"If you would like to get a head start on getting well before the second volume of this manual is published, let us give you a clue.
Our concept is that unless we have something that we are living for that was as important as the Ark was to Noah, we are not on line with God, as good as we might be.
We believe that what is needed is to learn how to get on-line, with a spiritual beam of light.*
"Since Noah got off of the ark, planted a vineyard, and became a drunkard, and all of the nations of the earth came from the three sons of
Noah, we believe that all believers are entitled to attend either Al-Anon,
Al-A-teen, Adult Children of Alcoholics, or
open
A. A.
meetings
only.
All believers have a distant relative that became
drunk.
We pray for
understanding
of Genesis 9:21;
One day he became drunk on some wine he had made and lay naked
in his tent.
"And if we are not living for something as important as the Ark was to Noah, our single opinion is that we are drunk.
We are distracted from the reality of God's Kingdom, even if there is no alcohol involved.
The
true purpose of this type of attendance is to listen and learn how to work and then practice the
suggested Twelve Steps and
spiritual
principles
of recovery.
"Hopefully, God can direct you to the person that will help you get connected to the right anonymous fellowship where you can learn how to
work an anonymous twelve step program. In turn, you can learn how to
practice The Beginning of HIS FATHER'S TEMPLE from chapter five in our copyrighted literature."
Edited excerpt from chapter seven in HIS FATHER'S TEMPLE.
Other
anonymous fellowships are mentioned in this chapter also.

"I
will only give you light burdens."
“I also tell you this: If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
For where two or three gather together because they are mine, I am there among
them.” (Matthew 18:19-20 TB)
A
year and six months later these three had succeeded with seven more.
Seeing much of each other, scarce an evening passed that someone's home
did not shelter a little gathering of men and women, happy in their
release, and constantly thinking how they might present their discovery to
some newcomer. In addition to these casual gettogethers, it became
customary to set apart one night a week for a meeting to be attended by
anyone or everyone interested in a spiritual way of life. Aside
from fellowship and sociability, the prime object was to provide a time
and place where new people might bring their problems. (bigbook page

the right fellowship, for their own well being.

the
arkansas traveler - with fifty years of abstinence - said in meetings, upon an unbelievable welcome that i had
never seen before, nor since, in the area of which his home group was
located, at the eruption of emotion, welcoming any new comer to the rooms,
"why do we welcome these people, before we know if they have a desire
to stop drinking?"
