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.

Re: If the Veil were to be Lifted...
I don't like having my name attached to much of anything on the internet. But especially since many of my views are controversial and not just to apostolics. I would hate something I say come back one day and keep me from a job or something like that. So I prefer not to have my name and thoughts etched in cyberstone forever.

hmm....good thing the apostle Paul didn't feel that way.....no internet then but seems like he was at least etched in stone forever.

Paul was an apostle.
jfrog is not.
Paul's words, of necessity, needed to be recorded as instruction for others to read.
Jfrog's do not.
Paul was eventually killed for his words.
Due to his anonymity, jfrog will not.

Matthew 10:39
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it
This same idea is found in several more scriptures...I'm not saying anyone should die but the mention of Paul's death weakens your point..Paul himself said he was now ready to be offered..
Jfrog is not Apostolic? Hmmm.....thought he was. Sorry my mistake.....
