Our policy on avatars
We believe that our comminity works better when everybody uses real pictures of themselves as their avatars.
However, due to the sudden onset of tyranny in the United States, we understand if some don't feel confortable posting pictures that will make FEMA's job easier when they try to round us up and put us in their FEMA death-camps. (Yes there are FEMA death camps. No, you can't find them on google-earth, because of google's liberal bias) Thus we will tolerate a few avatars that are not literally photos of True Christians, but we do ask that you choose pictures of people that at least look like you, or can in some way represent you. It is very disturbing to go to other forums, where people regularly converse with cartoon characters, kittens, sunsets, symbols, and video game icons. It is likely to bring about LSD flashbacks for those of us who survived the 1960s, when hippies regularily put LSD into water supplies. No, my friends, the only things True Christians talk to are Humans, talking snakes, burning bushes, and fig trees that deserve cursing. If you don't use your actual photo for your avatar, please say so here, and explain who your avatar is and why you chose them to represent you. |
Re: Our policy on avatars
Thanks, Jeb, I've seen some pretty wacky avatars, and sometimes I get disturbed. I think that's the intention. It would be nice if people used their real names, too, and not junk like TwistedvampierXXX9321.

Re: Our policy on avatars
I don't know why anyone would not use their real picture for an avatar. I am so filled with God's Love, I want everyone to see it in my eyes.
PRAISE! |
Re: Our policy on avatars
There is only one Ezekiel Bathfire on God's Earth. There would be little point in trying to disguise myself for security purposes, especially when The Lord watches over me.

Re: Our policy on avatars
That's crazy! Who in their right mind would waste time on a computer pretending to be someone they are not. It's down right creepy if you ask me.

Re: Our policy on avatars
Well, I have to admit that my picture was taken many moons ago. I don't look as sharp today - there's a bit more "gray" around the edges :blush: - but still sharp enough. :thumbsup:

Re: Our policy on avatars
I think a sure sign of a snoopy sneak-thief atheist is when they refuse to show their FACE to God and his favorite churchgoers. My own photo was taken at my husband's funeral about a year ago. That's why I look so sad and lost.
I do understand that some of our Menfolk have gone through great ravages while fighting a lifetime in Christ's War, and bear the scars today. So if they choose to use a picture of an ancestor or something, of course I accept that without judgment. I find the so-called "Wii" avatars especially scary....God did not make Man in a computerized image. |

Re: Our policy on avatars
I'll admit, these years of hard work have not been gentle to me, but at least I have the courage to show my face, with all its flaws and lifelines, as I attest to the glory of the LORD. All those years driving an open-air tractor without sunscreen didn't do me any favors, that's for sure.

Re: Our policy on avatars
Everyone knows me. My avatar is the same photograph they use for all Landover publications. For anyone interested, my bio can be viewed HERE.
It's just me, your humble True Christian™ Pastor. |
Re: Our policy on avatars
Of course I use my own photo. You'll see it follow me around the Internet as well.
What's that? You can't recognize my face from it? Well, if you'd dealt with the online stalkers I've had to put up with, you'd want just a shade of privacy as well. |
Re: Our policy on avatars
When I first joined I was so full of zeal to show my conversion from bead jiggling I had this http://www.landoverbaptist.net/custo...pic36109_1.gif as my avatar but I quickly realised that people want to connect with the actual person behind God's love.

On other forums, it's like totalllllllllly confusing when you're like talking with somebody and you're trying to picture what they look like and everything, and their avatar is the three eyed fish from the Simpsons!:( So anyways, this is really me in my avatar. I wish :wub:JESUS:wub: had made me cuter, like Miss April or Felicity, but He did let me be a True Christian™, and that's pretty cool!:yes: :praise: Tammi :innocent3: |

As far as my avatar is concerned, it's the pic from my Landover AirJesus ID badge. I think I look pretty good, right? I'm no Tom Selleck or anything, but I'm not the ugliest guy on the block either. I'm just as God made me, so there! |
Re: Our policy on avatars
Aaron wanted me to post here and say that I wouldn't ever post a picture that wasn't me, and I don't wear make up, because I'm not some slutty street whore trying to make a buck. Besides, I'm already married and Aaron knows what I look like at my worst, so there's no point in pretending I'm not ugly.

