It is shallow and boring.  My stay lasted about 10 days before I tried to erase all sign of my having ever been there.

Facebook is a highway express for coveting, there is an entire ocean of the tears of broken families that facebook directly shattered. There is nothing worse than a now married person reconnecting with a past lover through social media. Bad things arise when that happens, certain things need to stay buried.  

NEVER look at what past lovers are up to, Satan only needs a narrow seam to get inside of you. Facebook and most of social media are pure evil. Throw it all away, there's a better way to connect with people that doesn't involve going through Satan's personal engine of destruction. Worst of it however is that it makes people so unhappy by constantly putting them in the position to covet, someone goes on facebook to brag and suddenly you realize you're unhappy without the thing they now have. Somebody brags and you feel like a failure, someone brags and suddenly you feel like your partner is failure. It is very true when Jesus said that it's what comes out of a person's mouth that makes them unclean, and pride is the worst sin of them all. Facebook gives these people a podium, in that you can see why the Creature delights in social media. 

Relevant excerpt from a book I have: 

"here is one rule of conversation which should be thoroughly im
pressed on the mind, which is to remember there are two persons of
whom you should never suffer yourself to speak —one is yourself, and
the other your enemy. The reason is evident : you run into two dangers
—egotism and injustice."

to be up front, I would say it is a little of both.....

I would never have stumbled upon Worthy had it not been for Facebook. I dont use it a lot but it is useful to me in many ways. My church live streams all its services on facebook, so if I cant go physically I can still hear the sermon. The debates on there are bad, but honestly, it's no worse than here at times. Its a tool to be used. Any tool is dangerous if it gets abused.

How do you stream services.

I am now reading this thread for entertainment only. As Some of the "fear Facebook" comments  are very entertaining. ?

Thank You! ?

Why does the thread title ask "how many  facebook friends do you have?" Is that important? How? Why?

Good grief.  Families are shattered by people without Facebook every day of the week.  Facebook does not shatter families, the people making bad choices shatter families and they don't need Facebook to do so.

The second paragraph is so off-base that I don't even know how to approach dealing with it.  Facebook is not evil, in and of itself.  It can be used for bad, or for good, or completely indifferent.  As I already pointed out, if you feel that strongly about Facebook being bad you shouldn't even be on the Internet at all.  People can stay friends with ex-partners and not want to get back together with them.  As long as you have the correct mindset, it does not cause a problem to anyone at all.  What you are attempting to do is blame a communication medium for the bad choices of individuals.

Facebook facilitates sin by connecting people who should not be connected, your wife goes on Facebook, see's that Meghan's husband has bought a new house, and then she wonders why you haven't been able to keep up with Meghan's husband, Facebook takes humanities covetous nature and amplifies it by connecting you with people you should not be connecting with, if you want to constantly tempt yourself with that, go right ahead, it is your choice to enter evil's domain, but don't be surprised when you succumb to it after many daily acts of entering that swamp of filth. Satan only needs the smallest spiritual chink in your armor to enter, how big will that chink become after you've made his realm a habit?   

Yes families were broken before Facebook, but Facebook has amplified it, and the Creature rejoices because it knows that making humans covet is how you bring about their discontent, that's why he's trying to destroy borders, the more he connects the world the more he makes humans connect, the more he solidifies his hold through their spiritual malaise. Having the internet and seeing what other people are up two are different things, when you constantly keep yourself informed of what others are up to -- people you would otherwise not know -- you are tempting yourself with covetousness. Doing daily acts of this will will take its toll on your spirit, but once again, if you want to tempt fate, I warn you not to, but it's your choice.  

We don't tempt our eyes with unclean things and Facebook is just as bad as any website that is full of pornography, if pride is in fact the worst sin of them all -- AND IT IS -- then Facebook is much more filthy than even the most degenerate pornography that's out there. We all know what people use Facebook for, it's where they go to boast, to be prideful, to find secret lovers, to unbury the past and an entire panoply of filthy things.

A swamp of filth is precisely what it is.

NO ONE IS HOLDING A GUN TO THEIR HEAD AND FORCING THEM TO LUST, COVET AND BE PRIDEFUL.

You don't see things as they are, Satan most certainly is pointing a spiritual gun to their heads, you don't think that he stalks the earth looking for people to tempt? Satan can't force anyone, but what he can do, is tempt them with lust, covetousness and pride. 

Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “All this I will give You, he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

 

"Away from me, Satan!” Jesus declared. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”…

Do you ever ponder why these companies are created and owned by Godless progressives?
