Is there anyone else here who is NOT on facebook?

I believe I may well be the last person on the planet who is online, but not on facebook.

I have been online since before there was an 'online' (dial in BBS)... but can not warm up to the blog/selfbook/mespace trend.

Ame I really alone>?

Yes. And now that you've confessed your sin, you will be banned from this board as well.

You must give me a little time to contrive a clever parting shot... But, while you wait please ponder that I refuse to text message as well.!.

I also have not warmed to facebook, in spite of pressure from family members and friends, nor any of those social sites. I believe I once registered at one of them (myspace?) while following a link and have since received all kinds of PMs and inquiries, often quite personal.

Gives me the willies.

I am failing miserably to adapt to modern society

No,no... look. We have to spirtualize this so we can claim moral superiority. I think that is how this works anyway.

Oh, well, in that case there is HOPE

I love Facebook! I can drop a quick line to anyone I know and that includes people I have not seen in years, nor will I perhaps ever see again!

It is a valuable tool for keeping up with people--if one cares for them enough! It is also a valuable tool to witness of God's goodness--with status comments that we update whenever we want, people who don't know God and who are connected to us can read quickly what God is doing and how we praise and worship Him!

Maybe so, but it is worth the cost to maintain the spiritual high ground.

It's got it's good things. The nice thing is that you can make it as private as you want. Like no one can find you unless you let them pretty much.

Amos, I'm sorry to say that I succumbed and am now on Facebook. Like here, I'm a rookie, and have not learnt the ins and outs as of yet. I do get to keep in touch with family more there than through phone calls and visits. As of the other social sites, I'm not going to go there, I like my privacy and quality of life.

You are not alone. No Facebook, AIM, MSN, Twitter, MySapce, Skype, MixIt, voice mail, smoke signals or jungle drums.

Fun with quotes;

There is still hope!!!;

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