I like to use my real face so people know they are talking to a real person, not some computer "bot" set up to answer any post with one of a number of possible comments. This photo was taking outside the church kitchen where we had helped cleaned up after one of the teen "lock-downs." I was so excited to know young people had given their lives to Christ that night! I just can't keep the excitement to myself! I LOVE JESUS! |

Re: Our policy on avatars
My portrait was taken the day I became an Amway Independent Business Owner. Confident and motivated in my brand new business suit (wrinkle-free rayon blend), you can see just how happy I was that special day. Other than when I decided to no longer be a homosexual, this was the proudest moment of my life, praise God!

You have never seen the Fremont Twins. They are ugly. Though being conjoined face to anus is not pretty no matter how you think about it. You just do not know where one part ends and the other part begins. :blech: |
Re: Our policy on avatars
My avatar was taken the day I got the Kenworth - 'Ole Blue Ox'. I was nearly as proud as the day my son told me he was ready to be Baptized after being washed in lambs blood of his sins.

Re: Our policy on avatars
I can be seen in my classic portrait pose or here I am in another shot.http://www.landoverbaptist.net/custo...epic3914_4.gif

Re: Our policy on avatars
The sun shone. A young woman was walking in the park. Suddenly a vile harpy screeched down from her crag and hurled the young woman into a lake. She struggled but the harpy was sinewy and strong smelling. The world seemed to fade away, then just before she drowned the harpy was snatched away and the young woman bobbed to the surface gasping,
"Air.. air.." That young woman was not saved. There was something more important to her than Jesus. Air. All she could think of at that moment was air. If you'd asked her when she was Saved she'd have had to think about it do you know anyone like that Mrs Portway. The Christian has been saved from death and torture FOREVER. That is so overwhelming an experience that everything else is in the instant of Salvation reduced to nothing. When drowning the young Christian woman has only one thought: Jesus. Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. |

Re: Our policy on avatars
I Peter 2:9 But yee are a chosen generation, a royall Priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that yee should shewe forth the praises of him, who hath called you out of darknes into his marueilous light:Salvation is about being chosen. The moment of conversion is a spectacular transition from cloying darkness into magnificent light. The converted seek only to praise Him. Psalm 9:2 I will bee glad and reioyce in thee: I will sing prayse to thy name, O thou most High.Not everyone has been chosen: Matthew 22:14 and we know we've been Saved when we see God's Perfect Love in everything we do. I find that so exciting I want to shout it to the highest mountains! How forlorn the heathen. Unconverted, wallowing in darkness, as good as dead. God explains why it is so: Psalm 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.That is reflected in their choice of avatar. I know this isn't about goths but the way they elect to represent themselves is a good example. They have not been chosen. At the other end of the spectrum there are Christian posters such as Mr Deaner whose choices depict the joy and vitality we know in Him. I'm sure neither of us intend any sort of LSD flashback or other demonic episode from our submissions. |

I am sorry I look the way I do, and I thank you all so much for letting me take part in this Godly forum, as I cannot go into the church because children do not need to see such things, and I am a bastard, and I only have one testicle. Deuteronomy 23:1-2~ He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord. A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord. I picked this picture because this is the only doggy that I have met that hasn't bitten me and that makes me happy that I was not bitten that day, that was a wonderful day, Praise God! |
Re: Our policy on avatars
I didn't want to use my real picture but my idiot son who set up this account for me did it anyway. Now I get recognized all the time which is very annoying.

Re: Our policy on avatars
I love showing off my True American© face to everyone. My gene pool is certainly one consisting only of the Caucasian upper class, which has remained uncontaminated by ethnics from Jesus to my father to the good looking young buck you see in front of you today.

Re: Our policy on avatars
My avatar is a dog that died. It was my fault. See, I used to be a hot mess girl, hanging out in the clubs drinking Bacardi. I was a sick pervert too, abusing my body with all kinds of "devices" like dildos and cellphones.
Well, one time I woke up in my bed, covered in vomit and other stuff I don't want to mention. When tried to stand up, I had a pain inside me. I felt down there and discovered a huge dildo. I pulled it out and threw it out my bedroom window. Well, that poor dog ran up to and bit that dildo. Right away, he started throwing up. He just kept barfing and barfing, then he died. I keep him as my avatar to remind me of what a bad person I used to be. |
