Am the only one that wonders which LDS friends are still active? That is when they friend me, various factors indicate to me whether they are active church members or not. Many are not, it would appear.

Why would that be of any moment to you? They are your friends, are they not?

When you figure that out do you defriend them?

Yes. If they are not accepting hometeachers.

LOL!

You know, Waters, the home teachers gave up on me a long time ago. Is that my fault?

Did they give up? Or did you tell them to get lost.

I leave the religion section blank on purpose to leave you guessing.

when your wife has a pic of you all standing in front of the church, it's not hard to figure things out. (Yes, I have checked).

I don't really set out to do this, but it naturally occurs in some cases. It's particularly clear, for example, when they become a "fan" of temple marriage or LDS missionaries, or GBH, all of which I think are odd things to do. And then I have a formerly LDS friend who lists atheist as his religious beliefs (guess who?), and that's pretty clear, too. I wonder, though, about the kid I knew in hs and college, whose dad was our bishop, and now he's got beach photos where he's covered in tatoos.

I find most people leave the religion section blank, which I also think is interesting. Don't you think you have a duty to proclaim your religious beliefs of facebook, Mike?
