Hello Guys,
I have a question for you all. Has anyone one of you ever had to or decided to end a friendship? In this new day of technology and facebook I have come across people that I think were better off left in my past... One person that I truly regret even having a conversation with via the PM on facebook...
I have never seen someone lie so much that it looks like a sickness. Never in my life had a had someone so crazy that they want to sell me lie about me to me! Makes me glad that I at least have a desire for the truth in my life. But it seems that this person what's the change events from their past so bad that they are willing to create a total new reality!
I just can't go there... I hate to say to someone thatIhave no desire to have contact with them but I don't see any other way... Has anyone else felt the need to cut people out of their lives?
Kitty

Kitty, it is easy on facebook, delete the person from your friend and block them.... I ran into and NOW are friends with about 40 ppl I graduated with in high school in NJ way back in 1977 and some I went to college with. i ONLY communicated with just a few OF THOSE Ppl... Some I don't even remember. One brother told me I witnessed to him back in 1978 or 79, as a result he living and on fire for Christ. I remember cutting him off back as a friend than, because I wanted to live for Christ and couldn't do it with him... Later, when we ran into each other I bagged him to give his life to Christ, but he said he wasn't ready, he didn't want to backslide after making a commitment and that was the last time I seen him. Another friend, I was a underground sweetheart while he was pledging APA. We were good friend HS and college... I used to pray hard for his salvation, now he is red hot for Christ. There are many that were not saved when I knew them, that are now saved... I communicates with them on an social level and not personal... I don't know them that well anymore and I don't try to get back into their lives... My advice to you is to delete any friends that make you feel uncomfortable and block them on your facebook. It real easy and don't feel bad about it... I have a few African Pastors that keep popping up in the chat... and a minister who I never met, asked did I still love him?  One more move from them, they are out! |

My husband actually deleted his FB page.... (this could probably fall under this or even the resolution post)....For him, the ppl that he wanted to keep in contact with he has their number and they have his and so the "need" for FB or any of those types of pages were meaningless. Also in a generation by which many of ppl's friendships are FB/Twitter/myspace based, it's definitely not a very "personal" relationship...
Other than that, be careful of who you give your number to...and if too many ppl have it, changing it doesn't cost that much. :-).

I dont have that many friends. Friend to me is a covenant word and I would say I have less than ten ' Friends '. There there are associates and aquaintences many of whom I have had to stop dealing wuth over the years but that never bothers me because they arent a part of my inner circle.
God has an outer court, inner court and holy of holies and so do I.

Yeah, disconnecting someone on FB is the easiest thing to do. Just unfriend them and be on your way.

FB has become a blessing and a curse at the same time. Between ppl on your friends list befriending YOUR friends just because they are your friends to those that are your friends just to see what your status updates are/will be.......

As with anything, you have to know how to handle it. But I will say I kept my FB family rolling with laughter Sunday night during Celebration of Gospel on BET with my status updates. They weren't ready, LOL!
