A.A. Was Bible-based. A.A. was a Christian Fellowship. Woe to the "evidence based" critics today

For some time, those who feed on grants, academic payrolls, and government surveys, have had a crack at A.A. on a regular basis by ignoring its history, ignoring its diversity today, ignoring the changes that occurred when God was shoved out the door in 1939, and ignoring the pressing need for those who make money treating or insuring recovery to keep the clientle secular, sick, confused, and faithless. Also ignoring the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Christians in A.A. who turn devotedly to God for help. And receive it!

Their theme is underlined by the following dated headline:

AA is Faith-Based, Not Evidence-Based

Is it? Did someone apply an evidence-based test to Old Testament miracles? Did someone apply an evidence-based test to the countless healings by Jesus? Did someone apply an evidence-based test to the signs, miracles, and wonders of First Century Christians? Did someone look into the evidence-based test when writing about the Evangelists like Dwight Moody, the Rescue Mission leaders like Jerry Mc Auley and S.H. Hadley, the origins of the Salvation Army founded by General Booth, the 4.5 million membership of the Young People's Christian Endeavor Society, in which Dr. Bob was active, the successes of the YMCA brethren during the Great Awakening of 1875 in St. Johnsbury, Vermont? Did someone apply the evidence based test to the complete cure by the power of God of Bill Wilson's grandfather William? Did someone apply the evidenced base test to the miraculous cure of the first three AAs when there were no Steps, no Traditions, no drunkalogs, no textbook, and no meetings like those today? Did someone really look at the documented 75% and 93% success rates in Akron and Cleveland?

Let the "evidence-based" writers begin looking at documented history instead of counting the number of alcoholics and addicts wandering the slums without ever turning to God for help?

It's time for those who believe in God, rely on Him, and have been healed by Him to just close the book on the "evidence-based" nonsense when it comes to the power of God. And just keep fellowshipping and witnessing with time-honored and century-old victories in the hands of God!
