Real names?

[Booth]

"this is a ministry, and those of us who are serious here know who we are and we know each others names, even if we choose not to make them public."

Alright, you know each other's names and I'm not allowed to? A strange ministry it is. Serving through the Internet and afraid of the Internet.

Hello SparedByMercy, I understand what your saying, But like it or not, there are wolvs on the prowel in all sections of the internet. Putting up your real name age and other info can lead to Identy theft and spam most folks don't want. I know because I have been there and have had to change internet service because of spam from xxx sites. I don't look at these sites, don't like them and I defentaly don't want to open my e-mail and see them there. so I keep a low profile. If you post you name and age, where your from. that is enough for someone to find everything they want to know about you. There are software programs that can be purchased that will help you find just about anything one wants to know about someone. It might be a good idea for you to do a google search on protecting your Identy and learn some do's and don'ts on protecting your Identy. Booth is my last name.

1Pe_5:8-9 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

I've been on this forum for almost a month and I may have missed an explanation. But why don't you guys want to fill in your name and location and age in your profiles?

The Internet is the perfect place to bring harm and get away with it or to remain anonimous and act like you're asking for help. But if we don't say our names and make unspoken prayer requests or tell just half of our problem, how do we expect to be helped?

Its called privacy. Too much information is retrievable by a google search.

Yeah, the Lord knows, but we here are people. When I sit and talk to someone I normally know their name.

If we keep discussing things without telling each other names we are really just throwing words into the empty space. Talking to ghosts. Having fun disguising ourselves when the kingdom of God is not about fun but about communion.

We are not children of the light if we remain hidden.

I don't know you from Adam. I don't know anything about rusty or any other person here.

I worked in the Internet industry since 1980's, and i'll tell ya, Its not that hard to find wher eyou live, your SS number, your Bank accounts, property you own, everything about you with just a name and location!

In fact, with JUST a name and location, I can do a database check and pull up all kinds of information on you.

SO yeah I use a alias. Its called common sense. No i don't trust anyone on the net! Ever, doesn't matter if their christian or not.

It seems rather futile to continue to answer SparedByMercy, since she said she was never coming back. As far as I know, she has not.

SparedByMercy, if you read this, please don't be offended. We care for the protection of everyone here at Worthyboards. Including you.
