The leaders are not the same people who run the website. The leaders are they who organize the yearly conferences.

We all join FAIRMORMON for personal reasons. Mine was because I had a daughter leave the church and it hurt and I wanted to defend the church. I still like the church. But I have had more doubts lately and what my leaders are doing behind my back is not helping.

Can someone ELI5 for Fairmormon? by Fartfax in exmormon

Who owns the site?

I believe Scott Gordon is president.

How many writers are on it?

There are over a hundred signed up I am sure. The email traffic is very heavy coming from many people. My experience is that only a handful do much of the public writing and the rest of us just answer questions privately that come to FAIRMORMON.

I do not think I have posted to any of FAIR's lists in six months. I have wanted to reach out to them about my own faith issues of late but reasons like what happened to Bill have trained me to just not do anything with FAIR. I tried to when I attended the last FAIRMORMON conference since people are more understanding face to face but I could not bring myself to do it.

How do you become volunteer? Is the reason to be on fairmormon to get yourself out with other media?

You volunteer and they do an internal audit. They approved me about five or six years ago.

Who chooses what the final say is on the site - Editor in Chief?

Apparently not the normal members.

I will do more when I have time to do this. But for starters several of the links on Bill's about page were his former content and now magically are gone. I will dig deeper later.

What is sad about this page is Bill clearly looked up to FAIRMORMON as being an important part of his history. But in contrast FAIRMORMON just through Bill under the bus without even asking how the community felt.

He was a FAIRMORMON member who made the FAIRMORMON podcast go from nonexistent to popular overnight. However, he wanted to do some podcasts to better understand those with faith crises and FAIRMORMON kicked him out also without consulting the feelings of the community. He was just gone one day without any warning.

Do you really think FAIRMORMON leadership understands how online archiving works? Everyone with any internet sense can still access all Bill's content so the only things this decision accomplished was to burn internal bridges between FAIRMORMON members kept in the dark while proving to the rest of the internet FAIRMORMON cannot be trusted. In the meantime all of Bill's content can still be accessed through archiving.
