Back on the old board it was tradition that on Halloween and April Fools day, people who felt comfortable doing so, would change their profile picture to their real photo. So, to go along with these traditions, here is my real face.
So as an invite to everyone else, for April Fools day, if you feel up for it, post what you really look like.
Remember, this is only if you feel safe and comfortable sharing your likeness. If you don't feel fully comfortable with it, do not feel you have to do it, or you can get creative like showing only a part of you. I remember in the past one person was only comfortable showing his hand.

You look great! Who's the guy in the hat and boots? 
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

I moved to Support for “better visibility”.

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

No idea who that alpha-hotel is. He just jumped on and started kicking.

Be careful though - I got burned one time during Unmasking, there were people monitoring this Board I didn't think would, and I had to "come out" to a family member before I was really ready to. Don't do it if there is anyone in your life you are uncomfortable about knowing you participate here. Only do it if you are truly ready to let everyone in your life know how you stand with the Church.

This was a trip to the Sierras with two other NOMies last summer.

I don't have my avatar pic saved on this computer and I'm afraid I'll lose it if I replace it.

Re: April Fools Day Unmasking
Like others said, it's fun to see some of your faces.
Yes, this is really me, a few months shy of my fifth birthday. I'm not ready to fully dox myself because of my still-believing wife, so a photo that's 100 years old will have to do.

Re: April Fools Day Unmasking
It was kind of refreshing having my face out there. See you on Halloween!
