    (as though anybody wants them).

    You're just jealous because they didn't let you run a microphone or count meeting attendees.

    This is strictly a set of power-happy, maybe misguided(if you are feeling generous) local body of elders. I was in the recent KM school, when a brother from the Service Dept specifically said, "we are NOT saying don't have social networking accounts, etc....we are just saying be careful."

    Sorry, I must be reading the wrong Bible. Can you show me that in yours? What is that, Third Corinthians? Fourth Timothy?

    It's in one of the new scrolls.

    Jaracz 3:23

    Thou shalt not become involved with the alien residents of the wicked world by way of electronic social networking. It is something detestable to the Governing Body, representative of the Slave who speaks for Christ. One continuing association with the world through Satan's evil Facebook shall be cut off from the people and osctracized for their wrongdoing.

    Of course, undercover. What the heck was I thinking? Hopefully more verses from this particular book will be revealed. Progressively.

    Saint Ted didn't name MySpace directly but he did talk about people who mostly use MySpace...

    Jaracz 3:35

    Thou shall not form any bands, rock-n-roll, disco, hip-hop, rap or even country in order that it does not detract from your service to the publishing lord. Music is a blessing from Jehovah but only the music prepared and blessed through his earthly servant. Play these melodies to make a joyful noise and remove yourself from the worldly drum beats that initiate fornication. Avoid contact with those that publish or network their bands by satanic electronic means. Networking on-line is the same as associating with the sinful leaders of debasing music. Remove the wicked from among your music collection and your on-line contact list.

    I'd like to see the context of that verse. I can totally see a tan paperback cover for "The Book of Jaracz". It's getting interesting here...I'm bubbling over with laughter.

    What's funny is about 3 years ago, the website Ringo became popular in Mississippi. It was a photo sharing site, that allowed comments on photos. Very simple. The hardcore witnesses joined up in droves and were all over it. It was like the alternative to myspace and it was "okay". Then a SAD speaker mentioned it in his talk. It broke their hearts. They all went home and deleted their accounts.

    LOL
