Just wondering is this something that was mentioned from the pulpit, with a certain someone in mind?

nw says texting during a service isnt ok ? so i suppose its not as bad if you say something to the person sitting next to you ? and dont tell me you havent done that, everyone has, its the same thing. the only people that are upset with texting are mad because they dont know when your doing it, some including myself can text without looking .some of the kids can do it with their hand in pocketbook or their pocket.

'scuse me but I gotta ask you OR anyone happenin to read this I have an inquiry:
WHAT is so GREAT about texting that thats all we hear about nowadays?
Geesh, you'd think TYPING was just invented, or somethin. *shrug*

Maybe 'cause its typing by CELLphone, is that it? OR could it be
the CELLphone itself
or what?

Call me dingy, but I just don't "get it" (this fascination with 'texting' that
the whole world seems to be so ga-ga over)

Maybe I'm just too old.

I'm still not yet done with being fascinated with word processors, and right
before that the IBM Selectric typewriters, now THERE was something to jump about!! LOL!

Instant communication, any minute, any time. Connected with as many people as you want to be, all at once, yet no one needs to know who all else you are talking to at the same time. And the feeling that you're someone, because there is always someone texting you or whom you can text. I don't know if that's the whole fascination, but it is part of it for some people at least. Younger people I don't know about. Older people who get caught up in it... well, what if your boss called you in to talk to you and then, while you sat waiting for him, he sat across the desk and texted and laughed to himself or his secretary about incoming messages, then looked up dazed and said, "oh, uh, yes?" as though he forgot he had called you in? It happens. It'ss very rude, when that happens, to say the least. Unprofessional... well, won't go there.

Why text in church?

(And please don't text and drive.)

Bottom line, the HG was given to lead and guide into all truth. Let it lead me, let it lead me, let it lead me!

Let it lead you, and you, and you and you! But because we aren't at the same place gives me no right to judge you.

I vote this statement (I bolded) as MY choice for most
Judgmental ..without Judging!

*clap, clap to infinity*

It was also a runnerup for most INTELLIGENT!

That 'thought' gives me incentive to THINK some more, lol
I've often thought similarly but hadn't the prompting to state it so
succintly., it should actually be a "slogan", FOR THE CHURCH!

Texting in service is increasingly acceptable. It lacks some etiquette, but everyone does it lol It's hard to know what people are doing on their phones: taking notes, reading their Bible or sending a FB friend request.

Very true, and very sad. Not that people are texting in church... but God is our Father, our friend... how would you feel if your fiance grabbed the cell and started texting just as you were going to kiss him/her? I wonder how often God may feel the same way?

But maybe we're all going to get to a point where we'd be ok with that... and maybe God is too...

(but maybe not)
