Our policy on avatars

Re: Our policy on avatars

It is very disturbing to go to other forums, where people regularly converse with cartoon characters, kittens, sunsets, symbols, and video game icons.

I know, right?

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 JESUS had made me cuter, like Miss April or Felicity, but He did let me be a True Christian™, and that's pretty cool!

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 as my avatar but I quickly realised that people want to connect with the actual person behind God's love.

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

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(tm) Pastor.

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.

Amen, Brother. Your devotion to God and His Church shine through your eyes, making you glorious as your Holy Mission

Who wants a gent who looks like he spent his days at Elizabeth Arden, anyway? You're the REAL THING

Re: 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.

Brother, I am the FEMA assistant communications coordinator for Hawaii. WE will run the camps; and the first one, Landover West, will be a model for generations to come. "Work makes you free!"

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

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 - but still sharp enough.

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

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

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

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.
