle with

the leaders of society but with the powerless

and rejected; it is predictable that the new prophet or prophets

would be in command of contemporary means of

communication, including the Internet, but that her/his real

communication would be through her/his own

commitment to her/his faith in the essential spiritual principles

of Alcoholics Anonymous that resulted in the

teachings of The Church Of God Anonymous (CGA). It is

axiomatic that the leader of CGA would be

reviled as the most dangerous of heretics for slicing through the

labyrinth of myth and dogma of the Christian

Church in the waning days of the 20th Century. It is more than

likely that, being an enemy of the existing

power structure-religious, social and political-shehe would be

denounced as a traitorous radical. And, it is

in the cards that society would find some modern means of

crucifying her/him.

Penniless, scarred, cast out, abandoned, denied

and finally silenced by death, shehe would seem to her/his

contemporaries to have failed miserably in

her/his obviously vain, grandiose task of offering the spirituality

of CGA to the modern world. Yet, there will be

one or two or perhaps, one million or two million, who at the

moment of her/his death would be moved to

commit their lives to her/his ideals. After the same manner did

Jim K. and others carry on the dreams of Bill

W., Lois and Dr. Bob.

It is likely that the first members of CGA will

grow to become the " Christian Church " of the New Age. It does

not follow that it will necessarily be called

by its present name. It will certainly not be named after any

human person. The name is immaterial. Names are

like titles and offices, vestments and cathedrals,

ecclesiastical facades and human shells-

important only to those who put more trust in ancient garments

than in the spirit of the Higher Power- God, within!
