“I Want to Start an A.A. History and ‘Old-School’
A.A. Bible Roots Group!”
Article Four: Suggested Topics for Your “Old-School”
Meetings

Article Three provided two samples of how you can lead your meetings.
And we will write three or four short articles that give you some practical
suggestions and some hints for avoiding controversy and blockades.
This article (Article Four) provides dozens of suggested
topics to use at an “old-school” meeting. There certainly can be no “one size
fits all.” What you do in a meeting, what the topic should be, and how you
should conduct a meeting depends on all of the following vital factors:
·
Asking God in the name of Jesus Christ what He
would like to see you do, and exactly how to do it.
·
Following His directions.
·
Making your own choice, depending upon the
topic, the type of meeting, and what the Group has decided in its “informed
group conscience” meeting.
·
Aiming at serving and glorifying God and His Son
Jesus Christ.
·
Carrying an accurate, effective message to those
who still suffer that God can and will help them if they want that help and
have renounced drinking and drugging for good.
The first suggested groups of topics are provided in our new
book:
