Nostalgia

[Dr. Shades]

Yes. That's him...........lol, I like your description of him...... I was gonna say Ken Norton, but your wicked comebacks woulda had me blushin -

I am a softy. What?

Mike Norton, oddly, had a lot of traction in a lot of spaces. It was weird. Very weird.

By way of trivia, Mike Norton credits me for his apostasy. It all started when he was researching the Mark Hofmann forgeries and came across my other website.

Nightlion passed away last spring.

I am very sorry to hear this.

Me too. Nightlion sent me a copy of his book many years ago, even though I am not a believer, an act which I found touching and incredibly kind on his part. May he rest in peace.

Heh. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing that Shades.

Wait a minute - that's not a fan site for a Japanese girl group - what's going on here‽‽

True his attitude does his approach far more damage than good, but his information is incredibly powerful!

I wanted to say that you are welcome to do it yourself or support others who can take my information and do so with an approach you find more agreeable. I am what I am. I do what I do because it works for me. I'm sure you can understand that. No hard feelings.

It's almost as if a human being can have multiple interests!

Prompted by some of the (off-topic) back and forth starting around p28 on the God can write straight with crooked lines thread, and not very coherent memories of NOM, FLAK, and earlier incarnations of this board, I wondered if anyone else was feeling nostalgic.

I have some memories that are probably best re-buried, but some really fond ones too. Some posters were incredibly kind to me in the early days of my disaffection, and provided me with more comfort than I could ever express.

I came across a couple of DMs from Nurse in Black, Kate Hepburn, Sacred Sister, and the incomparable Dathon, and realised the extent to which I was drowning back then, mostly due to being married to a TBM and having no idea how things were going to work out - or if they were. I'm happy to say that we have more than survived, but it was iffy for a while.

Was it Belaja who wielded the "FU" stick? She is someone else I have reason to be grateful to.

What about Mel and Korihor? Solistics? Froggie? Lots of others too. Whenever I make banana bread, I use Froggie's recipe!

Ha! Mel Tungate. I haven't thought much about in years. He was active on the original message board that I think came out of BYU called Mormon-l, if I remember correctly. Remember that one? Before ZLMB.

A guy who had left the church, Preston I believe, was a 'good egg' that participated on Mormon-l along with Tungate and others. That was my first experience on a message board. Honestly, it was a lot more fun than this one. People didn't pile up on others. People were civil.

If I'm remembering, Froggie was on NOM. That was a good board. Yep, some nostalgia for the days before things went more in the direction of silo building and protection/defense. And doing anything to get rid of the 'outlier'.

I guess we have Trump to blame for it.

Mike Norton seems like a sociopath. A narcisisstic jackass at very least. I don't like him. But at least he put a few good videos of the temple rituals out there.

MG, do you remember KevinSim? He was a believer and seemed like a gentle soul, and participated in a few of the more esoteric discussions about theology, if memory serves me well. I can’t speak to his activity outside of this board but he was pretty active on DM for a while.
