the trouble with facebook

my mentoring group that i'm supposed to be accountable to met up today and...we all realised that we don't like facebook or couldn't really be bothered with it. the reason being,
1) people see what others put on your wall and the info you put about yourself. - No privacy.
2) perception of you may be based on what others write on your wall. (But the truth is who we are is what God says about us and not what others say. Besides people don't even know the context of some of the random messages at all).
3) To set privacy settings, you have to go through immense trouble to tick on boxes u want people to see, and the names of people who can see them etc.....argh.

Other than facebook I'm just thankful God is bringing me, and some of my friends through this process of job direction and other directions in life. No big decisions in life should ever be rushed. And i think what i learn and receive, the lessons, the growth, the change, the friendship with God that would grow, the people that we meet along the way, the giving and receiving, far more valuable.
