Hi.

[Hezekiah]

It's been a couple of months. Remember Confessional Lutheran? That's me. Andrew, if you prefer. I had an issue with my email address this week, so I had to register for another. Hi, @Josiah , @Lämmchen , @Romanos and everybody.

 

[Josiah]

Hi. Welcome back

 

[Hezekiah]

Hey, man. Thanks.

 

[psalms 91]

Welcome back

 

[Andrew]

Glad to see you around!

 

[Romanos]

Hello and welcome back! Would you like to see about getting back into your old account?

@Confessional Lutheran logged in yesterday. Who are you?

That would be great, @Romanos, but my email address has changed..

 

[Hezekiah]

@Confessional Lutheran logged in yesterday. Who are you?

Confessional Lutheran. Yeah, I logged in and because my andrewmcdonaldgooding@outlook.com got blitzed a couple of days ago, I had to sign up for a new email account. I'm going to Maundy Thursday Divine Service at Hope Lutheran in Manassas tonight at 7:15, but I'll be back later to see what I can do about reviving my old account. Ouch, Lammchen.

 

[Hezekiah]

Welcome back

Thanks, man. Once my health issues get resolved ( more or less), I get technical issues. Just don't forget about your password when your job coach tells you to log into his laptop. Such is life, but it can be a bit of a pain. Autofill is generally a good thing, but when you have to remember something off the fly and you can't, it kind of sucks.

 

[Hezekiah]

Glad to see you around!

Thank you, @Andrew.

 

[Josiah]

Confessional Lutheran, Virginian born and bred and also known as Andrew. I logged out, too. :/

Let's see if I understand.... you came here yesterday under Confessional Lutheran... then 20 minutes later as Confession1, having re-registered undr a different name? Did you re-register because you had problems 20 minutes earlier? I'm not really following you.... well... that's okay.

It's very easy for Staff to confirm you are one and the same, and I'm sure Romanos did that,

Sooooooooo... bottom line... welcome!

Yeah, Romanos can restore your former name.



Blessings on your Holy Week!

Josiah

Okay. I had autofill on this particular PC, so I was able to log in as Confessional Lutheran. I had difficulties with my outlook email account a couple of days ago. I didn't want to have people send me emails to an account that I couldn't get into. I let Pastor Wallschlaeger, my parents and my job coach know that I changed my account, as well as my bank, ancestry.com, 23andMe.com, Concordia Publishing House , Barnes and Noble. I logged out as Confessional Lutheran. I had to relog in and as I didn't have access to my old email, I made a new account under my new email addy. My Holy Week has reminded me that where my treasures are, there is my heart, also. I've had a pretty harsh Monday and Tuesday, yesterday was a little better ( I had an interview for a receptionist position that I feel pretty good about) and today has been fantastic. I know that this is a pretty small cross to bear in the grand scheme of things, but that small cross weighed heavily on my mind. Sometimes, everything has to be erased.

My name is Andrew, I've been a Confessional Lutheran since 2013, when Pastor McKenzie received me into Hope Lutheran Church in Jacksonville, FL. I moved back to Virginia after my divorce in 2014 and I attend Hope Lutheran Church in Manassas, VA. My bloodline is basically English and Scottish, with one French Creole Great- grandmother and traces of Germanic heritage from both sides of the family. I like history, religious studies and genealogy.

Please contact our Facebook page with the account you normally use for Facebook. I have the ID for that account saved so it has to be from that account please.

I updated my Facebook account with my new email ( which is my old email with " andrew" subtracted) when I updated everything else. Well, I did send you all my " hellos" at Facebook all the same.

I'm waiting to hear back from the owner, I wrote him last night.

We need to work on doing something to verify users when things like this happen and it's a legitimate concern because I know other sites have had people scam their way in which is why I need to be diligent with security on my end.

 

[Josiah]

Confessional...

Sorry this happened to you!
Glad to have you here....

MY (rather worthless) advise would be to inform the Staff when such problems exist (at nearly all sites, the contact email is on the main page - just for such issues). Romanos and Lamm may have been able to address this for you.

Having been on staff elsewhere, one genuine problem is "socks" - when one poster creates more than one account, pretending to be different people. This is done sometimes to evade bans and other staff actions, sometimes so they can have conversations with themselves, sometimes because some have come to dislike or ignore them. At some sites, "sock"accounts are not allowed. Usually, Staff can verify that it's the same person BUT skilled posters can avoid this (I won't tell you how, lol) Staff is always "on guard" for sock accounts, although obviously you were not a problematic poster.


Anyway, good to have you in our community. I hope to see you around (a lot)....


A blessed Easter to you and yours....

Understood. It does get to be kind of a pain for you guys, I'm sure. It's not overly fun for me, either.

All I can say man, is that time will tell. @Lämmchen might be waiting awhile for an answer from the "andrew" outlook account, but the "mcdonald" outlook account will take her straight to me. I don't know what else I can do to prove I am who I say I am. My Confirmation verse is John 15:5. My honor will speak for me in the posts to come, God willing.

We had temporarily disabled our Contact Us due to too much spamming going on but our Facebook page is always up so it's okay to contact us through there...especially if the member is following the site. That makes it easier to verify.
