I am a member of a "12 step felliwship"
all such fellowships are to be
unaffiliated with any outside organizations

but
we meet in churches and community centers
so, religious and government places

the overriding construct on the "business" side is a 501c, government again

in order to reach more potential members, the "business side" met with treatment centers (corporations) and correctional over bodies (government)

where we meet, we say we pay rent, but really it's a donation as near no one asks for a fee

the business side has our books printed in chy na, despite 50% of cost of printing goes (or used to) to the ccp

my point, sedation is the trance, predating convid exposure

"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"

So, yeah, I tip toe at every meeting
