If the Veil were to be Lifted...
What would you do if...
we were all required to post using our real names?
Would you change the way you post?
Would you stop posting?

Nah, anyone who goes to the AFF facebook page knows who I am. Its no biggie.
But I do respect those who wish to keep themselves Anonymous. Everyone is in a different position and place in their life.

Re: If the Veil were to be Lifted...
A couple of years ago I might have cared, but I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin now. Most people can find me on fb anyway, if they care to put in the effort.

My own integrity holds me accountable. Sometimes anonymity allows for greater honesty, not less. I've seen more people grandstanding on these forums under their real identities than not. I'm sure that's due, in no small part, to their cognizance of who's watching and reading.

Forums are supposed to be about differing stances and the discussions of them....everyone thinks their stance is correct or they wouldn't take it....why not attach your name to it?

Because some are still preachers and saints in apostolic denominal churches who would suffer shunning or rumor while they were discussing and learning with us on here.
Between the various threads ive seen you post you come across as a forum troll.

My name is attached to my posts on another forum, and I'm on fb. I've had this moniker here for a long time, and I like it, but most people know who I am anyway. Or, like I said, they can find out pretty easily.
I wouldn't mind so much now, but in the beginning, I was thinking that I didn't want to embarrass my pastor or my parents with controversial thoughts or beliefs. I see anonymous discussions as a way to explore things otherwise taboo, at least in some circles. It's not always about attaching my name to my views--sometimes I discuss things so I can hash it out in my own mind. I don't always want everyone I know to know what it is, in particular, that I'm currently hashing out. Capiche?
The people who love me don't care (what ideas I might come up with)--but let's face it--not everyone loves me. 
Anyone who has been around Pentecost for any amount of time knows that voicing some opinions or questions immediately gets you labeled by some as rebellious or a trouble maker. That's just a fact, no matter how innocent or well-intentioned the question.
