No I am not. Facebook to me turns out to be a vehicle for self worship, putting self first. It is used in a fashion that becomes "all about me" and telling you about me and more about me. It then leads to ridicule of others, bullying of others. School personnel now have to be assigned to watch facebook postings, as well as tweats, to try to get ahead of all sorts of vile attempts to do harm by kids one to another. Employers also need to have people assigned to watch accounts to protect their businesses. Police departments the same. Facebook is an encourager of all that is vile, it is the tongue of evil heart, and it becomes a near permanent record, never to be blotted out. It is used by the accuser today , and perhaps will be part of some individuals record of life to face before God at the judgement sessions of all of humanity. The time stolen by employees from their employers by unauthorized use of facebook is to me astounding. I see up to three devices being used at the same time by a desk worker one that greets people as they come into a church office. All three, the cellphone, the Ipad tablet, and the office computer, are setup and locked onto various facebook images flashing about, each with family members on their own devices sharing back, evidently no one working anywhere within that family as they chatter on about themselves to each other. It is all very weird to me, this fascination with self. Edited June 14, 2018 by Neighbor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every employer/boss, and even fellow coworker can manipulate most every other employee by gaining the knowledge of what has been made a record of their lifestyle.

If your the kind of Christian who will say bluntly that homosexuality is an abomination to God and that the other forms of sexual degeneracy like transgenderism and lesbianism is evil or press the point that Jesus is the only way to eternity with God, declaring all other ways deceptions and false. It will not take long for your account to be suspended.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't realized there might be but one kind, saved by the grace and mercy of God alone. Added later - seems to me how one says something is equally important as what is said.

Specifically a person in sin, obvious sin, that projects their sin proudly is not likely to turn about upon being shouted at as being a sinner. They may be and in fact are, but they cannot hear, nor heed the warning without the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. I do like the model of Paul's presentation at the Areopagus Acts 17:22-34 Edited June 14, 2018 by Neighbor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the subject, telling all about me, and how it is told, seems to be harmfull to many. And so I do not participate. But then I am an old geezer too, way past seeking out methods of self promotion.
