7th Step Prayer inconsistency?

Jim All Messages By This Member #317 Hello. It seems that every reference to the or a diety or divine principle or concept? in the BB is capitalized...both nouns and pronouns.? Except the words "you" and "your" in the 7th Step prayer. (Instead of the Thees and Thous of the 3rd step prayer.) Is there a story there? Then there is the old question about why it ends in Amen and the 3rd step prayer doesn't.? Not interested in opinions as to why so much as any historical or even anecdotal facts.? TIA Jim

Jackie McIntyre All Messages By This Member #319 Don't know about inconsistency and don't have facts.? I am in my eighties, my sobriety date is June 13 1988, and I have some health issues,? but in earlier sobriety, I was working on a General Service presentation on steps 6 and 7 referred to as the lost steps in the flyer We were 3 presenters and each given a specific area to focus on. I would have used AAHL, Silkworth.net, Barefoot Bil and all those wonderful sites.? I also used the book Drop the Rock. ?I don't remember where I came across it in my research but I've never forgotten.? What I found was that we begin a process with step 3 we don't complete til step 7 therefore no amen til 7th step prayer Wish I were spry enough to go digging thru my file drawers for the source because my brain is spinning and I can't turn it off
