Is Facebook a blessing to the Church or a curse?
 
Has Facebook become a tool to proselytize without calling it that?

The Church of Me!

What do you think?

Some seem to blatantly use it, while others seem more subtle...

I heard a report the other day that FB has excellent facial recognition and that the FBI uses FB more than their own files.

I've noticed that some church people on FB don't seem to want to actually talk to me. They seem more like they wanted to friend me so they can post at me. LOL!

Most use it for passive drive by evangelism.

FB makes gossip so much easier.

The telephone makes it just as easy. :)

"Brother, I have a 'prayer request' to share with you..."

Gossip!

I am not sure if FB has any impact on the church. I have never seen any prosletyzing on FB but then maybe it is something done in conservative OP circles that I am not in.

On the other hand I think the internet has been a great blessing for the church. Without spending hardly any money at all a church can present to anybody searching a wealth of information and ministry that just a few years ago would have cost thousands upon thousands of dollars in printing cost, radio or tv airtime, etc, etc.
