Mockingbird's Nest: Farewell To The Ex Scientologist Message Board

I left Scientology about five years, in 2014 after being in for about twenty-five years. I got a lot of help from a lot of people and would honestly have trouble mentioning all of them.

Jon Atack, Arnie Lerma, Tony Ortega, Tory Christman and Chris Shelton each provided help in one way or another and I communicated with each of them several times over the years and a couple of them in Jon Atack and Arnie Lerma dozens of not hundreds of times. Their help was a gift freely given and truly invaluable to me personally.

I know the Ex Scientologist Message Board is shutting down as far as receiving new content in the next few days. I want to acknowledge that the people there have provided a tremendous amount of help to me as well. Some are well known in their own right but many are less famous than the first five people I mentioned. I want to say that to list all the people who have helped and encouraged me at ESMB would take hours and hours of digging through threads, messages and notifications. Rather than doing that I want to just thank them as a group here.

I have written dozens of posts and comments at ESMB and as many people here know started my own blog Mockingbird's Nest blog on Scientology with over three hundred posts there as well.

I want to make it available and to make finding particular posts easier so I have a chronological archive available.
