I've thought about leaving Facebook for years. In fact, I left once, but came back to it after a couple of months. But their censorship of conservative Christians really bothered me. Often they would attach notices to my posts, saying their "fact checkers" decided I was posting false information. Or they would simply block my posts altogether. This made me crazy!
But I hung in there for 2 reasons:
#1. I get my photos of my family through their FB postings.
#2. I've belonged to this one particular group of women for many years. They are all over the world and I counted so many of them as friends.
A few months back, I thought I'd found the perfect compromise. I deleted all my Friends except for my family. I'd still get their pictures. I got rid of all my Likes. And I left all the groups except for that one group I loved.
This worked fairly well. But then ...
Over time, my lovely group of women became infiltrated more and more with self professed Lesbians, Satanists, Pagans, Goddesses, etc, etc.
Ugh.
I tried to ignore them. It felt so wrong.
The last straw came with a Lesbian posting a picture of herself ... Clearly drunk, with her lesbian "husband", and her barely covered body hanging out in our faces. Disgusting.
I do not believe that our Lord wants us to spend so much time with unrepentant sinners.
Although it grieved me to leave my friends ... And miss those precious pictures of my grandchildren ... I deleted my Facebook account forever.
I've been a member here at CC since February. I've lurked some, but not really spent too much time here. I decided that although I feel a bit shy coming in as an unknown, I'm going to jump in and play. I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all.
I really believe Facebook is a wicked place. I am done with them.
