North London Region - Who says the cult is a threat!
A contribution from an AA member interested in shaking the "apathy of London members who shrug when told that the Visionaries are taking over their Fellowship" (dates should be adjusted by about two years to account for delay in publication)
"They've [variously known as the "cult", "Visions", "Taliban", "Step Nazis" etc] got a tenuous hold of the whole of London Region (North), the biggest Region in the country, via a simple and clever manoeuvre disguised as "democracy" -- they got Region to vote 3 years ago for an annual combined meeting of GSRs in all eleven intergroups, to take place on the first Sunday in November and "confirm" Region officers and Conference Delegates. The second year this "Region Assembly" voted itself the power to declare Region policies... last year they voted for their intergroups to send their money to region rather than GSO... and next month they've got resolutions about taking over the London Where To Find and filling it with their literature. There are 450 meetings in these eleven intergroups and about half of them have GSRs, but of course most of the active ones attend their intergroups for Service matters, thus only 40-50 die-hards show up at this Assembly. Guess how many Visionary GSRs are three-line-whipped into going and voting as a bloc? About 30. This is the Fellowship of AA in a nutshell. You only have to organise between five and ten percent of members at any level to control that level.... which is OK if you're picking a tea maker for your group, but dangerous when the decision is whether a meetings-list for newcomers should include instructions to drunken members of the public to get down on their knees."
Any further information on developments in North London (or any other part of the country) would be welcome (and published subsequent to our corroboration procedures)
PS Update on Our Little Twitterer: The poor fellow is still tweeting away - and still providing us with more publicity - but he's getting quite desperate by the sounds of it - abuse levels rising with each successive Tweet - a sure sign of a lost argument - ah bless!
