Mine is simple, I drink coke, always have, even when I was a Mo. As a troll recently pointed out, coke isn't forbidden in the church, but that is only because the church is not consistent. Also, it is forbidden if you drink it with rum in it, as I am prone to doing. How did you come up with your screen name?

metal needed to ferry the brood around.

My dad used to call me a "knothead" when I was growing up. I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina. Voila, an Internet persona is born.

LOL, my Dad did that too and I still have knots on my head to prove it.

Anagrammy is an anagram for angry mama, plus I am a grammy, so it is like a little prism of meaning to me.

All my life my parents told me to go get dressed in my church clothes. Church clothes this, church clothes that.

They are no longer my church clothes. They're my dress clothes.

It sounds stupid, but it's significant to me.

About 9 years ago, I was disfellowshipped, then it started using the moniker "Tossdoubt". about a year ago I realized that from visiting here, I really had "foundoubt". so here I am.

After years and years of being a nice dependable always on time Mormon. I was Missing in action. Mia.
No easing out for me. I don't think the actual name of Mia fits me very well though. Just a little too sweet.

Hobble Creek Canyon: it used to be home sweet home

I started out using the moniker "notsure" because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted out of this website or how I wanted to get out of Mormonism. I was pretty confused back then.

When I felt like I had a direction out of Mormonism, I decided to give it a name: Skeptical Non-Believer. That describes the way I approach religion and pretty much everything in general.

Back then the board members would bitch out and whine at people who didn't register. It was a fairly large part of the etiquette here that most people wouldn't talk to you unless you were registered. For some reason or technical error I couldn't register my name. I sent six or so emails to Susan, which were completely ignored.

After about six months of that annoyance I decided to shorten my name and register. I am snb now and will always be snb. :)

it's a fly (for fishing)

i was tying some while reading rfm and i realized that my old name didn't fit anymore (too many bad memories) so i tried it on and that's that

It's my drink of choice!

The mormons I used to work with was always telling me that because I had left "the church",,I was unworthy. Used to tell them ,,thank you,,,

Mine is somewhat of a nickname I used to have. (My stripper name). Just kidding about the stripper part.

Haha yay for fake stripper names:)

So now you all do, too. :)

... Timothy, but I go by "Tim" or "Big Tim" IRL.

"Timmy" requires authorization.

My biker friends call me "Sasquatch" but that bears no relevance in this conversation.

I chose Timothy for this forum because of the religious implications.

Oh, and also because it wasn't already taken.

Timothy

Blank Slate, meaning I started over.

Ron

A garden veggie with a catchy name thats easy to remember. No deep meaning whatsoever.

I'm mystic without a belief system. I first started using the name during my faith crisis, as I felt "lost".

Now I'm pretty content being "lost".

Yet in my attempt to commune with the universe, I've started using my brain again.

So there it is.

Aj Hart is my porn star name hahaha back in high school drama, we were thinking of stage names and I chose Aj Hart, and everybody told me it sounded like a stripper name. Kinda stuck with me;) A and j are my first two initials as well.

I felt like a sucker fool at the time. I believe in the future I will change my screen name because I don't want to give the impression I suck foos.

I prefer the painful harsh reality to ignorance.

This song came to my mind when I tried to think up a name:

I'm alive/so alive

For a decade I was scrabbler, for my game of choice. When the new board software came out, I adopted a new name. It pokes fun at the church spokesman, Scott Trotter, as anyone who is that full of it, or has "the trots" might need Scott Tissue, plus having the first initial sounds like a general authority name, like the late N. Eldon Tanner.

Star Wars Episode III.

Order 66 was one of a series of contingency orders that the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were trained to prepare for during their growth. The order branded the Jedi as traitors of the Republic and called for their immediate execution without question. Its issuing by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine marked the formal beginning of the Great Jedi Purge, starting the rise of the Galactic Empire, and it was chief among the atrocities that led to the Galactic Civil War.

Almost all of the Jedi were killed by Order 66, and most of the survivors were killed in the Great Jedi Purge that followed. The Jedi Order survived through acts of surviving Jedi, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda teaching Luke Skywalker the ways of the Force.

I have an obsession with mythology- since I could read I've been devouring mythology from all over the word. I didn't feel like going with a Greek, Roman, or Norse Goddess name so i went with Aztec. Itzpapalotl means either "Obsidian Butterfly" or possibly "Clawed Butterfly" which some archeologists speculate is really a bat. When I was a pagan, both animals were my personal totems.

Isn't mythology fun?!? :)

Mine is pretty self-explanatory.
Didn't know what name to take. Then I thought of my province and how I love it because it's a nice combination or mixture of Europe and America and it's a nice place to live.

holistic to me means-- healing from the inside out, loving yourself, wanting to change and be better, physical activity-burning that anger and agitation of the mormon church and channeling it out of me and letting in positivity. I found myself becoming more whole and connection through yoga and relaxation.

I know I have a long ways to go but my previous screen name didn't reflect who I was anymore... my first one was connected more to me going in silence and not speaking out against the church. I was more of a frightened person back then. Maybe I will change it again, but for now holistic will do!

Enjoyed reading about all of your guy's, that was fun.

Mom made a big-ass deal about wearing white shirts to sacrament, going so far as to buy me tons of white shirts. Also, The Princess Bride, Johhny Cash, and Men in Black, all good allusions.

Just a play on my real name.

I love coffee....

I let my TBM parents choose it. Ha ha.

After being in and out of the faith my whole life, I finally took the bag off my head (that analogy is somewhere on this site)...also refers to me seeing my wife able to leave at some point.

Years ago, a neighbor kid started coming to our house in the morning, then going to afternoon Kindergarden and coming home with the older kids to our house until his parents got home.

First day of shcool he walks into the house and say's "hi Jonny the Smoke" out of the blue, and I had never heard the expression before.

I thought it was funny, so when I made my first post to this very BB, I needed a handle so I used "Jonny the Smoke".

MrE: Mr. E and "Mystery"

One day at college I was playing Donkey Kong in the common room of my student accommodation and when it came time to put my name down for my high score I typed in Matt by mistake. When I tried to press delete it accepted it, instead.

I realised I liked the name Matt and when, several years later, I needed a screen name for RFM, I recalled the Matt incident and realised I already had my screen name.

Gaelic for "Shining Bright" or "Brightness"

After years in Morg darkness, I wanted a handle that signified illumination.

Oh, and I'm partly of Irish descent.

While working for the church security department, a anti called me a Danite. I had never heard this term before, but it was explained to me that it was in reference to a secret church organization that committed murders.

I'm a teacher and summer is my favorite time of the year. It represents freedom to me, and it suits me, I think.

If you listen to John Mayer (I like you already if you do), you'll know he has a song called Vultures. When I heard it, I knew that song represented the people from church and also my family, who were just hanging around, waiting and watching me, to see if I would just implode at any moment. They were circling like vultures so they could pick me clean. They still circle now and then, but for the most part, they've been tamed. Pretty much what I set out to do, anyhow.

The moniker is a little bit sacred to me because it represents a time in my life where I have had to make it on my own, in spite of other peoples opinions and hatred for me. I also didn't think I would ever reveal the meaning behind it because it leaves me open for "discovery" by people who might be lurking, and realize my true identity. But really, where did they think they would find me? :).

It's a combination of my real name Dominique and my nick name Nikki...dominikki

I couldn't think of a better way to hide the fact that I am a TBM in Alaska (J/K)

I work up north a lot. Almost to the point where every direction is south. When the season is done I am southbound to warmer climates.
