I've enjoyed this board immensely for the past 7 years. I've laughed with you, cried with you, anguished and sorrowed with so many. But it's time for me to let mormonism go. As long as I'm here I'm constantly unsettled by the cult and their foolish behavior. If I'm going to find any peace I cannot live with the shadow of the cult hanging around me. Unfortunately keeping up with the board establishes that shadow for me and it's time to let it go.
I cannot go without saying THANK YOU to so many of you whom I've adored for so long. Cr@ig, Steve, Stray, Tim, Cheryl, WCG, Primis, Suzie 1,2,3, Eric and etc... thank you for enlightenment, joy, a good laugh, reflection, honesty and the kind of fellowship that makes life just that much nicer.
For those of you that are in the middle of the "crisis" of leaving remember that some day the sun will shine, the clouds will part and it won't be Jebus you'll see. It'll be a happy you.
If anything is clear to me at 59 years old it's this. If you're not smiling, you're not doing it right.
Best of everything to each and every one of you.
Dennis Glade (Hotwaterblue)

Do stop by and have a drink once in a while.

In the meantime, PARTY ON, MATE!

You'll be missed.

I'm glad you're doing what you need to do. (But, gee-whiz, you will be missed around here.)

Stop back if and when it seems right and do take care. : )

When it's time to go, it's time to go! You know what you need in your life. That's great!
Like we used to say: "See ya later alligator!"

In the Salt Lake small circles department I've re-connected with an old classmate who tells me two of her kin are posting here. Right from your neck of the valley...

Drop me a line at least if you get back to Zion; yeah, this place is demanding, but it is also nurturing and far more comfortable than some other Internet cab stands I've parked on...

Wish people wouldn't do that. Long-time poster NormaRae, who influenced my own departure from the Morg, recently left for good. I have the sinking feeling that she was pushed over the edge by me. Whatever the case, it's hard to see an old familiar poster quit the fold, as it were. Can we hope that you will check back in from time to time?
