Recently there was some talk on the forum about anonymity and how it was valued. It reminded of an article I read recently and simply wanted to share. Excerpts follow as well as a link to the article. Stand in His grace, WOS (Jason) “We need accountability. Left to our own devices, we will soon devise or succumb to all kinds of evil. As Christians we know that we need other believers to hold us accountable to the standards of Scripture.” “Life is far too difficult and we are far too sinful to live in solitude.” “Our society values anonymity. There are many who feel that anonymity is a right and one that must be guarded and protected.” “In former days, morality was accountability through visibility. Today many of us prefer to remain invisible and unaccountable.” Quotes from Tim Challies. http://www.ligonier.org/tabletalk/2009/4/1146_Escaping_Anonymity |

Jason, very good read and thanks for pointing. I would like to add another quote from the article as I believe it's a good example of what might be said about forum participation including this one. "I was an invisible Internet user who valued my anonymity and an invisible church-goer who cared little for closer relationships. I wrote often and my articles and reviews were read by many people, but all the while I was safely removed from the people I wrote for and wrote about. I began to see the effect of this in my writing. It became increasingly abrasive and showed a lack of godly character." (Tim Challies) I realize people choose different screen/user names for different reasons that sometimes has nothing to do with the desire to be anonymous. Still, I've wondered why some seem very intentionally anonymous on the forum. Their true identity totally unsearchable here. Jeff |
