The link I gave in THIS thread had ample warning!

So true, so true,

We just had good service tonight,

Lord Bless

Actually, the UPC is all over Facebook, so that point is mute. As for AFF, I like it here!!! And you're right, there are a lot of non-UPC people on here, like Bro. Epley! Whom I appreciate very much despite our differences!

But there is another side....

We had a young guy who posted pics of his drunken b-day party. Kid was our drummer and everyone thought was "living holy." But pics of holding bottles of whiskey and being hung on by girls about half dressed, he was shirltess...needless to say with the judgmental spirit in churches it almost destroyed the kid, he was talked about for weeks, I hated what happened. I would have contained it and handled it private, but he posted the pics and everyone found out. He is going to another apostolic church now and doing better.

We have another teenage girl who posted some sexual type pics and was talking about boys had comments like, "u ho" and "OMG he's so hot", "I would do him" Her mother had no idea. She was a perfect angel in her eyes.

I have a facebook/myspace pg. and there is nothing there to hide. I really don't care who views.

That being said....for an org. to dig into FB and investigate their preachers and prospects....is sick....I would walk away and tell them all where they could stick it.

Employers use it often for screening candidates! It's the new HR craze! If it's not appropriate for you soon-to-be boss to see it, you may not want to post your exhibitionism to the world. And that's just simple common sense... wisdom.

However, that isn't the point. What kind of person takes the time to go through facebook and myspace albums so they can report back to pastors or peers any misdeeds or controversy?

That in and of itself is quite the attitude problem.

The same guys who take a promienet pastor's wife and use her photos to bash him for his liberalism. A low blow!

I think they want to discredit ministers because once discredited that leaves more people turning to them... that's more money in their pockets.

Dont brag about your job or your place of employment, trade skills ie. wage brackets in specific ways, No ones business. its just common sense!

I am a pretty transparent person, but I did have a few second thoughts in the beginning about being facebook friends with people from AFF.

Though I am open on this site about what I do (and don't) believe, I also do my best to follow both the rules of the forum, and my own conscience (when it comes to not knowingly offending others ).

However, my facebook friends are a hodgepodge of friends and family from all different religions / lifestyles. And I made a decision in the beginning that I wasn't going to censor myself there.

Of course, I don't exactly think that anything I said or did on facebook or anywhere else would surprise anyone
