We believe as to Alcoholics Anonymous: (1) It should not be knocked ore bashed. (2) It should be truthfully, accurately, and fully reported. (3) It should then be supported by those who are A.A. friendly, Bible friendly, and history friendly with the assurance given by Dr. Bob on the last page of his personal story : "Your Heavenly Father will never let you down!" Page 181, "Alcoholics Anonymous" 4th ed 2001.
