Why is there a stigma on its use, when people are longing for intimacy?

clumsy confronters

And I’m not even using a company phone. It’s in the family. I’m happy with my family, but I wonder if our information gathering has made us into clumsy confronters rather than gracious confessors.

We know! We have access to information, probably since the Patriot Act. As a state sanctioned entity, so does the church to a certain degree.
