Special Assembly day (SAD) bethel speaker ( a very good speaker I might add) in his talk " Follow your Spirit-Directed Conscience gave example of and elder and his family. He noticed his wife and daughter spending a lot of time morning noon and night on Facebook, it almost seemed like that is all they did, so as a spiritual head decided to see what they were constantly looking at, "let me see what you are spending so much time looking at on facebook said the elder"
The wife explained this is how we keep in contact with the "friends", elder started to look at her page and she was correct, there he found friends in the cong. And other places......but he noticed "they don't really TALK like witnesses it seems they are hiding that to some degree.
Elder decided to have a family discussion during family worship night, and after discussing this, the wife anddaughter came to the conclusion to cut their facebook accounts. (nice play on who decided)
Bethel speaker.. " Now that was their decision for them, we are not saying (hint,hint,wink,wink) that this is what you should do.
Are you kidding why even give this example if not to "suggest" that is exactly what we want you to do. But you decide okay.
Man these guys are very methodical, but my wife ain't having none of that we have family all over the country and facebook is a great way to stay in contact. Anything can take to much of your time if you are not careful, they just want to control your time and what you use the enternet for.
I wonder how many got the message and dropped their facebook accounts?
