These were the 7 steps to Red John Anonymous before we seen the episode air: The bold is the new steps that were amended after we watched the episode.
1.We admit that we are powerless over who Red John is- that our lives had become unmanageable with trying to guess.We admit that we are powerless over this ridiculous Red John episode- that our lives had become unmanageable with trying to accept it as a genuine Red John Reveal.
2. We believe that a Power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity ( After we find out who Red John is) .We make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Heller as we understood Him NEVER.He then fucked us over with nothing that resembles red john. That was the worst mistake of our lives. We are all assholes by putting our faith in him.
3.We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of Red John Suspects, .Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another mentalist followers the exact nature of our wrong guesses.
We are entirely ready to have Heller remove all these defects of wrong character guesses.
We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Ha Ha DID we really do this. OUR SHORTCOMINGS. HA HA HA
4. We make a list of all persons Red John has harmed, and became willing to make resurrected psychopathic serial killers of them all. We Make direct amends to such accused people wherever possible... every two minutes, except when to do so would not agree with the list or increase their height or decrease the amount of hair they have. Our theories were far better then the explainations we got. Trust in ourselves more often.
5. We still continued to take character inventory and when we are wrong promptly admit before changing our minds yet again. Never expect anything more then ONE BADLY EXPLAINED TWIST.
6. We sought through meditation and twitter to improve our conscious contact with Heller as we never understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for Red John and the power to carry that out his character effectively and satisfactory. NONE OF THESE THINGS WERE ACHIEVED.
7.Having had a absolutely no spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to all Red John Anonymous members and to practice these principles in all our affairs. WE try to carry the message not to get hopes up too high as this episode is a complete disappointment and couldn't be worse.
