There are several. I am not sure if there are enough to qualify as "many". And activity levels vary quite a bit for the different volunteers.
... suppose, contrary to legend, that Oedipus, for some dark oedipal reason, was hurrying along the road intent on killing his father, and, finding a surly old man blocking his way, killed him so he could (as he thought) get on with the main job. Then not only did Oedipus want to kill his father, and actually kill him, but his desire caused him to kill his father. Yet we could not say that in killing the old man he intentionally killed his father, nor that his reason in killing the old man was to kill his father. (Davidson)

I used fairlds quite a few times in the early phase of struggling in the church. I was lucky enough to converse via email with the famous Greg Smith. He always had very insightful answers, but maybe a little too much information for a lazy reader like myself, but helpful. I don't think there is much out there that they haven't heard before.
But was very curious to know if there were many women, who aren't always cleaning and cooking (DB) but studying as well. But I'm guessing they're doing both.
Especially cleaning the toilets, seems to be the least favorite job in my household especially with men.

I'm not certain of the makeup, but I'm personally acquainted with nearly as many female FAIR board members as male.
To whom it may concern: If you feel inclined to do anything for or in behalf of me after I die -- or even while I'm living, for that matter -- that is comparable in intent to Mormon vicarious baptisms or other ordinances for the dead, feel free. I would even regard it as a magnanimous gesture. I would appreciate the thought in any case.
Nobody gives you all the facts all at once, leastwise anti-Mormons and hostile critics. If selective focus or emphasis amounts to deceit, they are the worst of offenders.
If I detest anything as virulently as anti-Mormons obviously detest Mormonism, feel free to label me as "anti-" the thing I detest. I won't mind in the least.
An author who undertakes to criticize publicly another's religious faith and practice has the obligation, in the first instance, to understand it.
... and the anti-Mormon saith unto them: I am no anti-Mormon, for there is none — and thus he whispereth in their ears.

My bad, sorry about that. I get my .com's and .org's mixed up. So glad to know that the women are maybe making up half the board. I really didn't venture out there much on the board, because when Greg responded I just stuck with him on the email conversations.

Yes. There are several very intelligent women who donate their time on the FAIR list.
"Oh, I don't remember Christ doing any such thing [pointing out the errors in Meldrums theory], I guess its the influence of His brother. What? are you now planning my execution?... You are a fool...You are dangerous to the Church...I hope you get a life so you won't continue to ruin the lives of others" Rodney Meldrum

Then the honest answer is there are no women on fairlds.com
I guess Mormons don't tell the truth.
Please ask me what I believe before telling me what I believe. Hint- start here: http://lds.org/scriptures/
