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?

Re: If the Veil were to be Lifted...
When I joined one of the predecessors of AFF we were asked for a name to be used on this forum. I used Sam because it is a nickname my wife uses for me.
I also often show my real name along with Sam.
I have nothing to hide.
It would be fine for people who know me to see what I write here even though many never will look here for me.
I also can see why some are hesitant to divulge their true identity and that is fine with me. If anyone on here does not want people to know who they are for whatever reason, I have no problem with that. I think we should continue to allow that option.

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.
