As Bill Sees It
The Fellowship's Future, p.207
"It seems proved that A.A. can stand on its own feet anywhere and
under any conditions. It has outgrown any dependence it might once
have had upon the personalities or efforts of a few of the older
members like me. New, able, and vigorous people keep coming to the
surface, turning up where they are needed. Besides, A.A. has reached
enough spiritual maturity to know that its final dependence is upon
God (HP)."

Isn't this a grammatical error? Shouldn't it be "it seems
proven"? I don't know English enough to be able to answer for
sure. I am just wondering if there is a chance that this
Bill guy did not know English too.

Isn't this a grammatical error? Shouldn't it be "know English, either"?

Fortunately, not all of them are brainwashed by
the cult.
Besides, after I saw your posts, I decided to stay.
Get used to it or leave :-)
