Why I Deleted My Facebook Account

While I don't try to tell you facebook is bad, we all have to own up to what our own convictions are.
Romans 12:2 (NIV)
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Facebook is overrated.

[soul2707]

amen. yes i agree 100 percent. its really sad that no one can even pick up the phone anymore to give someone a call. thats practically unheard of. and when it gets like this, thats really really bad.im tired of fake realtionships all together, i think if someone really cares about u even from a long distance they can still find other means to really know u and not rely on some applications form the internet to replace real communication. GOD made us personal people not impersonal. GBU all.

The Internet and sites that utilize it are merely tools. To blame the tool for our own actions and judgements is the mark of immaturity. She was strong enough to realize that the tool was not right for the life she wanted to lead and stopped utilizing it. She at no time blamed Facebook itself for her own choices and judgements and I respect her for that. I also happen to feel she did the right thing. I have followed suit and my account is deactivated as of today. And good riddance.

she right. the internet can be a good thing. but also it can be a evil thing.

I tossed mine because its ultimately pointless applying hind sight to the prior dated mediums. Being able to rip gps locations of photos uploaded to it really sealed the deal for me.
