'sup chumps?

[_Kishkumen]

nah.

1. I just wanted to let you guys know, in a charitable way, that someone is paying attention to your contributions.

2. I felt the need to subject myself to the anger for a bit. I won't stick around, probably. It was just a little fun to see some comments from some of the regulars. Thought I'd provide a bit of a shout out. In spite of it all, I grew fond of many of you.

Stem! So glad that the testimony is still strong as ever. Remember never to let the Church cause you to stumble in your testimony of the Gospel.

So, stem, are you telling us that you are paying attention to us, or are you speaking in more ominous terms?

In any case, it's great to see you. I was super bummed about your departure and really jazzed to see you have reappeared.

I poked around a bit today. Oh how some memories flooded right in. I trust you're all doing well, save for the few mentally unstable ones. No need to pout, I don't pretend to be some professional to make such judgments, just playin.

Anyway, thanks for the laughs and the thoughts. I'll see if any of ya remember me when I pop back in in the enxt few days.

Life's sweet. Kids are a delight. Sorry to report my testimony, as they say, is in tact.

Love ya tons anywho.

Pep pep!

Glad you're doing well!

A waste of bandwidth that could more effectively be used for photos of Lindsay Lohan's snatch.

uh...what's a snatch? nevermind. Don't care. If pornography is what you want there's plenty of that out there on the web. my goodness don't know what you're doing here, or more accurately, now I know why you're here. oh settle down, drama queen...

I'm paying some attention. I pop in every few weeks. There's usually something I find of worth, even if I find myself digging through mounds of worthlessness--no offense.

Peace to you. Nice to see you around.

Well, don't hesitate to jump in, and by all means do not be a stranger.

Google it and Google Mormonism.

You mentioned that your cultimony was intact? This is good as long as you are still sending 10% of your family income to help support the state which my brothers reside in.

Hurry up and get that home teaching done early.

Do you pay on net or gross? Do you want net or gross blessings?

I'm not a fan of gross things like sewers, but I love spending time on the net.

Zee?

I pay zero. The COB owes me.

Hey, here is a grand idea!

Figure out how much total tithing that you paid to the LDS cult.

Divide that by the average yearly tithes per member in your demographic.

Work on deconverting that number of people.

Even Steven!

Previously on "It's all about me..."

Since I first began posting around here I've had a number of you folks complain about me to the point of wishing I wasn't around at all (in truth the complaining about me started before I ever showed up, which I guess is a sad commentary of this place as a whole but a good illustration of what is to be expected around here). My time here is probably over. I don't really intend to participate anymore. So see ya.

Hey all, it's cool. I get it. I realize the hostility would like to continue unabated. I truly think its a sad thing, to tell the truth. I would prefer you all get over it and learn to enjoy others a little more--open up, relax, appreciate others (in another twist of irony it turns out this place perhaps represents the problem i see within the Church--the attitude of some members seems paramount among those who do not believe anymore and post here. Consequently I do wonder if those prone to leave the Church and turn into the group that is here are those at Church with attitude problems?). But since you don't seem willing to change or listen I won't go about stopping ya. The wonderful threads complaining about LDS folks are going to just keep popping up, I see.

I wish peace upon ya--every single one of ya. I've certainly enjoyed getting a few pictures of some of you. Others of you I really feel for (indeed prayers have been offered, if that's means anything to anyone). I maintian this place isn't wholly corrupt. There is some very redeemable qualities in every poster, of course, and very good things happening in this place as a whole. That was my brief last attempt to build you all up and hope you change for the good (don't fret, I'm sure it was all in vein too). In a way I'd like to stick around, but I realize no matter what I do and say things will be parsed, mocking will continue and ultimately discussion will be halted. I've come to realize more than anything, here we have the ironically named "Discussion" board. Truly its far more about mocking and deriding and high fiving bullies and back slapping for displays of anger than discussion.

'Til we meet again, huh? Yeah yeah...i know, just playing with that comment.

Oh stop Pouting.

Sincerely,
David

P.S. I'll probably come back around to read what you guys say in this thread. So go ahead and offer the parting shots. I'll look at them as opportunities to get a good honest look at how I can improve as a person. I know I have a long way to go.
