Facebook and your bishop

[JohnnyLingo]

Are you friends with your bishop on Facebook? My wife just got called to be the Beehives adviser, and our bishop told her to add the girls as friends on Facebook. He said he's done this with the youth in the ward and has learned a lot of stuff about their lives and how some are doing stuff they shouldn't be doing.

1. Kids today are dumb.

2. I have no interest in being Facebook friends with my bishop.

Your experience?

LOL! You knew what your church was when you picked it up!

1. That is one of my all-time favorite things to say to people. I actually used it on my brother-in-law a couple months ago in relation to my sister.

2. I was born into the church. I question your statement that I knew what I was getting in to.

I am Facebook friends with my Bishop. To me it's not about who you're friends with or not, it's about whether or not you use Facebook. And if you work with the youth or have teenage kids, it is a great way to keep up with their lives. Plus you cant "humiliate" your teenage daughter with your own statuses (stati?) so that's a plus as well.

I'm facebook friends with 90% of the youth in my ward, which is weird because I dont have a calling with the youth or anything. I think I picked up one and the rest all friended me.

Anyway, I find myself telling other women in RS what their kids are up to. Odd.

That is how most of the YW leaders communicate with the girls in our ward. I don't have an account and sure as heck to don't want to be-friend some of the adults in my ward. For a select few, I already know way more about their comings and goings than I would care to.

But think of the fun you could have! Replying to ward members' status updates with questions about how they're handling their pornography addictions and affairs. "Bro. Johnson, I see that you've been posting on Sister Smith's wall. Remember what we discussed?"

We're a pretty young hip bunch in my ward (I'm on the slightly older end) so most of us are on facebook. I am also friends with most of the youth in the ward even though I don't have a calling with them (my wife did until recently). But their parents are also on facebook so I have nothing to report.

Fixed.

I see that you've been posting on Sister Smith's wall.

Is that really a FB term, or you own personal euphemism (or is double entendre the correct term here. SU/Babs?)?

I work to hard to keep my personal life and my church life separate. Why would I want to ruin that?

An independent goat is a happy goat!

The whole "when world's collide" thing can be a challenge on FaceBook for sure. High school friends, mission buddies, church, work, etc.

Yes.

The bishop is my facebook friend but he already knows me for the heathen that I am so I have nothing to hide.
