I have this at my University. If you so choose to provide your telephone number to the online database, you will receive a text. This is helpful is helpful during tornado warnings or other emergency situations. It is not often used, but it is comforting to know that if something were to occur at a time that I didn't have computer or television access, I would receive the alert immediately.

Why would you ever need a telephone book when you could just use Google, or your phone to text Google? But then again, try telling that to Grandma...

If a couple is having relationship problems due to communication via Facebook, banning them from the site is not going to solve the problem. Perhaps Reverand Miller should focus his counseling sessions on the deeper problems of trust and honesty in these relationships, rather than trying to block Facebook from the church. What's next, banning Internet completely to shield the relationship from emails or other social networking sites? There is not escaping these things. Sure, it may cause strain on relationships, but it is an unavoidable part of life.
