Bruderhof vs. the Information Age
Jocelyn Tomkinson forwarded a cached Bruderhof article, still held in limbo after Bruderhof's disappearance, that suggests (along with an anti-computer post in the Daily Dig as of late) Bruderhof has decided the Internet is a horrible mistake. "The Information Age is destroying something deep within our nature," the article says, "diminishing the human soul. But there is a way out. In the company of even one other living person, we can discover levels of relationship we never thought even existed." OK - I can see how online interaction is no substitute for flesh-and-blood, but why be so black and white? cannot both find their appropriate place in a balanced 21st century life? Update: The Internet as the Mark of the Beast? Oh boy...
