    We reviewed our own conduct over the years past. (69: 1) List all the people, institutions, and principles we have caused trouble for through our sexual conduct and relationship behaviors. We work down our list from top to bottom, just writing names for now. We ignore the Second and Third columns for the time being.

    The thing to do with sin is to do what Nicodemus did: go and search out someone with whom we can talk privately and frankly. Tell them of these things and, with them as witness, give these sins and our old selves with them, to God. You say that you can do this alone with God; and I ask you, Have you succeeded in doing so? I said I was going to do that for years, but it never happened until I let a ...

    I'm always interested in other people's understanding of The God of Their Understanding. This video caught my attention because Ernest Kurtz is in it. Kurtz wrote the book "Not God" A history of Alcoholics Anonymous, a book that I read many years ago.
