Hi Simon, sorry to disturb, but I would appreciate it very much if you could kindly change my username for me - from Just Kidding to Divergent
I've decided to change my username because I'm not the same person I was when I first joined this site. Back then, a part of me still believed, and I thought that if my doubts were wrong and the religion actually turns out to be true and I posted negative stuff here... hey, I was only Just Kidding!!!
Sounds stupid, right? Yeah, I know. But that was how it was
Having being completely unbrainwashed now, I feel that it's a time for a change in my username. Why Divergent? Because I am divergent in my nature, just like Tris. She made a life-changing decision and followed her true nature - she became who she actually wanted to be instead of what others expected her to be. For me, I was expected to follow in my parents footsteps. Both of them are spiritual pillars in the congregation, my father being a long-time elder who is well known by all JW's here. Me? I was my own person. Instead of becoming a pioneer, I went for higher education! After graduating though, I tried to pioneer for a while (out of guilt), but that only lasted a few months. I went through the motions for a while after that, then discovered TTATT. My life-changing decision was to fade & become inactive, disappointing all those who had high spiritual hopes for me, especially my family. But I could not be happier now, knowing that I am following my true nature & enjoying a more meaningful life instead of living a lie!
There's another reason why I chose Divergent as my username, but will explain that some other time
Ok, this is a long explanation for a username change request, so I'll stop here
Thanks in advance, Simon!
