The title explains the whole meaning of this thread, but anyhow - why did you choose your username?

J. Damascene

John of Damascus, who argued for the use of icons in worship. I'd learned about him a few days before I signed up, so I just went with it.

NearertoGod

Nice! It's really different.

Mine?

It really has a number of meanings, such as:

God is Near
*(current name) Nearer to God
Just "Near"
For short, NTG

Who am I

Who am I?

Without God… I am nothing.

AMEN!
I noticed if you switch it around, you get "I am Who I am" ^^

Sorry, but I don't get it. Is it a joke about John of Damascus? What's "the use of icons in worship?" The only icons I know about are And, why is your name "Damascene instead of scus? I know, I'm blond!

The very first time I logged into a forum, and was asked to provide a user name, I was such a total newbie, that I didn't even know what a user name was. So, I just plugged in "Handy" because the "Handy Book of Science Facts" happened to be sitting on my desk at the time.

Not really very spiritual. I've thought of changing it to something more 'godly' but in the 5 years I've been fellowshipping in forums, it's stuck. I think if I tried logging on with a different username, I'd forget and not respond to any of my posts.

SweetSurrender

used to be my handle, until I surrendered my life completely to God because of this forum someone led me to. Then I asked Jeff to change it to SweetSurrender because - well it was soooo sweet.
