We have been fortunate that one individual paid $105.00 monthly for over 12 years. That stopped last year. I thanked him for his generosity. It was a great resource for us. We had advertising for a legal firm that did not have the impact we had hoped. Mormons are afraid to sue their church. I am retired now and do not wish to pay out of my retirement funds. Below is the current invoice. We have fees such as server upgrades or help with site attacks (DoS attacks) a few times a year, which we have to pay for.

We have an account at Paypal - erickett@wingnet.net which is used for donations. I expect our expenses for the next 12 months to be around $2500.00. If you could help, it would be wonderful. Contributing is certainly not mandatory. No one is paid here including myself and all the admins. You can also send a check or donate via credit card directly to wingnet as shown on the invoice.

Thanks. There is also a paypal button at the bottom of http://www.exmormon.org which accepts credit cards.

Eric

If you get extra money as the donations come in, will you promise to buy beer and glow in the dark condoms?

We stop the donations when we get to our goal. LOL

This is way cheaper than therapy and I think it helps more.

We have already received $20.00 and another for $5.00 in just a few minutes. In the past, the average donation was $25.00. We don't want to make this a burden to anyone.


Thanks,

Eric

I'll pitch in when I get paid on Tuesday.

:)

$20 on the way

Thanks.

In less than an hour we have already received $130.00. A great group of people here!

Heading to the gym and then dinner with our neighbors.

Like the ones about politics and not being a jerk? ;-)

Shut up- you liberal, whining, dumbass.

I just put in @20. Just the connection to SalamanderSociety.com is worth that much. And just think is we save just one soul from the grasp of the money grubbing 15. How great will be our reward wherever.

That felt so much better than anything I ever gave the mormons.

Eric $20 is coming your way. Thank you for your huge support. We all know that leaving Mormonism is not easy.

Sent $25
Happy to help

Have a phone, but no finances go through it (hack away, bad guys!). Will happily, gratefully donate $20 when I get to work on Tuesday.

Done!

Mine's the donation from France ;-)

Thanks Eric and everyone else involved. This is a very important resource.

Tom in Paris

$50

I appreciate this site and the resource and help it is in my life.

Many, Many thanks to those who make RFM possible.

My donation is on the way....I am reminded of the saying, however it goes, that many helping hands make a task lighter and quicker.

This site is valuable in ways that may never be known. If a person reads it, and is spared from a lifetime of spinning prayer wheels, how can a price be placed on that?

I admire Erik for his transparency, courage and decency.

I've posted this on Facebook, and will encourage my friends to assist, even if Mormon, non-Mormon, ex-Mormon, atheists, Islamic or _______________ .

Thank you.

My request, posted at Facebook:

A PLEA FOR HELP FROM DR. DILLON

Mormonism is the best-dressed pervert on the block, trapping truly great men, women and children into a cult of works. The LDS church changes doctrines, history and answers whenever lawsuits, investigations or disgusted followers leave in large numbers.

exMormon.org is a fine site that serves as a lighthouse, warning away families from lies, exaggerations and cleverly created advertisements, to snare new tithe payers, baby-makers and missionaries.


I ask that you contribute, even a little, to help Erik Kettunen pay the annual costs of keeping the site up. The total is not that much, and so, very little is needed from us.

If you are a person who sees the damage of cults, and despises prideful rich men who lie in order to gain greater influence to attain authoritarian control through shady political moves, please contribute, regardless of faith or no faith.

I am asking.

Dr. Joseph Dillon

Done!

Thousands of posters and lurkers are helped daily making this one of the best bargains I can imagine.

Thanks to Eric for shouldering this heavy work load for so long and to whoever donated monthly for so many years.

I'm glad to see this kindness and generosity today. Life is better when there's RfM. It lets us know we're not alone.

I wish it was closer to pay day. Like the day of or after. (It's been a very expensive month in WineyLand. Funds depleted)

^

Glad to help support the cause!

200 Sp ;)

Keep up the good fight!

My smidgen of money is on its way. Pretty cheap therapy IMO. Thanks for all you and other admins do.

Contribution on the way via PayPal--I take it nevermo money is OK too...

Best wishes and good counting to all.

Eric, I'm not hooked up to paypal and would like to donate. May I send a check? Much appreciation for your work.

Iris,

This is where Eric has listed you can mail a check to the following address:

WingNET Internet Services
P.O. Box 2605
Cleveland, TN 37320-2605

Eric also asks that you write "Account 3092" in the Memo section. (per his detailed note above.)

Thanks.

This has been a wonderful, wonderful place to hang out this past 12 months. THANKS!
Happy to help from Aus

$20 on the way.

At this rate, the fundraising goal will be reached by Monday morning. Thanks so much. I will post an update in the morning.

I made up for one lost month.

$25 from this nevermo. Money well spent! You guys are tremendous!

I'm happy to be able to join in with a remarkable group of people. Sent it via PayPal.

Donation on the way. Thanks Eric, Susan, and everyone else for all you do!

I chipped in a month. Thanks for all the everything you, Susan, tevai, et al, do. Most appreciated.

Will be on its way in the a.m.
This site has been a refuge.
Thank you, Eric and admin!

$25 check in envelope to be mailed tomorrow. (Today's a holiday)

You do good work, Eric.

Odd amount.

In honor of Memorial Day and my Civil War veteran great grandpa, I'll be joining with Iris and notamormon by sending mine by "pony express" as soon as the post office resumes its regularly scheduled service.

Viva la RfM! :)

I will put out the total donations received summary when I have a few minutes late this evening or in the morning on Tuesday. The rough total is over 2900.00 and a few more have trickled in since. We received enough in just one day. Amazing.

I played in a jazz band for the Vets this morning. This evening I have a concert to perform in with a community orchestra. There are a few tunes I need to review after my nap. Playing in 87 degree heat wore me out.

Again, thanks,

Eric
