What's the story behind your username?

[JudgeRightly]

I'll start. I started listening to Pastor Enyart's "Bob Enyart Live" show a few years ago, and as I was going through the archive of his shows, I kept hearing that he had made a pamphlet called "Judge Rightly is not some guy's name." As time went on, I learned more about what the Bible says about judging, the Law, and God's expectations for governments to have a proper criminal justice system, so I took on the name "JudgeRightly," both on TOL and elsewhere on the internet. And it's stuck. I doubt I'll ever change it again.

What are the stories behind your username, either here or on other websites or services?

 

[Tambora]

I usually go by the username "Sissy" because that's my name.
But when I joined TOL that username was already taken.
So I used the name of a favorite barrel racing horse I used to have - Tambora.
I asked the person I bought the horse from where the name came from, because I had never heard that name before.
He said it a derivative of a musical term that basically meant "Never misses a beat".

 

[patrick jane]

Everybody knows who patrick jane is :chuckle: - if you don't, he was a TV character that used to be a mentalist at carnivals and fairs. He's kind of like a psychic, though he says there's no such thing. He reads people really well and always outsmarted the criminals. He began working with the CBI California Bureau of Investigation as a "consultant" after his wife and daughter were brutally murdered by a serial killer named Red John. It was my favorite show and was on for about 5 years or so. The name of the show was The Mentalist

 

[steko]

Right at the start of my salvation by the grace of GOD, I had a constant barrage from people of various persuasions who wanted to harness me up with their legalism.
I discovered liberty in Paul's letter to the Galatians and sought refuge there quite regularly..
He told me to stand fast in that liberty.
When I came to TOL I remembered that so I took the name Steko as a constant reminder.


Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

[Rusha]

Rush = One of my favorite bands
a = added to indicate female

 

[CabinetMaker]

Alas, mine is not particularly innovative. I like working with wood and I have a small wood shop that keeps out of trouble and out of my brides hair. Mostly.

Over the years is has come to serve as a pleasant reminder that my Boss is a Jewish carpenter.

I was going to use "Mr. Ed," but some guy named "Wilbur" took it already.

Just admit it, John W, you ain't telling because "words matter".

 

[glorydaz]

I chose my name because I realized I was in the Golden Years, so these are my Days of Glory.

Isn't it strange how that sudden realization takes place?

Every time I blink, it's Thursday again.

 

[heir]

I started out on TOL as BLVR (at the time a lost believer), then judging u (all the while frustrating the grace of God) and finally after being saved it was changed to heir. If I were to change it again, I would like it to be fellowheir.

hehe!
That's a good one!

 

[The Barbarian]

I was, years ago, on a message board with a lot of atheists. One particularly aggressive one told me that I had no idea how "barbaric" Christianity is. So I said "just call me the barbarian, then."

Everyone (except the bumptious atheist) thought it was funny, and the name stuck.

Great background story "sis"

 

[Danoh]

I wanted Dano, but it was supposedly taken, so I added an h - for humor - at the end - to sort of remind me to take all things with a chuckle.

It's stood the test of time, this "chuckle, come what may" :chuckle:
