I left Facebook a few months ago and the Lord led me here to this forum, Praise God! I did use Facebook as a witnessing tool for some years and hope I planted some seeds but I couldnt handle the vile and horrible posts some people left which I was concerned about for others who read them who werent like that but didnt know Christ. I really didnt care when their attacks were directed at me or even what I said but some were directed at God and that really made me feel awful. I couldnt figure out why people would bother to follow certain pages if they hated what was on them. I dont miss Facebook. I love it here with you guys.

Haven't read all of the posts in this thread so I don't know if the following site has been mentioned.

It is a conservative Christian oriented social site similar to FB. It even looks like FB. It is a fairly new site with not a lot of members, but hopefully it will catch on and grow.

Below is a memo on my home page that includes a link to the site.

Good afternoon, ld johnson Tip: Send an email to your family, friends, church and organizations to join USA.Life. Just say: I joined USA.Life social network to be free of Facebook and Twitter's censorship and spying. If you want freedom and privacy, get your USA.Life account and friend me at https://USA.Life/register

Amen to that!!! I am thoroughly disgusted with FB. I also wonder if the government is spying on people through FB? One of my cousins posts everything she does. A couple of summers ago she said she would be in a different state for several weeks. Luckily she wasn't burglarized or anything but I think it's dangerous to post to the public your plans. I don't do Facebook at all. My uncle had sent a screenshot to my email of her post just stating she was going to have a fun summer. Crazy!!

people really dont need to know every little thing another person does every second of every day either. The government does not need to know everything either!

:scoregood I rarely post anything on Facebook except for the few groups that I belong to. I belong to an RV Forum, a camping group, and couple of groups for Shetland Sheepdog owners, and one for a dear friend who is going through stage 4 cancer. Otherwise, I have a couple of liberal family members I have turned off their posts because I don't agree with their politics. I have "liked" Christian movies, daily scripture readings, etc. So those are posted on my Facebook page. I can't imagine posting my daily activities for the world to see.

I mainly go to Facebook to keep in touch with relatives that live out of state that I would otherwise not see and for my daughter's school parent page. If it weren't for those things, I'd quit Facebook in a hot minute. It stirs up mostly trouble and warps the idea of friendship. My sister in law got upset and unfriended me because my husband and I didn't respond to her post about both her parents passing away close together. Instead of her or my husband's brother calling us directly to let us know, they expected us to see the post on Facebook. I didn't see it because I hid her posts from my timeline due to how ultra liberal and anti-Christian she is. She posted mostly negative, hateful things. I don't really have much in common with her and the last time we went to visit, we only saw her once. Even if I hadn't hid her posts, Facebook has weird algorithms that determine what they want you to see.

I use Facebook, and my own page, for the glory of God.
I also use it to help encourage other believers, and pray for ppl. I belong to several prayer groups and we take prayer requests all the time.
I share the Gospel, post prayer needs, encouraging scripture, and also share posts exposing false teachings, pastors, religions, etc. I've met a lot of wonderful Christians on there.
Yes, I do belong to other groups (like a group for vintage Barbie collectors) but my primary focus is to share the Gospel. My family is on there as well, and it's been a great way to keep in touch.
Also, I use an app (?) called FB Purity that helps hide things you don't want to see. Comes in handy.
Unless the Lord tells me to stop, I'll never quit using Facebook to share the Good News!

Not true. You can always share bible verses, take prayer requests, etc. Ask the Lord and see what He wants you to do!
If you can use it for His glory, so be it. We can always use more STRONG, spirit-filled believers!
