Featured Should Churches Restrict Mobile-Cell Phone Use During Services?

Since he video was put on cw
Ell, its legally necessary to restrict them in theatres.

 

Two problems. Bright screen and people behind you. The big problem is video camera out and aimed at something illegal to record.

 

I think that is fine as far as one's own children are concerned, but there should also be consideration of whether this is distracting the teacher and/or other students.

 

That would fall under the getting in trouble category.

 

There is no acceptable legal way to use a jammer. A jammer ttransmits on a certain frequency range. You have to hold a license for those bands to legally transmit on them.

 

I have about 5 or 6 versions of the Bible on my smartphone as well as commentary, etc. When the pastor mentions a good book to read or an evangelist to follow I note it on my phone. We need to support the correct use of technology in the church.

 

I personally think using a cellphone or other electronic device during service is very rude. I do have to say that I keep my phone on but it's on silent. The only time I have actually used it was when I had no scratch paper and needed to take notes or when my husband was at home with a sick child.
As to children not being on tech devices, I totally agree. They shouldn't be on them, they should be able to hold still and listen to the service. I do understand that kids are kids but when I was a child we had a children's Bible with pictures that we got to look through if we were bored.
Now my kids can't hold still in church and it doesn't help that my husband doesn't support or believe in church. If it was just me, my kids would hold still and if they didn't, I'd take them out and give them a good crack on the behind. That's what would of happened to me and I was just fine.
Church is about listening to the word of God and becoming closer to Him. We need to put aside our outside life's for that hour or two and let God work.
