We are in good shape and the $4000 we raised earlier this year should last us until Spring of 2015, if all goes well.

When we have a serious DoS attack, it can be expensive. That is the reason organizations launch a denial of service attack because of the costs in resolving issues for the victim of the attack. It is dirty.

Anyways here is an invoice I was just paying.

Thanks Eric and thanks for everything you do.

When you ask for contributions next time, I will be delighted to participate again.

Financial transparency is a wonderful thing.

Just think of the interesting things we might learn if TSCC did the same ;-)

We're seeing Biblical history all over again:

A Nickle and Dime David verses the Multi-billion-dollar Goliath!


(and a BIG thanks)

Good information to know. I'll have my CC handy for the next donation drive. :)

Happy I'm able to contribute to a good cause! :-)

Ouch. Thanks for dealing with all that, Eric.

Now if we can get a statement from the church we'll really have something.

The money commitment is only the beginning of your endeavor. Having to add up and keep an eye on finances doesn't sound like my kind of fun, nor does watching the board constantly and staying on top of all that needs to be done out front and behind the scenes.

Thousands appreciate the effort.

The time you and others spend supporting Exmormon.org is substantial I think.

I find it interesting how people have praised John Dehlin about his helping people.

The numbers of people you have helped just in venting and moving away from LDS Inc. boggles my mind. There is no comparison other than money and I think Dehlin wins in the financial benefits from his helping others.

You guys (and gals) on the other hand do it all pro bona and with a sincere interest in helping others recover from this blight on human culture.

Supporting a totalitarian hyper-traditional judgmental and moralistically abusive multi-billion dollar corporation in retaining people who don't share its "values" or just helping people. No comparison. You guys are the good guys and I hope you will yet have decades of solvency to come from grateful participants in donations of money and time.

What you do is amazing. Not only the keeping up with the financial aspects, but all the volunteer hours that you and others put into RFM.

This has got to be one of the best forums on the entire net, we all love you for it!
