Father Mark or Father Martin?

Our New Year Special Look Alike!
Ashley Inc. cashing in on A.A
Mark Hushen, O.S.F.S. President and CEO “He is a Catholic priest and a recovering alcoholic and addict.”  http://fathermartinsashley.org/ABOUT-ASHLEY/Key-Staff.aspx
The Ashley Inc. quote of the year!
We are not affiliated with any religious institution.”
??? Hmmm……OK yah...... Got it! ……Dope, gone again…. So what’s with the frocks?.......And…. So…. AA is not affiliated with Ashley Inc… or any religious sect, denomination, organization, politics or institution…… So what’s with all that dog collar preaching of AA-Ashley Inc. on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJq47IwsIPw
Underneath the vid, here’s what the alky comments say!
SMART Recovery is far better than AA, and you don't have to associate with delusional religious nuts They say it's spiritual, not religious. Actually they talk about God for an hour, then hold hands and quote the Bible (Lord's Prayer). AA is a faith healing cult, and faith healing doesn't work. That's why hardly anyone stays in AA."
Is this an attempt at stand up comedy, or just plain drivel?”
I hate the AA cult. It made drink a lot. There were SO many times that I was feeling just fine, not even thinking about drinking, and then an AA meeting ruined my night. I HAD to drink after leaving that place. That happened many times... Thank God I found another treatment!"
THE BIBLE WHICH THIS PRIEST IS SUPPOSED TO ADVOCATE SAYS IN THE FIRST COMMAND: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME". IN AA YOU CAN HAVE A DOOR-KNOB, AS YOU "UNDERSTAND" THAT DOOR-KNOB OF COURSE, AS YOUR GOD. I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN COMBINE THE TWO. SO THIS PREACHER MUST BE A FALSE MODERN PREACHER.”
Ah, The A.A. Tradition…. attraction rather than promotion…. all from the mouths of babes!
Well chaps, we can’t take those alcoholic/addict priests too seriously now can we? For inspirational lectures, we suggest Father Jack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8FqAfsZMYM
