Necessary change; my distressing situation

    I just need to let everyone know that I need to change my screen name. If you read my topic on "Help! Help! My son wants to tell elders about me", then you know that I had an email from a board friend inadvertantly get into my family mail box, and was discovered by my JW son while visiting. He made a copy of it, and it contained my screen name, "LostMyReligion" . In order to cover myself somewhat, after being outed by him, I need to get rid of that name. I doubt he will come here, but just in case.

    I am going to return to the name I first used when I posted briefly a couple of months ago. I changed to avoid gender confusion, but I will work around that. So from now on, I will be posting as "Truman". Too bad I have to lose my post count number, and return as a newbie, but oh well.

    I have had some progress on the situation which precipitated this, and I will post it under that name. Thanks for your indulgence and understanding, everyone.

    LMR (soon to be Truman)

    I've just pointed this out to Simon, he said he'll change the name for you.

    Hello LMR/Truman - I was so glad to see a post from you . I had seen your distressing "help" post and I felt for you. I couln't offer any other advise other than what had already been posted. Glad to see that you will still be hanging around!

    Take care of yourself

    Before you get your official name change I would like to say that your present one really struck a cord with me, as did your situation. When I was in your situation, wanting to drift away and still maintain family relationships, there was a song being played on the radio a lot which had the words "loosing my relgion" in it that used to go round in my head. It came back when I saw your name.

    I hope you can drift away. I wasn't able to due to a family member going to the elders to try and help me [8>]. But in the end it worked out, because they eventually saw the truth about "the truth" for themselves .

    Hang in there LMR/Truman

    Let me know if you need me to change your name - sounds like you already have another account to use. If you want, I can swap your posts over to that account.

    Regards

    Hi Simon,
    Happy to be able to speak to you for the first time. Yes, I would indeed like to have my posts swapped over to the "truman" screen name. Thanks a lot, and thanks too for this board for us to enjoy!
