I LOVE you, Dave - may GOD remember you in his KINGDOM!!

JJ Says..
A Reason A Season A Lifetime
I believe that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, sometimes all three. I believe some people are simply the best and others will drag your ass down. Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today. Got my back? I've got yours. No one will ever have control over me again. Stay safe, stay sober, stay clean, stay healthy, stay happy.
Greetings JJ
You mention in your PREAMBLE, that no one will have CONTROL over you again, but SATAN is controlling you [AA]. I imagine you are an AVOIDER – you have a conscious fear of intimacy and an unconscious fear of abandonment. The only way you will RECOVER is for you to go back to the CHAMBER OF HORRORS [Your Childhood] and RECOVER “Little JJ,” you abandoned her a long time ago. That INNER CHILD [Little JJ] – is GOD. Does AA, focus on JESUS CHRIST, JJ? Jesus Christ died on a cross for your sins, JJ!! If you believe in John 3: 16, instead of the meaningless words in your PREAMBLE [I believe that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, sometimes all three] then you might have a chance of getting back that LITTLE GIRL you abandoned to the SATANIC CULT [AA]. I LOVE you, JJ and I will pray for you.
Peace Be With You

Soundtrack to My Life Today
Sometimes I feel like my past is either imagined or some sort of nightmare. Maybe both. People share at meetings about their dysfunctional families and I really don't see that much dysfunction. We (my family) are the ne plus ultra dysfunctionality. Someone should make a documentary. Really…

I wonder if this might interest you:
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God [John 3: 3].
About 3 years ago I dropped into a black hole – four months of absolute terror. I wanted to end my life, but somehow [Holy Spirit], I reached out to a friend who took me to hospital. I had three visits [hospital] in four months – I actually thought I was in hell. I imagine I was going through some sort of metamorphosis [mental, physical & spiritual]. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis, up until this point in time. I actually thought I would be locked away – but the hospital staffs were very supportive [I had no control over my process]. I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & shame]. No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified]. I asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my “psychological prison.” I am a practicing Catholic & the Holy Spirit is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing. I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities. John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He’s a real person who is with me all the time. I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages [England & Australia]. God LOVES me so much. Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 – 17].
Peace Be With You

About my depression...
It appears that I can get so full of myself that I lock others out. Since I'm all I think about it's no wonder that I do these things to myself and fill up with self pity. Keeping others at a distance protects that pity pot that has become so comfortable for me to sit on. I can sit on that pot all day without even as much as a newspaper to read. Yesterday and today are slightly better. This disease is cunning and very sly.

Don't know how I ended up on this list, but AA lead me back to Christ. I feel that the AA Principles are quite simply, exactly what Jesus taught and are truly God inspired. The more you understand what is written in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and the more one reads the Bible, the more one will see that there is an incredible correlation. In fact, there isn't a better way to lead an alcoholic to Christianity, in my opinion. Don't be so quick to discount it, my friend. The Lord had a hand in this.
Greetings Recovering Wino
I felt some joy that you found Christ or he found you. I wondered why you still go to AA and read the BIG BOOK.
JESUS CHRIST is not mentioned in the BIG BOOK and AA doesn’t focus on Christ. Wouldn't it make more sense to leave AA and join a Church? Are you scared that you might drink if you leave AA?
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon [Matthew 6; 24}

Micky,
I am incredibly involved in a church. My love for the Church is so great, and I am a new person because of it.
I have no doubt about what you said about Jesus finding me. God pursues us, not the other way around. What you need to understand is that AA helped my heart (and many, many others) be ready to accept him. Without AA, I would have continued to be lost and afraid of Christianity. Without AA, Satan would have won.
One of the reasons that AA is so successful is that addicts have difficulty with God. I don't believe that Satan could be involved with an organization that prepares hearts to open up.
Have you seen the 12 steps lined up with their correlated Bible verses? I think it is pretty amazing and ingenious that God loved us so much he put a program on this earth to help save me. And Jesus says that we must serve others, which is part of the 12th step. I must give back what I got. Think of it this way, Micky. I could lead another to Christ. Some people have to have their hearts softened. That is what AA is all about (in my humble opinion)...softening the heart.
This is how AA prepared me. I openly confessed to God and another person:
I John 1:9 says
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
James 5:16 says
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
The reason I stay in AA is to give back. I may be able to soften someone else's heart so that they may be open to God. The reason is precisely as Jesus taught...
WOW, Interesting debate between the two of you! God uses different methods to prepare the heart...sometimes He will even used a lost sinner to get YOU closer to Him....let us not spend time debating what is what....AA has obviously helped many and led many to the truth....the steps we take are not always obvious but if our steps are pursuing TRUTH than eventually we RUN into the one Higher than US...JESUS the One and only!
Everyone has a story on how the arrived to the "salvation" seat....we need to be sensitive to eachother! Let us walk in love and not critisize or spend our time in useless debate...it is good however that scripture is being used as the sinner who reads will be filled but let us remember that EACH one of us comes to the Lord differently however ending up in the same place!
Enjoyed the blog...will return.

Another individual setting himself up as judge and jury on people trying to get well.
Did it occur to you for one moment that you may damage the recovery of the people you have listed? Probaly not.
You words are self-referential, your tone arrogant, your sentiment one of anger.
There is truly little in your writing which marks you as a follower of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray your Pastor or clergy can show you humility.
I shall pray for you.
Micky: I stand in agreement with 'last lament'. You claim to preach a gospel of grace, but deny that grace to your enemies, which seem to be anyone who thinks AA isn't a horrible thing. Stop bashing them.
Furthermore, personally, I think you should stop imagining things.
I mean, really, the number of times you write 'I imagine' in regards to someone else is the mark of someone who is right because he says so, as opposed to someone who is right because what he says is true.You aren't these people's spiritual confessors, you don't know them very well, and you don't have a gift of discernment that bypasses all of that. Stop what you are doing. It isn't a loving act in the least. (1 Cor 16:14.)
Sincerely in Christ,
Hidden One.
I am Steve Snyder's sister. I just noticed you posted something to his blog a long time ago. He's doing better on anti-depressants. Thank God he stayed sober!!!
Our oldest brother is a pastor. He got Steve started drinking when Steve was 10 & this brother was 17. And he repeatedly sexually molested him
Our family was supposed to be so "religious", but it was all crap. I spent a time as an agnostic but have thankfully been a Christian since a reconversion experience nearly 25 years ago. Thankfully I also don't have the addictive gene.
Keep on keeping on yourself & think of Steve & pray for him once-in-awhile.
hi micky x
i attended aa for 9 years and was taught i had a disease and followed the programme through fear and desperation as addiction was so scary untill our precious lord told me to leave as jesus is not in those rooms the bible warns of heresies in the last days and talking life its only christ that can set us free,sponsers r glorified not the living god,the cross and the power of the blood
praise god that u r standing for the truth as i am the bible teaches us we can do all things through christ who strengthens us i praise god im not stuck in those rooms listening to the death and deppression but on my knees praying for revival to sweep this earth so people would experience glory.freedom in the fathers love and stop defending the father of lies
your sister in christ xx
DELIVERANCE!
