Still relevant to this very day.

Just in case…Everyone, stay safe and warm. Big day tomorrow. It’s official. Signed at 6:00am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow marks the start of the new Facebook rule (also known as Meta), which allows them to use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy. Then go to your page, create a new post, and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear, and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents
According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

I hear you pastor

My advise to my fellow clergy on building a healthy relationship with your congregation:
1.Respect your congregation.
2.Don’t castigate your members.
3.Don’t pour out your disappointments on the congregation.
4.Avoid words like if you want you can go God will bring other people better than you.
5.Don’t blame the church for your financial lack or struggles.
6.Don’t speak from the pulpit to the church words like “you don’t pay me well”,remember people come to hear the word they also have problems of their own, such discuss with your leaders. God is faithful he will always provide.
7.Don’t belittle the elders in your church Respect them as your parents.
8.Don’t make a sermon to deal with an individual or group in the church that is defiling the altar.
9.Avoid borrowing money from church members.
10.Don’t be quick to lend money to members because others stop coming to church when they fail to pay. Only lend when you are ready to write it off should you see one struggling to pay.
It’s better to give without expecting it back.
11.Always lead by example in giving to God and contributing to projects.
12.You and your wife should avoid sharing your problems with church members always share such to some one you look to for counsel like your spiritual father or to very senior friends.
13.Don’t force your church to grow .Be patient growth and increase comes from God as you do the right things the bible says some one planted and another waters but God gives the increase or growth.
14.Never share what a member has confided to you in counseling to any one.
15.Remember members are simply volunteers,they can easily find another place to worship therefore respect and honor them.
Arch Bishop Bernard Goodson Nwaka.
