The Immanuel Movement and AA

In the 1910s, states were sterilizing alcoholics and addicts. Charles Edwin Dederick was born in Toledo, Ohio on March 22, 1913. His namesake dad was a horrible alcoholic who died in a drunk driving accident when Chuck was four years old. Today, one of the main valid complaints against AA is that it can act as an incubator for strong men and guruswho often engage in profound mental, physical, and social abuse of their group members.
