CC usage

How much is too much time spent on CC. I personally am on CC roughly 3 or 4 hours daily as of late. I work part time so this affords me a little more free time. I don't have any friends to do stuff with. I don't go to church because I haven't connected with anyone over the years. So CC offers me friendships, fellowship and fun. What are your thoughts?

I guess the best answer is a question
What do you do when you are NOT on CC?

Mainly:
Spiritual: - Do you spend time with God?
Social: - Do you spend (at last some) time with others?
(Hey, I'm an introvert, but we all need a tiny bit of social interaction IRL)
Physical: - Do you use your body? (ie exercise, go for a walk, have a hobby that isn't sitting still)

What I am getting at is, if you in total spend all your day in front of a computer that is very bad
if CC is just an addition to everything else you do, I'd say it's OK
but you know yourself better than we do, so only you know how much is enough and how much is too much

Perhaps you would connect with others if you *did* go to church. I tend to keep to myself while at church. I go to worship and learn, and not socialize. But over the years I've met quite a few nice people at church. And I think you meet even more people in Sunday school due to the give-and-take classroom atmosphere.

25 hours a day is definitely too much.

I'm logged in nearly continuously, but only spend about 30 minutes a day reading the new posts and checking up on PMs. I used to spend quite a bit more time, but it's tapered off a lot now that I've gotten answers to most of my major questions digging through old threads...and I don't generally have much to say or much to say of any consequence in the active threads.

I guess if you begin thinking you spend too much time here, then you probably do. Good? Bad? Not my call to make.

Toy,

hub and I rejoice with you that you feel that you have found a place where
you feel comfortable and accepted, 'a rare-feeling' these days...
always keep in mind, first-and-foremost', where your heart should abide, and in Whom...

may our Heavenly Father Bless you and yours and your endeavors...

I spend about a quarter of my time awake here and that's a lot especially considering that I never went to church or read the Bible since I went to Christian Academy when I was seven.

I know that some of my posts sound like the ravings of a paranoid schizophrenic but they are true I really am stuck in the country in one room surrounded by nonbelievers so anytime I leave this room people try picking fights with me that's because by being nonbelievers they don't have the protection of God so invisible demons are influencing them.

5 yrs ago before this madness took over my life I use to ride across town and back every day for a total of 30-50 miles a day,I never talked to anyone,that was my way of being part of society,I was watching everyone else live happily and that was enough for me.

I make comments that most people here are uncomfortable with but I'm learning more about Christianity which says that we should help others if we can.

These comments are my way of helping you can call them tough love if you wanted to.

To be honest I'm still very uncomfortable with being on this site because I've avoided people like you along with the nonbelievers,it seems that some that think that they are beleivers really aren't.

In all honesty I spend so much time here because you guy's are the lesser of 2 evils,in this world where most don't try at least you guy's do try or at least want to be decent people.

3-4 hours a day online isnt too bad, considering how much time people spend sitting in front of a screen of some sort : p

I can easily spend an entire day sitting on my computer, Ive done it many times, haha. Its good to take time away from the computer and do other things, for obvious reasons. Ive found myself addicted to online interaction before. Its not a good thing : p

I dont think 4-5 hours is real bad though. And at least its on a site like CC, and not some terrible site filled with lewd images or deceitful content. The bad kinda things youll have to deal with here is the same kinda stuff that happens absolutely everywhere else in life, people getting into arguments and stuff like that, haha.

I visit two different Christian sites.. 2 hour stints at each site.. so in total 4 hours a day if things are busy and interesting.. I guess if you do not have any face to face fellowship then taking part in fellowship in CC is a decent option.. I don't think i could sit down and do a 4 hour session in one sitting.. My brain would go to mush lol..

I'm not sure how much time I spend on CC. Maybe a few minutes here and there every or every other day. I think it's really nice that you've made friends and feel comfortable here. That's a good thing.

Well I appreciate your frequent and lengthy posts. The more you post, the less I have to, and I am totally okay with that ;-)

this is just a simple difference us (3+thousands), without Jesus' in-put', we're ALL in bondage!!!

is this just an excuse that only a '40'yr. could come-up-with,!?!?

I will tell you from my experience socializing on cc is fine for a time. Remember that a lot of people on here aren't who they represent themselves to be and that is neither a good or bad thing. I know that I try to be who I am in real life here and the few I interact with are the same way. But it is so much more important to know developing friends here for a time can actually help you develop friends in your personal life and open yourself up to others that you see all the time to where you don't need to be online as much. I used to do several posts every day, but because of my life getting so busy between relationships and my work I don't have much time to do any of that anyway.
