Unplugging My Personal Computer

I will still post to AFF from work, but I am unpuggling my personal computer and placing it in my closet, for now.


This action is one of the actions I agreed to take with my accountability partner. It is a necessary limit on my personal freedom in an attempt to further establish my personal freedom from sin.


This is not so different from the practice of "standards"-- but I acknowledge that my weakness is not a mandate for all of my Christans brothers and sisters to unplug their personal computers.

Neither will I be offended if you were to have me over for dinner and I saw that you had your very own personal computer.


This is necessary for me and probably not for you-- which is why I'll never be a good legalist.

I'll be around.

So, because you have justified ripping off your employer to post here,
but not on your own time, do you have any objection to us trashing your
posts on the weekend?

(OMG, what is my problem? I pretty much always agree with your posts)

I'm curious if you would have any problem with pork roast,
when you come over for dinner : )

Re: Unplugging My Personal Computer

I saw some tv commercial about unplugging the electronics and getting out to nature, and at the end they said ''for more information go to www,backtonature.com". I thought that was kinda funny.

I think this is cool and I commend you for doing this.

Re: Unplugging My Personal Computer

I can understand Jermyn wanting to stay away from posting on his own time.

Many here take breaks from this forum because sometimes posting here just "does something to ya".
