How much are the financial crises played up at meetings nowadays?
by Robert7 ini haven't been to a meeting in years... and with the us and european financial crises in play, i would imagine the jws would be all over this as the sign that "we're so close to the end"... that this system is ready to collapse.. for those of you going to meetings, is there much talk abou it... what about amongst people in conversation?

Group Pride Rooted in Insecurity

by Robert7 inthis is an extension to the kool-aid partakers question.
how many people do you think go (out of family, guilt, etc) but really don't want to and doubt if this is the truth?
