But I find that I use Facebook the most followed by Twitter, Linkedin, and Goodle Plus occasionally.

Linkedin is more for business professionals who are going to be hunting a job. Being under appointment, job hunting isn’t something I do. So mostly I just stay connected with friends.

I also “belong” to LinkedIn, but I can’t say I “use” it. I usually accept an invitation to “connect” from a friend, but I have yet to see what use it is.

It is always easier to give advice than to follow it. But that is what I hope to do. I’ve started to really question the value of online sites even allowing anonymous comments at all. I think it is just for a way for people to be nasty and mean without consequence.

If we all did what you suggest, there would be a lot less posts, but the ones we did see would be much more readable and worth our time.

]]> Comment on Iowa Annual Conference by Timothy http://circuitwriter.org/2011/05/30/iowa-annual-conference/#comment-70 Tue, 31 May 2011 01:13:22 +0000 http://circuitwriter.org/?p=290#comment-70 Yes, I have been impressed with how “methodical” United Methodist polity is. Honestly both Wesleyan theology and UMC polity attracted me to the denomination. I felt led to a more connectional church experience.

He has commented that it is not for nothing that you are known as ‘Methodists.’ I think he is right, and your description of the conference illustrates that.
I joined the United Church of Christ last year, and will experience my first Conference (in this case, Minnesota) Assembly 2 weekends from now. After most of my life as an Anglican, then 14 years as a Presbyterian, it will be an interesting comparison.
