International Delete Your MySpace Account Day!!!

MOREGODlessme · Postby **MOREGODlessme** » January 30th, 2008, 11:05 am

I run 3 MySpace pages. One is my personal page. Another is for alumni of a drum & bugle corps I marched with. I have a few hundred friends there. It is a place for them to look back at vids of themselves through the years. The 3'rd is the drum corps' music page. It has a few show recording on it. There are over 3000 "fans" of the corps on there. I scrutinize many friend requests on there. But, I inherited that page from another former member of the corps. So some were already on there.
My personal page is used mainly to communicate with the kids in the high school band that I work with. Most of my friends are involved in that band in some form or another.

MySpace is just like my life. It's what you allow it to be. I deny those I do not desire to be on there. Just like in life. We all pick and choose who we allow to be close to. I normally do not go to the pages of my friends. I usually just get to there message link to send them info they might need..

I'll keep MySpace. It is useful to me.

I have a facebook acct but never use it.

I check my myspace almost every day. More than Jude actually! It's a wonderful tool for parents of teens and youth leaders. AND, I even have found a site for my friends in my school in FL. COOLNESS!

Our youth pastor has used it very effectively. He keeps in touch with the youth on a daily basis. And I personally know that when he see them post things not appropiate he confronts them in a good way. As I said in another post he now has set up a website and they are getting about 300-400 hits daily. He is using both avenues to reach the young people.

I agree it really is what you alow it to be in your life.

You know, we recently confronted one of our 20 year olds in the group who has "come out of the closet" and told him that some of the pictures and posts on his site were affecting the younger youth who look up to him. We got lamblasted from his mom about it as now she's convinced herself that he's "ok" and God will not let him go to Hell, even though he is pursuing the gay lifestyle. She says that we are judging him and he doesn't want to come to church anymore and she blames us for that. Noone "judged" him (in fact, we (us and all the youth) scream his name and hug him whenever he does grace us with his presence), we just advised him that he cannot run to that type of lifestyle. We believe that he is probably under conviction about it and just doesn't feel comfortable around the church - it's just easier to blame it on us. Any advice there? She is a really good friend of ours and it has created some discord between us.

I use mine all the time. I have had numerous old friends from the Marines and even elementary school contact me. And I keep in touch with old church camp friends...so mine ain't goin' nowhere.

I nuked mine about three hours ago.

Thanks DaJudge. Then sign up for Facebook and let's start a group called "Manifold Blessings."

There are multiple COGOP groups on FaceBook... and some COGOP guy in Canada has created a site called www.mycogop.com

I signed up just to see what the features are, and invited him to Jude2.

I have one because my kids wanted one. At the time, I had no clue what myspace was, so I allowed them to get one and I got one as well.

Like yellow rose, I found a person I not seen in years.

Maybe it was providence that yesterday was delete MySpace day and then we find out about the mycogop place today. :-)

Beav, you may have been an instrument of change!
