Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 Another AA murder. These aren't as rare as we thought. In this one, one member shoots the secretary of the meeting--in the meeting--for violating his anonymity. But only after God gave him the message to do it: http://www.theflume.com/1999/122499/s3.html http://www.aahorror.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 This loony tune was 16 years " sober. " Wonder how many people he may have sponsored in that time. Frightening thought. In AA, total whackos can and do serve as " advisors to life " to very vulnerable people. The scarey thing is that these people are adored and considered " qualified to sponsor " solely on the amount of time that they have not taken a drink of alcohol. No other qualification necessary. Just not drinking. I met so many that should not even be trusted to train a parakeet, let alone advise a human being. And many of those were highly respected solely because of their time in the cult.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 > > This loony tune was 16 years " sober. " Really? Is that in the article, or have you heard of this case? I did a search on his name and came up with a number of articles, hoping for more info. Some of the articles don't admit this all happened in and around and because of AA and AA beliefs. Having many versions to compare tells me a lot about how the media has so much power. If it were an article about a school kid going berserk, it would have been on national news. Wouldn't it be great to get to the point where AA and rehab murders and crimes are on national news. There are so many more of them than schoolyard killings it's unbelievable. Take just about any local news archive, type " alcoholics anonymous " into the search box, and see what you come up with. Believe me, it isn't just meeting schedules and rags to riches stories of praise. These types of articles are almost as common. No, actually, the most common results are people who are sentenced to aa meetings. It's incredible. I'm doing these searches now in my spare time. In some of them, what actually happened isn't clear without further search. I got this story when perusing another paper. All the story said was an ex-mayor got shot in an AA meeting. So I ran the names of the principles in google, and then read all the results. Most of the best ones were in the local Colorado newspapers where it happened. It's incredible. Anyone with a little extra time who wants to do searches, please go ahead, and send me links. I'm posting the links in the article section on my site.

I had a sponsor like that once--looked good and sounded good at meetings, had " time, " but she couldn't handle anger or prolonged stress. She was also a religious fanatic who thought it her duty to make everyone around her behave as her religous beliefs prescribed. She also went berserk, but in a more minor way, thank goodness.
