Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 - I wonder if Bill Kurtis believed the tabacco co. when they said that cigarettes were safe? -- In 12-step-freeegroups, " dave " <dmarcoot@h...> wrote: > now i know this is slanted journalism. who goes up to > asuspected cult memebr and ask are you in a cult? and walks > away satisfied when they say " NO " ? would they have bent over > for heavens gate that way? no,a nd they didnt. why not show > someo personally who say they are a cult and ask him why they > think that? is that too much to ask? > > Now they're debunking > > the theories that AA is a religion or a cult with these creepy 12- > > steppers and their recycled hogwash.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Take heart folks. I can't see this having anywhere near the audience 20/20 did. And really, do you think any serious person would not see that for the worthless garbage it is? 20/20 adhered to solid reporting where both sides are presented and analyzed, A & E didn't. The only ones who won't understand that are AAers and their views mean nothing in the overall mission to expose AA's fallacies and lies.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 I sort of got the impression the majority of the show was filmed in one day. Two max the muted colors made me feel like I was watching a broadcast from 20 years ago.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 True that. True that. I think what that show did is show AA for the religious garbage it is. One of the things I was hoping for was that they kept everyone in shadow the only person who said anything remotely negative about AA wasn't in shadow but than again she still thinks people should go. n Gilliam sp? Suppose what I was looking for was the believability factor for the one out of shadow vice the people saying anything they want under cover of anonymity. Re: Re: ARRRGGH! Take heart folks.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Why? So you can prove to AandE just how popular their show was. I vote for not posting a single solitary thing on the subject at their site. Email to Bill Kurtis: Mr. Kurtis I've really enjoyed your Investigative reports in the past. In particular the work you did thorough American Justice on New Orleans. After viewing " Inside AA " however; I found myself asking; I've heard from AA are theirs the only voices in the crowd?, I thought AA was a cult but now I know it's not because you've taken the time to show both sides of the issue? I particularly enjoyed viewing the book covers of the authors who might have had something interesting to say on the subject. Unfortunately as they were only flashed on the screen for a few seconds I guess the world will never know. I've grown accustomed to expecting no holds barred critical thinking reporting from you Mr. Kurtis. What I saw tonight was a 46 minute commercial for AA. More proof that AA's concept of attraction vice promotion is hogwash. In short Mr. Kurtis you've been had by AA. I look forward to you revisiting " Inside AA " to redress the severe shortcomings of tonight's broadcast. ARRRGGH! You can bet I'll be posting my brains out to A & E.com later this evening.
