It's mostly fun, for me. I've learned to gloss over the obvious trash, and look for the gems. George Takei is the kind of the internet! (Most of you would probably have a problem with half of what he posts, but, well, to each his own. )
But a few weeks ago, I posted something like I might put on Timmy Talk. It was a TIC request for help to make a new religion, and I started it off with some of the "rules". Like "we will tell you what to believe", and "what we tell you doesn't have to make sense", that sort of thing. Well, some of my friends took issue with it. Imagine that! It got depressing, so I deleted it.

Your'e a hoot! They should put you on acquaintance and then they don't have to read your posts every day. LOL!
Oh, and this was fun: I shared someone's pic that said something like October had 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays, and 5 Mondays, and this happens only once every 800+ years, and if you repost within 10 minutes, money will come to you within 4 days.
I did. (Added "Can't wait!" as my comment. )
And it worked! Couple days later, the wife gave me $10 for the snack bar at a play. Yay!

LOL! I had someone share pics from another person's account of whom I was not on their friends list and had no intention of being nosy enough to be on their friends' list. That means the person sending me the pics was also never going to be on my friend's list. Did that make sense? LOL!

Facebook is a place where backsliders and cold saints get together. People whose fellowship would normally be limited due to separation from the world. How many adulteress affairs are started on Facebook? If you have it ,everything you post should be open for everyone to see!
Are you really that stupid? No, don't answer that.
I kind of like FB... Most of my hundred plus friends are from my former church(es), coworkers, or farmers like me, with a sprinkling of people from my past.
I have over time, deleted all the 'we had great chruch last night' folks, the super political folks, the Mormon farmer lady who posts about how all women should have all the children they can so that the waiting souls don't have to go to the wicked, the woman who constantly reposts from the 'classy ladies who curse alot' page... oh and people who post a status update everytime they go to the bathroom.
Now it's just mostly friendly updates, quick questions for farm/gardening advice, sharing prayer requests, etc. It's what I do from my phone while wating for an oil change or doctors appointment or other slow boring times. That puts me on FB about twice a week on average I guess.
I think it's like everything else... properly used it's a great tool... poorly used it can wreck your life.

I was flipping through a magazine and read where Scarlett Johansson was saying, referencing FB, that she didn't understand this enormous need for sharing. I agree!
It probably started with the Diary, which ended up becoming something sounding a bit more professional - Journaling.
It's interesting that journal, from the late Middle English, originally meant a book listing the times of daily prayers.
