Subject: Should we use Religious titles here? |
Bible Note: John Reformed:-) Thank you for your response. I think that on the Forun we EARN respect, not push respect from others by chursh titles we have or earned in seminary or whatever. I have a problem calling some one pastor, Elder, Deacon, or Dr. when that person is neither to me. I have noticed that in one situation this first time person came into the Forum they signed in by a title that was attemptingto demand respect. I started out by using the sign in name of "farout". I picked up that it was hinting my theology was farout. I sent a note to Lockman asking to change to "justme". After I was told ok I posted a note on the Forum saying I had changed names. I f justme was a problem I would make a change also. I suppose if I had a better name it would "overcomer". I brought the question up because we have a number of "pastor" such and such, and Elder. Titles do not impress me much here. As hank wrote me and said with all the titles maybe we should address hank, as Dr. Hank Phd. Titles that are forced are done so for a reason. With respect and kindness for those who are just as Godly as any titled here within, should I write Rev. EdB, or Dr, John Reformed (Lumpy)? I am not trying to be mean or unkind just trying to respond in an equal basis for all. Names are a way of keeping our idenity to ourself. Do you remember RAVEN? When asked or told tp leave she came back as NEVAR. I was not to swift to catch it and responded to NEVAR. Hank wrote and told me. I felt so foolish. So even though I use Justme, I could tack on an (earned) titleas many could as well. But I would feel very uncomfortable doing so. In no way was I attempting to belittle a persons way od identifing thenselves outside the Forum, I hope I have not offended you, or anyone else. I highly respect you (aka Lumpy) or what ever you want to callyourself by. Blessings. justme |
