Eventually I read some RFM recovery stories and my shelf imploded. I stayed there for a while, migrated to ex-mo social until that forum tanked, and then somehow ended up here.
And man oh man, the content generated on this forum, the sheer level of in depth analysis, educational material, and very, very good contributions by the more educated posters here have been amazing. I almost feel guilty at times getting such good content for free. The level of effort some of the people here who have put in so much energy to make informative, insightful, and sourced contributions blows me away.
Anyway, through the natural evolution of the topic at hand and the fact that you can go in circles only so many times, the discourse here has dropped off a bit. It's not a complaint, but merely an observation because, again, you can only say the same things over and over again before it's all been said. Plus, most Mormons realize they need the protection of a heavily moderated forum to stay ignorant. They're just not going to get that here.

Thanks, Doc!
A great story. I don't think I would recognize you as a TBM.
This is a good board. There are so many bright, impressive people participating here. I think I learn something new every time I log on.
The conversations do seem to go in waves. You get lulls periodically, but then some new Church proclamation or rule will generate pages full of posts. It seems we have acquired quite a few new members from the demise of NOM and we are now getting some interesting, fresh perspectives.
It's the best trailer park I ever parked in.
