Awesome! Carry our banner proudly today!

A hearty congratulations to the two of you! Here here!

Congrats, Runtu and Ms. Jack!!!

I'd also like to offer my congratulations and acknowledgement of their contributions.

Congrats guys! You totally deserve it!

ETA: I guess congrats are also due William Schryver, the misogynist. Congrats, big guy! =)

I suppose I'll have to eat my words, because I have taken an interest in the Brodies, and I'm glad to see that Runtu won in the "Best Book-Length Memoirs". My vote, obviously, pushed him over the line (wink). MDB placed fourth in the "Best Discussion Forum" category. What's a bit surprising is that "New Order Mormon" won this category. In the "Best faithful-perspective Mormon Blog", Joanna Brooks ("Ask Mormon Girl") won by a country mile. Her nearest rivals were not even in sight. John Dehlin's Mormon Stories podcast won "Best LDS-Interest Audio/Video Channel/Series", with Mormon Expression second.

So what does this all mean? I'm almost hesitant to register a verdict, but it seems to me that more, and more ex-Mormons, are avoiding "loss of faith" extremes, and in spite having lost faith, are looking for more temperate, or moderate and balanced interpretations of their religious past/upbringing, and this is particularly evident in the NOM phenomenon.

Congratulations, MsJack and Runtu!!!

yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
