1. group conscience is where you need to be

my experience is that any group that breaks traditions won't be a group long....

it's like government, if you don't vote you can't bitch.

if you don't like the way the meeting is run, start running the meeting!!

it's YOUR group, make it good. or just start going to open AA meetings. the purpose of any meeting is to carry the message to those who still suffer. carry the message, not the mess.

rant over

2. For your information, I've been to group conscience meetings for this group before.

So I guess I DO vote, so I can bitch So don't be so quick to leap to conclusions, OK?
If you had some reading comprehension, you'd have known that. I posted:

" What is the point of deciding things at a group conscience, but then those decisions aren't enforced? I've been through that with this particular meeting again. I've taken a break from this meeting before, and I'm going to do it again. "

This group has had group consciences before--they make decisions about what procedures to follow
in the meeting, it's written in the Suggested Opening that we are to REFRAIN FROM THE USE OF MENTION OF LITERATURE OTHER THAN OUR CAL.

But nobody ever speaks up. A person chairs and doesn't follow the written procedure. Nobody says anything.

I've spoken up several times about the literature business business before.

I've done all I can to keep this group on track, but nobody else seems to care. Of if they do, they are too wimpy to speak up.

I'll find another group to go to.

Thanks for nothing. Hope that made you feel superior.
