I'll be happy to change my mind if you can give me a reason. Thanks for taking the time to reply. You all have a good weekend!

You don't see the value.
Someone else might see the value, and may not be offending God while they are at it.
I teach a study group where everyone has an electronic device of some sort. They have multiple windows open to all sorts of Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Archeological websites, UPCI websites, you name it. Anything I teach they check, they then come up with questions which run from Dan to Beersheba.
Church I don't believe they should be chatting with God knows who, or tweeting away. But if they are using that device to look up verses or Bible, then it works. But I believe in freewill participation, and you don't need to be scanning Facebook to not be with the congregation. It is like a guy falling to sleep in church. He isn't really in church. Yes, he is in a building and in a pew, but he isn't in service. Same with those who are scanning mumbo jumbo when they are using their devices for things other than Church while they are n service.
So, like people falling asleep in church is the joker on snapchat and facebook.
We hopefully, pray that one day they get a revelation and wake up?
Meanwhile we will proceed forward in Jesus name
