"HolySmoke ain't polite."

If you do not have local access to a BBS that carries Fido: Holysmoke, you may telnet to Holysmoker Dave Hamilton's BBS at bbs.sbase.com. Tell him I said hi!

One of my odder pasttimes is hanging out in Fido: Holysmoke, which has variously been described as a "religious foodfight", a "pit of eviiiil", and other fitting and not so fitting appellations. For me, it is a place where religious views (and all manner of other assumptions and beliefs) are not accorded any sort of "divine right" to respect and consequently it is a place of great honesty for those who choose to seek it.
Holysmoke is accessible via FIDONET BBSs -- you're going to have to get OFF the Internet and call a BSS that carries it.
You can also meet a few of the regulars and past participants on IRC at another.net on #holysmoke. You'll find me cleverly disguised as CattyBtch, the nickname given me by Fido:Holysmoke wierdo, John Prewett. He thinks JFK is the Antichrist, though, so it *may* not be accurate. Then again....?
You know you're addicted to IRC if...

Who are we? Come find out....and remember: You've been warned!
Holysmoke Personalities on the Web
Styx Allum's Home Page - - Styx began Holysmoke years ago on a local BBS...since then Holysmoke has become one of the most heavily trafficked echos in FIDONET, in large part to Styx's light touch with moderating duties, coupled with a firm hand in seeing to it that the few (actually, one) rule of Holysmoke IS enforced. (Wanna know what that rule is? Come to Holysmoke and find out -- or you can read about it in the FAQ)
Styx's Wilderness Page
The Ultimate "Let Me Tell You About My Grandkids" Homepage Judith Bandsma's Brag Book.

William M. Branham Home Page - - this one doesn't REALLY belong here, as it's not a Holysmoker's site. It IS about the religious assertions of one of our odder ducks, Anthony Grigor-Scott. He's been spending a lot of time talking about these "miraculous" pictures, so go take a look.

Jeffrey L. Nonken's HomepageOldtimers in Fido: Holysmoke will remember Blanche Nonken. She hasn't yet found a BBS that carries it, but she and her husband Jeff (jnork) are both regulars in #holysmoke. Come visit their website! They've got pictures!
Blanche Nonken This is Blanche's own site.
Al's Cosmic Comic Homepage Al Schroeder is Baaaa-aackk......in IRC, anyway. He's posting occasionally in FIDO as well, but primarily to pick up old dead issues that he called a waste of his time when he left. Go figure.
