One of the reasons I used my name is because people connect better when a person has an actual name.
That's interesting, I always felt the alias names and avatars I picked described me or my current mode way much better than my actual name. And there's so many people with our actual names out there. I mean, let's say per example I'm Mary Somethings. So many people are called Mary - what does it even mean to anybody to say I am Mary, what does it say about me...? Not much really imo. I do see the point with the picture connected with the name I just dont use my photos for privacy's sake. I've actually encountered stalkers online before and let's just say it's pretty messed up. (I'm not trying to contradict you, just thought you had an interesting point of view)

P.S. I'm tired to explain my user now so I guess another day :)

This?....I agree.:D
It can get weird talking to avatars of puppies juggling knives.
Or calling someone 1452_Jon1ICYMAN?

IDK, touchy subject I guess?
Just ask one weaver of souls.:D

BTW, I'm Mikey.
Did we just connect a little "better"?:D

I'm a soul that weaves, not a weaver of souls.
Now that's called reading into the text :p
I give you a shout out and this....this is how....?
So you weave a soul not hair?
I'm confused.....:p

I guess I have to get into it and explain after all... :)

Exodus 35:10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
Exodus 35:19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
Exodus 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
Exodus 35:35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

Weaving is a symbol of creativity because the same as you interlace threads to create a cloth, you interlace tones (horizontally, melodies and vertically, chords) to create a musical piece or stringed words (horizontally, sentences and vertically, leitmotifs or symbols which connect different images or chapters) to create a story. So in art, you interlace components to create various patterns and complex pieces of work (thus cunning workmen) or use numerous small pieces to make a big picture, such as a woven tapestry would be.

I have strong leading to make "cloths of service" in God's temple (worship music and written art). So I am a weaver. I like art and enjoy making things. Now why soul, because art, like prayer, is pouring out of the soul; communication. When you create a piece of art as a prayerful expression, you pour your soul out before God (1 Sam 1:15). Thus SoulWeaver.

Sounds cool to me!
Btw, that's why I hate explaining mine, took me some time to word that and a lot of people have asked me so I guess I might just direct them to this post from now on... lol

If I had the chance to change my moniker (temporally) I would use: Soul-meet ( as well as soul-hermit)

I see such silly and interesting usernames on this site, why did you pick yours?
Took me about 5 seconds. Hello I'm Thomas, nice to meet you. :)

Then Thomas (also known as Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples,
"Let us also go, that we may die with him."
(John 11:16 / NIV)

('Didymus' is the latinized version, 'didymos' the original greek one)

Nice to meet you too Thomas, I'm Ronald.

You know, I used to think that if I was one of the disciples that I might be Tomas but now I'm not sure.
