The made up higher powers of AA? reminds me of the Mormons. Make up your own God and worship it? Not me!

I've spent about 40 days in AA and my time in AA is short. I cant subscribe to the made up non-sense of making up any kind of higher source of power. Essentially making up your own God? I have been shamed by my John 14:6 stance and I have been told no one wants to hear about it. And Im tired of the Christian bashing in AA too.

I've heard intelligent attorneys say what if I do pray to Zeus as my higher power? Lol And I've heard countless people say they pray to mother earth. I spent 45 minutes listening to an LBGT yesterday say they make up new Gods all of the time.

I cant do it anymore. I have a christian sponsor. I will continue to talk with him and move over to Celebrate Recovery on Thursday night.

I have been much stronger. Please pray for a job. That's next in my future. Thank you 🙂 And God Bless all of you for your prayers.

Quit AA and lean on Jesus Christ and work with your christian mentor. You don't need to hear negitive lies put out by the father of lies. I prayed according to your rewuest and added some of my own prayers for you. Hang in there, we are almost home. Prayer

It means the world to me Yohanan. In fact when someone tells me they are praying for me it makes me want to cry. Thank you

@boulder95 I've been praying for you every day since you asked for 90 days of prayer, as I am sure others here have too. We want to see you overcome these obstacles in your life and to have a close walk with Jesus and live in His peace. The world promises all sorts of wonderful things but only delivers destruction. A walk with Jesus is the real life.

Yes, hang in there Boulder … victory over this life is soon! 

I understand with the people you are encountering.  It is very frustrating.  I was talking to a vendor over the phone last week and felt compelled to witness to her and when I asked her if she was to die would she have confidence in making heaven?  Her response oh absolutely!  I got baptized not once but “3 times” and she has the church leader visit her home each week to give them communion.  She feels so honored and special.  I said Jesus did it all at the cross, its his blood that washes away our sins and we simply put our faith and trust in His finished work and ask Him to be our personal Lord and Savior.  And her response back was OH ABSOLUTELY!!!   Then I said getting baptized doesn’t wash away sins nor does taking communion. She yes yes me when I said that.  Then I said and no need for the church leader to bring you special communion .. you can use Matzo crackers and wine or grape juice in your home.  She laughed at that.  Then she does a switcheroo and says … well … I believe this and I believe that we need to embraced EVERYTHING!  … after all .. we are ALL God’s children and there are many ways to heaven.  So at this point I knew she was just mocking and couldn’t wait to end the conversation.  Sadly she is ready for the one world religion.  I couldn’t get over how she oozed with this self righteous attitude and nothing could penetrate to show she is going down the wrong path (broad way).  She wouldn’t listen and couldn’t wait to give a sassy response back of anything goes and just chill out and  embrace everything.

Check my email of tonight, and / or call my phone number. You, Kolleen and I need to get together again soon.

And be assured we're praying for you! I'm no AA, but I do boast I know The Highest Power personally, as you do too. (Jeremiah 9:24)
