Forced Worship reaches 7,000 hits

Forced Worship has reached 7,000 hits.  While I am happy that this blog is being found useful, I am disturbed that there remains such a need for it.

Please feel free to look at some of my earlier posts for an understanding of what you need to do to get your driving privileges back.  The licensed alcohol and drug counselors (LADCs) who determine whether or not you deserve this believe the standard AA religious pseudo-science:
  • you have a disease called "alcoholism"
  • the cure is to admit this and ask for God's help ("hit your knees")
  • this cure requires nothing less than the complete abstention from alcohol


This is what places like Amethyst Foundation, Inc., and those that work in the recovery industry, want from you.  We all know how deluded this is.  The crime for what you've been arrested is for driving while impaired, not being impaired.  It is not against the law to consume alcohol.

Go along with this charade and do your best job at acting to make them believe you.  Do not show any sign of "willfulness," intelligence, or independent thought.  AA is a cult, and these AA-trained LADCs want mindless, subservient, stupid followers to recruit. Pretend that you are one of the "pigeons" they want.

Otherwise, they will punish you by assigning perpetual, expensive "aftercare," and, perhaps like me, an attempt to permanently revoke your driving privileges (despite it having been only a 1st Offense DWI).

Be very careful until you get your license back.  Good luck.

Amethyst Foundation, Inc.'s 2010 IRS Form 990 -- More of the $ame

I've previously posted on the outrageous amount of money Amethyst Foundation, Inc., brings in, all tax-free.

Well, their IRS Form 990 for 2010 is now available and shows more of the same:
  • a whopping total revenue of $1,165,753.00, of which $1,161,774.00 is entirely program service revenue from the state.
And, apparently, Amethyst Foundation, Inc., operated in the red last year, with expenses of $1,185,201, including:
  • $557,353 in wages (!)  Really?
  • $76,623 for Director Bob Kelley's salary
  • $35,476 for office supplies (!!)  I saw one old HP inkjet printer when I was there.
  •  $109,868 for "all other expenses." 
And if you buy that, I have some swampland in Florida I'd like to sell you.
