I love Facebook and use it as a ministry tool. It helps me keep up with what’s going on in the lives of my peeps, and that is a good thing. But there is a fascinating flip-side, which is a perfect example of an internet danger we overlook: Bending the truth.
Of course, people can bend the truth and slant it any way they wish with their posts and statuses. But that isn’t what I’m writing about … Today I stumbled onto a group (which anyone can create at anytime about anything). The particular group was dedicated, NOT to a political candidate or party, but SPECIFICALLY to NOT re-elect a friend of mine in his next local election. As far as I know, there isn’t even anyone running against him. But that is not why these folks joined and wrote in this area: They just don’t like this man.
I know this man pretty well. I’ve known him for over 15 years now. I read the things they wrote, and quite frankly, they are NOT true. But that doesn’t matter to Joe Facebook … Most people who read that stuff might possibly believe it.
I guess what I’m writing today is this: Don’t EVER believe everything you read just because it’s in print, or on the internet!! GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH!! And, as Aunt Esther (and God’s word) says, “THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!”
The Random Thinker 
I know who you are talking about here and none of it is absolutely true at all. It upsets me to know that some people will read this stuff and actually believe it. If they really knew this man, just a little bit, they would know none of it is true at all.
