Well well: now that AACultwatch blogspot is posting with such frequency (every five months), it’s obvious there’s a desperate crisis in AA in England, Something really urgent. Why else would they be posting so frequently? Anyhoo, for your entertainment and delight we present a selection of the most entertaining emails we received in the last 5 months about AACultwatch blogspot, starting with the most recent, an email that reminded us the blog was still releasing the occasional drip of lukewarm crap:

-

Fellas, that N.A. who wrote to Cultwatch about Roads and DAA is Lee Rees. He funnels addicts from the Fellowship to his treatment centre Restart Recovery - http://www.reestartrecovery.co.uk/team.html which he makes money off of, exactly the sort of profit that AAcultwatch is against. Do they do ANY research on the people that email them? [name withheld]

Howdy again “Fellas”, It took the months to post it but have you seen the new rant on aacultwatch [blogspot]? It’s like he’s still copying and pasting. Whens the last time they got an email. Does anyone read it except for entertainment? What a plonka rodney… I travel for work and pop into one of these “cult” meetings every so often. Nothing’s ever happened to me. Bizarre. [snip]

Guys, you should know about this. I went to a meeting last week in the South East when one of them “evil” people that cultwatch like to talk about appeared, newcomer in tow. Christ you should have seen it. One young guy comes in to speak says how the meeting should “cult-proof” itself, starts bitching at the “evil” person, looks straight at him. The newcomer walks out halfway through. It was f@@king horrific. Again methinks the cure is worse than the disease [name withheld]

[snip] Yes I know of Pete V [Pete Vandermeer] too. He is very well-known around these parts, in and out like Remainer on speed. That gent is happy to give us a rant about what’s wrong with our fellowship, and chat to the younger female newcomers. One time a secretary had to warn him off. We don’t understand why it’s people like this that the CultWatch [blogspot] looks up to. Their blog is a popularity contest, not to help alcoholics anonymous[snip]

Fellas and the lady,

WTF - I was digging through your archives. Hilarious! And so sad in places too. Can’t believe JH [John Hodgman] is an aacultwatch supporter. A bit of character around here - a gambling addict, likes to flutter down the local. With or without a beer - who knows? We looked around on the web after I saw him on here, he’s got a wierd Facebook set-up of multi-profiles - a man who’s trying to hide something. John loved to wander round conference back in the day, when he worked at GSO, saying snide things to delegates about other delegates. Real evil critter. Cheers, [name witheld]

[snip]…and here’s why I think this has nothing to with AA. In our Region we know Wayne and he’s an OK AAer. Not my cup of tea and I wouldn’t go to the meetings, then there’s many I won’t go to. What I do not comprehend is the hyperreligious Back to Basics meeting in Plymouth at the Christian Centre has been going on for years, and Cultwatch [blogspot] never talk about it. They go on about Roads but not Back to Basics in Plymouth. I occasionally mull on the thought that the site’s written by a bitter ex-Roadie who goes to BTB? [snip]

Phew - that’s enough! God bless AACultwatch Blogspot - spreading lies and killing newcomers since 2007!



In fellowship,

The Fellas (and the lady)
