"1 The 11 chapters contain the word "spiritual" 108 times in the multilith
manuscript and 106 times in the 3rd Edition. The German GSO translation of
1983 contains the word "spiritual" only eight times. The result of
anti-spiritual efforts, it was mostly replaced by "seelisch --
psychological" and/or by "geistig -- intellectual." This, among other
faults, compromised the spiritual foundation of our recovery program and
contributed to an extremly high relapse rate of more than 95% among German
AA members. (A detailed translation analysis can be downloaded here). "


"There were alcoholics in the hospitals of whom A.A. could touch and help
only about five percent. The doctors started giving them a dose of LSD, so
that the resistance would be broken down. And they had about fifteen percent
recoveries." Nell Wing - Pass It On p 370


(AA Around Australia. Spring Edition No 90. October 1994)
"A well conducted professional study," (page19) that showed "some 5% of
newcomers are still attending meetings after 12 months. This is a truly
terrible statistic". (page 2)


In "God's" world there is no such thing as co-incidence?
