Sudden death...

My father passed away suddenly on the 7th of this month. He was 86 and worked full-time until he died. He was my biggest hero. I will miss him. I was presented with the US flag at the funeral for his service during WWII. I was truly moved by that. I am a little burnt out on blogging and the internet altogether. I probably won't be posting very often, but I am still here, and still sober and going to meetings. Hope you are all doing well.

ARE YOU A BILL & BOB CLONE?

12 Step Programs are "satanic", mind altering, "cults"....they are wrong, bad, evil, dangerous & above all....anti Christ!!

Recognizing “Groupthink”
Singer (cult expert) stresses that all cults are based firstly on a thought reform program Such programs aim to dilute people’s individuality, change their core belief systems and alter their concept of themselves. This is done by imposing a “totalistic ideology” which “explains everything” Such groups will say they are “THE WAY”, the “ONLY WAY” be it in religion, science, self-help, psychotherapy or politics.


Lifton (cult expert) points out that "included in this mystique is a sense of ‘higher purpose’, of ‘having directly perceived some imminent law of social development’, of being themselves the vanguard of this development" Consequently, all other groups are charlatans, shams, impostors, degenerate, etc. Normally they have authoritarian leaders and lieutenants at all levels and/or they venerate the works of dead leaders to justify their totalistic ideology and actions. Not choosing the group’s Way will usually lead to humiliation, damnation or death. To achieve this they such a phenomenon members undergo what has been called “brainwashing”, “mind control” in order to achieve “Groupthink”.

I, MICKY, AM THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.
