People think I'm a guy all the time too. :noidea:

Me too!

As for changing identity.....I tend to use a nickname online rather than my real name, purely for safety reasons.

I think there is much to benefit from being anonymous online. There are some things that we just don't talk about face to face at church, and the online anominity allows me to ask questions and for prayer about those things.
I did it since I've been here but it was only because I just didn't LIKE my screen name and people always thought I was a man. I had to have a mod change it though. Worthy keeps a history of names used here by each member so, in that respect, there's no deception. On the other hand, most of us are using screen names because it just isn't a good idea to put your real name, address or whatever out there.

:thumbsup: You go GIRLS! :24:

And MG - people still think I'm a guy. ;) I don't even talk like a guy. I don't think :thumbsup:

You don't sound like a guy to me. :emot-hug:

We no longer allow name changes unless there is a valid reason behind it. It's too hard too keep up with and can cause problems.

Wow, I'm glad I changed my handle when I did then! Just so you know...you don't come across as a man; to me anyway. :24:

Wow... shows ya how sensitive I am..

I usually do not "hear" girl or boy in posts unless the subject is gender specific ..

Like.." All the men got together and we had a great time." ;)

Traveller..until I started talking to you I always wondered with every post whether you were a girl or a guy..

Sorry... :24:

But now I know... :thumbsup:

:emot-hug:

I am sometimes concerned about security but there is no information shared here that would be something to worry about I don't think..is there???

I have only thought about changing my name a couple of times as my most common on line name is not tah ..

but decided it really did not matter .. I am who I am , whatever name I use ... :thumbsup:

Sorry... :rolleyes:

But now I know... :amen:

:laugh: not a problem tah - :laugh:

"traveller" is pretty non-specific.

As far as my posts, as long as you weren't thinkin "idiot" then I'm fine with it. :24:

:cool: You're a blessing, tah.

I had my location-country in my profile at one stage. Then I said something about Islam which I realized afterward might put my health at risk with the many Muslims in my city :cool:, so I decided I better stay anonymous.

But my fellow-countrymen here at Worthy know which country I'm from, and they could always pm me to find out where I live if they wanted to . I wouldn't just trust a "newbie" at Worthy immediately, though - but eventually one gets to know which "newbies" are truly Christians and which aren't.

I think it's just safer to stay anonymous because we don't always know who's reading Worthy Forums - and if ya ask me, these Forums get "watched" by all sorts of "interest groups".

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
