Join the nospace revolution!
I've had porn on the mind. That is, we talked about porn in our high school meeting last night, so I've been studying and doing research on the subject. In the process of doing so and with much prayer and conviction I cancelled my myspace account last thursday. XXXChurch.com dubbed myspace "porn training wheels" and I would have to agree. I got myspace to network and be able to communicate with students in that way but it hasn't been worth it. Every time I logged on I was accosted with images of girls in suggestive poses, wearing little to nothing. It wasn't worth it. My heart and my mind are a lot more important to me than shooting the breeze on myspace. In Matthew 5 Jesus called us to take extreme measures when it comes to staying pure. For alot of us, cancelling myspace is an extreme measure. Join the nospace revolution!

thx J. ive been in the same boat. i dont know how many people have been trying to get me to myspace. and let me say i totally get that a lot of people are using it for ministry etc. And i dont want to be a pharisee and just broad brush it or create a spiritual barometer out of it, but for the most part, to me, it seems to be for the insecure or for those who are the "in-need of attention" addicts. again, to those of you reading this who do have myspace dont think i'm being harsh, i know there are many cases where its used for ministry and good causes, yadda yadda, but, ive been very disappointed w/how many followers of Jesus, mostly girls, choose to represent themselves w/the images...
it may be a rumor but ive heard that some churches are even asking to see the myspace accounts of youth pastor candidates. good idea.
i know it sounds totally old school and i may change my mind in the future but for now i simply dont have a peace about it and dont care to be associated with myspace. good post, sorry i saw it so late.
