I just got done listening to the show, John, and I think it was well done. (Don't want to bore you with the same thing about who was speaking when.)

I confess to doing a brief double-take when I read in your post above that you "are looking for a lesbian," but then I figured it out after a second.

I look forward to the next installment, and only regret that I fall into none of the three categories in which you are seeking recruits.

All the Best!

My sister is a lesbian, but she's also deaf. She has never been able to hear, so it stands to reason that she doesn't speak well, either. My mom and I understand Cassie's speech, but I think we're the only two folks who can. That makes it rather difficult for her to participate in a podcast.

Plus, I'd never want her to be on a podcast where someone like you could call in to harass her or otherwise make the kind of disdainful comments you've made here in the past.

I was a member only briefly, for about a year and a half. My experience is pretty "outsiderish". I've been on these boards for four years or so.

This podcast was pathetic. Hopefully, other podcasts will have more balance than this one. Nothing worse than a few guys chewing the fat over the church and why they left it but can't leave it alone.

The LDS church has a powerful message. It is the message that many people can not leave alone and rightly so. It is a message that still rings in people's minds when they leave the LDS church: is it true? Who wrote the Book of Mormon? And did I make the right choice?

For after all, it has not been proven false. And that is the problem with people who have left.

Yes, it was well done. But what did you think of the message of the podcast? It is not quite up to the level of mormonstories.

The Church of Scientology has a powerful message. It is the message that many people can not leave alone and rightly so. It is a message that still rings in people's minds when they leave the LDS church: is it true? Is Dianetics real? And did I make the right choice?

For after all, it has not been proven false. And that is the problem with people who have left.

This is exactly what you sound like, why me.

Jesus H. Christ. For as long as I've participated on this board and read your posts, you've been trotting out this lame tripe. Poster after poster has explained to you the error in your "prove it false" assertion. You don't listen. You don't care to listen. You don't want to learn. You're only here to read your own words and think you're providing something useful to the conversation, which you most definitely are not. You're the pathetic one here, why me. If Shades didn't discourage us from telling other posters to take a hike, I'd most likely do so after every one of your posts. Poo-poo head.

The welcome mat has been rolled out, my friend. I have advertised on pro-LDS sites as well, with little response. But, point of fact, two of the 5 are active LDS.

Mormonstories was well done and thought provoking, but John Delhin stated time and time again that he was trying to contextualize information to aid people in staying in the Church. I have no such goal. We know what his message was: "stay in the Church". My message: "isn't this whole thing interesting?"

What's your message? Why don't you come on and explain it to all of us. Ball's in your court.
