It is a shame that sin should have such esteem, and Jesus such great contempt put upon him. But shame shall before long confound these now shameless wretches, when they shall cry out, "We are ashamed that we loved profits, and not Jesus- houses, lands, lusts, and not Jesus.<BR/>This is the confusion of our faces, and shame covers us-- that we should be so foolish, and so blind, that we had not sense, nor reason, to distinguish between sin, which is the greatest and most odious evil, and Jesus who is the greatest and most lovely good." But the time will never come, the day will never be, that a gracious soul shall be ashamed of his sincere love to Jesus Christ<BR/>I, MICKY, AM A GIFT TO ALL PEOPLE!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-91748806233837537762007-11-08T18:11:00.000-07:002007-11-08T18:11:00.000-07:00DOES ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS FOCUS ON JESUS CHRIST?"A...DOES ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS FOCUS ON JESUS CHRIST?<BR/>"Agents For Satan"<BR/>A DOZEN STEPS<BR/>A REASON A SEASON A LIFETIME<BR/>AAWAKENINGS<BR/>ALCOHOLIC BRAIN<BR/>ANONYMOUS ALCOHOLIC<BR/>ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE<BR/>BIG SKY MAACK<BR/>BLUE'S THOUGHTS<BR/>COFFEE BITCH<BR/>DRAGON SPEAK<BR/>FLOWERDAVES PAGES<BR/>FROM THE FIRST CHAKRA (MSB)<BR/>HIGHER POWERED<BR/>I'M JUST F.I.N.E.<BR/>INMATEZ WIFE<BR/>IT'S A GIRL THING<BR/>LUSH FOR LIFE<BR/>MY JOURNEY TO RECOVERY<BR/>MY LIFE IN TAMPA<BR/>NO COMMENT<BR/>OUTRIGHT MENTAL DEFECTIVE<BR/>POSTCARDS FROM CUPCAKE MONKEY<BR/>RAANCH<BR/>RECOVERY ROAD<BR/>RIDIN' ON THE WAGON<BR/>SCOUT'S NEWCOMER DAZE<BR/>SIMPLY ANNA<BR/>SOBER CHICK<BR/>SOBER MOM<BR/>SOBER NUGGETS<BR/>SOBERING THOUGHTS<BR/>SOBERINSANITY<BR/>STAY AT HOME MOTHERDOM<BR/>STAYING STRAIGHT EDGE<BR/>THIS UNMANAGEABLE LIFE<BR/>THY WILL, NOT MINE<BR/>TODAAY<BR/>TWELVEBEADS<BR/>TWO DOGS BLOGGING<BR/>YOU AND ME ARE FLOATING...<BR/><BR/>"I, Micky, am a gift to all people!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-71767221752620519982007-11-08T18:05:00.000-07:002007-11-08T18:05:00.000-07:00DETESTABLE NECROMANCERYou know, the message the 12...DETESTABLE NECROMANCER<BR/>You know, the message the 12 Step Paradigm tells us that we are all just powerless over our addictions, meaningless specks of offal in an endless ocean of space and matter where hydrogen atoms and bacteria of unexplained origin can turn into god as you understand him!! Oooo! It’s so exciting and uplifting to be regularly assured by Steppers in all their ineffable knowledge and function is just an accumulation of 1st Century Christianity Buchmanism & Nihilism. Oooo! It’s heart-warming, I’ll tell ya. We owe these "messengers" so terribly much that it is difficult to put into words... We can talk to dead people & consult spiritists.<BR/>9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God [Deuteronomy 18: 9-13]<BR/>Wilson was a “detestable necromancer” who talked to dead people & consulted spiritists. He was “an angel of light” and if you Steppers want what he had, keep going to 12 Step meetings & end up as zombies. I beg of you to see the True Light [John 3: 16] & have Eternal Life, not death [12 Steps].<BR/>I, MICKY, AM A GIFT TO ALL PEOPLE!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-51734141763948124842007-11-08T13:44:00.000-07:002007-11-08T13:44:00.000-07:00"I am considering discontinuing my AA literature q..."I am considering discontinuing my AA literature quote at the end of each post - it seems I pick the same quotes over and over.... any opinions?"<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I don't read blogs for the random quotes many of them contain.

The alcoholics had learned, through their own conversion, a different method, augmentation of fear with an initial diminution of guilt. “It’s not your fault it’s a disease. There is nothing you can do about it. You’ll die unless you believe.” When a person was properly convinced & reached a point of proper desperation, guilt was then applied to bring about conversion of God control. These new groupers [Steppers] were motivated not primarily by guilt, but by fear. The other groupers [Steppers] being god controlled through guilt would use guilt to manipulate others. Are you using your GUILT to MANIPULATE the other STEPPERS, MARY?<BR/>1 John 1:9 (NNAS) "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."<BR/>I, MICKY, AM A GIFT TO ALL PEOPLEAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-82916082519659828532007-11-07T14:38:00.000-07:002007-11-07T14:38:00.000-07:00Mary Christine Said:I haven't spoken to my sponsor...Mary Christine Said:<BR/>I haven't spoken to my sponsor about my big career decision yet.<BR/><BR/>Micky Said:<BR/>Dear Mary<BR/>Don't forget to tell your SPONSOR, when you have impure thoughts?
