Don't tell our District Overseer that.......he went off about it at our Circuit Assembly last month.

I wonder if it'll be mentioned at our circuit assembly this weekend. I've heard several brothers mention it in talks. I had actually deleted my account for a while because of that.

What's wrong with myspace?

Nothing, per se. It's what some people do on it and use it for that's the problem.

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Well, what are some people doing and using? Dating? I don't have a page and I rarely go on.

it's my understanding that the organization feels it's a serious cause for concern. i had a myspace and i deleted it to avoid trouble.

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

They haven't mentioned anything about that in our hall; I guess I'll just wait for our assembly and CO visit to hear about it, if at all. I just don't understand specifically why that page is bad.

I'm not aware of it being an organization wide thing. It certainly has been a cause for concern in certain places. If it comes up at the circuit assembly I'll rethink having an account, but I've really only heard it in passing during talks about things that we need to be careful about.

i think it'll get a comment from the big boys soon. watch out. i miss my page tho. it was devoted to Toshiro Mifune and the movies he's done with Akira Kurasawa. anyway, there are different, safer ways to keep track of friends and peep hot witness chicks, lol.

Haha. Very true...

Dating is the big thing that I think most people are concerned about. Another is kids giving out way too much personal information that could potentially be used by predators. Yet another is bad association, which relates to the first issue.

Of course none of these problems is really myspace-centric, so blaming one particular website is going a little overboard, but I certainly understand why parents and elders are concerned given the popularity of the site.

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Ahh, that was my thought, that the entire internet is dangerous for all those reasons, not just one site. I didn't realize there were so many friends on myspace. It's funny, I'm rarely online when I'm home, I just sort of assume everyone else is just as busy as I am with theocratic stuff, so it always surprises me when I hear how much time some friends spend online. I mean, I'm stuck behind a computer here at work, so I surf around this site, but I wouldn't spend as much time online at home.

hahaha i'm the same way....when i get home i dont even want to look at my computer.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

yeah! the internet really chaps my butt cheeks

yeah, i think it's mainly the association thing + all the half-naked teeny boppers

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Eww! What?!

iwz iwz

it's quite popular on myspace to have very risque pics of yourself on your profile. so if you look at myspace for 10 seconds, you'll probably run into some of them.

myspace is HUUUGE HUGE HUGE

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah there's what, 60 million people on it..

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

ewww, yesss!!!

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

Thats why i spend all my half naked time in person and avoid the whole "online" thing.

yeah i know mike, why don't you put some pants on at work for once?

specialk specialkOG 2003

In our Circuit, it was mentioned that there were actual names mentioned of people, accusations made of sorts, rumors going around.....started big drama apparently. The DO didn't go into it too much, but apparently it was bad enough that people were hurt, and it wasn't neccessary. It basically could have been avoided.
