When I 1st got a PayPal account and started shopping on eBay, they were offering 0% financing periodically as a promotion. For a while now it’s been stuck at 2.99%. See they start out doing something wonderful and then they start moving in on you on you. See they start out doing something wonderful -and then they start moving in on you. I mean isn’t it enough that many of the people on the 0% financing deal default and end up paying interest? That’s more often than not, the original idea right -that X-amount of people are not going to be able to fulfill there will the fulfill their commitment and so they end up making money off of them -the same way people charge things on their credit card and the certain percentage paid off every month and pay no interest while another percentage end up with a balance which gets charged interest? My problem is this-company’s won a both ways. They want assurance of money in every case because it’s not enough to get it in most cases.

Historically, many companies in America have a tendency to reward themselves moreso than the customer (at the customers expense) in the long run. REALLY???? Sounds like an alcoholic who gets to a certain place via the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and then turns their back on it – The alcoholic forgets what got them there. Corporate America seems to exhibit the same characteristics in many cases. Get powerful and change the rules. Tour and the rules on the people who got you there.

I do not want people in Washington listening to me through someone’s phone in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Didn’t you people get the memo 10 years ago when Congress or the Supreme Court said it was lawful for the government to listen in on the American people and to go through the emails?

And as for you people who took the position that as long as you’re not doing anything wrong you don’t have anything to worry about – We’ll G why didn’t the Founding-Father’s think of that? So as long as we’re doing the right thing we have nothing to worry about right? The government’s just gonna take good care of us right -Jesus!!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

This country was founded on the premise that the people we choose to elect into power answer to us! I wonder what the founding fathers would think of all this?

I wonder what Bill Wilson and Doctor Bob Smith would think of what each and every one of us brings to the program? Some of us might be very surprised 🤔

Whenever we fall short -it is surely due to a lack of power. Whether it be falling short in an action. Whether it be falling short in remembering something. Whether it be falling short in choosing rightly.

“The Kingdom of Heaven does not consist of talk, but of Power”.

Try to imagine a God rich in everything else -except power!

We’re it not for Judas the iscariot, there were things:

•About God we may never have known;

•About Jesus we may never have known;

•About mankind, and thus ourselves we may never have known

Beware of the friend or person who tells you what you want to hear at all times -A friend or any person who is honest will never tell you everything you want to hear. You will never hear what you wanna hear all the time from someone who is honest. At some point you will hear what you don’t want to hear -as is the case for all of us.

And a person who always gives an answer that makes them look and smell like a rose is likely not to be trusted either – We are all flood; and at some point we will all be caught in a situation of embarrassment or shame.

Bill Wilson says “let no man think he has a direct line to God himself”. In all the years of my recovery come in one way or another I have always been connected to Alcoholics Anonymous.

I’ve also heard it said on several occasions that “Alcohol saved my life”. Before people get to Alcoholics Anonymous I’m as they are often inclined to use lose other… I’ve heard people in meetings say Alcoholics Anonymous is another crutch -Well if it is, I’ll take this crutch over alcohol and drugs any day of the week!

1.We push for the truth

2.We get it

3.We explode

4.We judge

Why do people lie:

•They don’t wanna be judged

•They don’t wanna be punished

Why do men lie to women to get into a relationship – Because a lot of times women will judge a man unworthy if hes honest. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

We have a real issue in this country with acceptance of others -an arrogance that belies it all!

I started noticing a lot of people criticizing me for what appeared to be judge manilness on my part. It was apparent to me that a lot of people didn’t know the difference between being judgmental and making an observation. It led me to believe that making observations of my fellow human beings was taboo. Frankly, the day we stopped doing that -we’re all screwed. The day we stop holding each other accountable for our actions -we’re all screwed.

Bill Wilson states “It’s a sad day when we can’t reflect on having done anything to help another human-being.”

The next time the government, corporate America, an individual tries to trash someone’s reputation-deserved or not, you say 🤔 “I guess that makes them human; just like you and me -JUST LIKE YOU AND ME”. 👈👉

Next time you confront someone on an issue:; next time you pressure someone for some answers regarding an issue between the two of you; while are you waiting on the answer ‘TRY TO REMEMBER YOU”RE STILL HUMAN TOO! When we’re the victim we also have a tendency to take the position that we’re better than other people as well*. When we’re down; when we feel beneath others; when, having been wronged -we often figure the solution is to place ourselves above them -if only in the moment! THIS IS A MISTAKE!

*Regarding many people, our attitudes tend to be very different when we are the ones in a particular situation versus observing others in, let’s say 🤔, that same situation. When viewing people who have been victimized, certain people can be very judgmental or aloof of them and their predicament. However, when in the situation themselves, most people are anything but a roof, and tend to be very critical of the perpetrators themselves. Human beings have the extraordinary ability to change their stripes depending on which side of the issue they’re on.

That’s the word we look for in every decision, every action taken. You take for example corporate America, there are a lot of things going on based upon reasoning that is not legitimate. In our government as well! If you can give me a legitimate reason for why something is being done -I’ll probably go along with it. What’s worse come is a lot of decisions are being made without being answerable to anyone these days.

It says “we the people”, not “I the people”, not “you the people”. We need to change, not I need to change 👈, not you need to change 👉, Remember there’s always 3 fingers pointing back at you when you’re pointing to somebody else. Looking at ourselves and not blaming others is a big issue in this country. It’s a big issue among mankind in general.Whenever we criticize somebody the 1st thing they do is go on the offensive – Well what about you! It may not be that way everywhere in this country but it is certainly that way and the town I live in -I’ve heard that come back a million times. I’m staring at some 35-40 year old man or woman and thinking 🤔 is this person really that old?
