Comments on: Your Social Networking Activity Can Be Damning (and Damaging) To Your Ministry http://churchm.ag/your-social-networking-activity-can-be-damning-and-damaging-to-your-ministry/ Exploring the Intersection of Church and Technology Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:17:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: glenda http://churchm.ag/your-social-networking-activity-can-be-damning-and-damaging-to-your-ministry/#comment-42813 glenda Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:15:22 +0000 http://churchcrunch.com/?p=5466#comment-42813 I just read a pastors blog and he talks about comparing two recent church services he has been to. This is the end of his blog " On the other hand we could have been a pagan family visiting and the second church would have been on the money." Is that really really offensive/strange or am I being hypersensitive? I just read a pastors blog and he talks about comparing two recent church services he has been to.

The dangers of saying something stupid (or slanderous, or sinful) on the new are exponentially increased by interacting anonymously or pseudonymously. I use my real name on everything as a kind of accountability. That opens you up to the dangers described above, but it also encourages me to be more careful. And the latter is more important.

I've definitely changed the type of content I put on my blog -- however, I won't remove anything I've put up there from the past. I know we need to be cognizant of the content we present on the web. However, for most of us, I believe the content that we put on the web is no different than the topics we often discuss with our friends, family & colleagues. In my experience, that when we put these topics "on paper" we open ourselves up for a more widely distributed form of discrimination than if we were just speaking these topics with someone else. Combined with an audience that doesn't personally know us, our mannerisms or personality -- we are more likely to be judged unjustly by strangers. Or, such is my opinion. I often wonder if it serves and personal benefit for me to continue blogging at all... This has definitely been on my mind lately.
