I switched back to the flip phone with no Internet for a while because of trouble with sin with the smartphone. I have found that buying an iPhone and then switching back to a flip phone makes you the center of attention at work. Because I work with people who are not all Christians or may have some church experience but not be well grounded in the Gospel, I want to be careful what I share. If my co-workers find out I have a problem with lust, they may think I’m messed up and be less interested in what I would tell them about God and spiritual things.
So, in telling them why I switched back to the flip phone, I may just say that I don’t like smartphones as much as I thought I would when I got the iPhone. I may say that I have the tendency to spend too much time on a device and think if I spend less time on my phone and more time practicing the guitar that I would think I am more productive with my free time.
If they ask what kind of stuff I spend too much time on the smartphone I could just say something innocuous like I had a friend setup content restrictions on my phone but sometimes I can still make unwise content decisions. If I said more and explained that my religion teaches purity and respect for women and that if I look too much at women I may quit using the phone, I think this may be too much, but it may seem like a contrast to the coworker I met when I was first hired that openly shared about lusting after women. I think I should be careful because some of the people that would hear what I say are young ladies.
If I start telling people I made unwise decisions with the smartphone they may think that every time I switch to the flip phone that I did something irresponsible, but I may also have a desire to switch to the flip phone because I may want to just evaluate if I like the flip phone better than a smartphone. I may quit the smartphone for a temporary time and go back to using it again if I have victory for a long enough period of time.
Also I would like it if people don’t quote what I said in replies in case I want to edit out some of the personal information at a later time.
