Thom,?
I appreciate you posting this, but all the folks that shared all shared the same viewpoint. Most of their sobriety dates were closer to the date of the publication of the Big Book that today. One even said that being an agnostic in AA was a problem. I am an agnostic in AA and folks from Jimmy Burwell to me would take issue with that opinion.? It made me sad to listen to the one-sided discussion.?
From a responsibility to history standpoint, we should simply be willing to live with the truth of whatever decision(s) are made. A Plain Language Big Book has no impact on what has happened to date. If we do not change as a society and endeavor to open the doors of AA to all those who live today and not in 1939, then my fear is that AA will die along with some of the old-timers on this panel.?
Thanks,?
Rodney?
