A recent study showed that charmin users were 5 times more likely to put marbles in their medicine cabinet than single ply users.

....they were also shown to be anonymous forum members with their next door neighbors photo as avies.

Rev 19:12
His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.

John 3
[SUP]29 [/SUP]The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. [SUP]30 [/SUP]He must become greater; I must become less.”[SUP][a][/SUP]

[SUP]31 [/SUP]The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.


Rev 2:17
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

There are 5 people in the U.S. named ***

More than I thought there would be to be honest.
I never ran my real name on that site because I think you can get an idea of how common your real name is (in general) just from being around. Yours might be more uncommon (obviously) I know mine and my husband's (his moreso) is pretty much in the John Smith category.

And that had also become problematic a couple of times with credit reporting (and their laziness) in not using the socials for the report (but had leaned on the address) and that would have been a 50/50 guess since two had lived at that address, he was a junior and his dad a senior (the two sharing the same name).

That was a pain.

I like,

To become less does not mean to become anonymous. A new name does not mean the one you have now is to be hidden. God's name is above all names, doesn't mean you are to dissociate your name with Jesus Christ in public places.

I haven't reread the thread from before, but I think I remember asking if you'd give the same advice to children and teens on this forum as well. There are a lot of them here. Would you?

Yep!!!!!!..................Teens yes. If they have a facebook it should be with their real names so they can't bully their peers and get away with it.

You can take other names for yourself, for a name describes your changed life.

Proverbs 12:23

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

For anyone who needs me to say, my real first name is Thomas. In my profile in this website my name is shown as "Th0mas" partly because it wouldn't allow me to have Thomas as my name in my profile.

Can Christians Be Anonymous
Although I believe Christians can be anonymous according to Hebrew 11. Nicodemus had no problem facing those he once stood with. He defended the faith of Christ which at one time he tried to make to no effect.

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? Joh 7:46

If there is a need to ask, did you think I was foolish to reveal my first name ? I wasn't foolish to do that.

It doesn't matter if there is a zero in your name. We see your name is Thomas. But it's not your full name so you could never be identified. Nobody knows who you are.
