<p>Thou shalt not commit adultery and thou also shalt not use Facebook, says a New Jersey pastor who feels the two often go together.</p>
<p>The Rev Cedric Miller said 20 couples among the 1,100 members of his Living Word Christian Fellowship Church have run into marital trouble over the last six months after a spouse connected with an ex-flame through Facebook.</p>
<p>Because of the problems, he is ordering about 50 married church officials to delete their accounts with the social networking site or resign from their leadership positions. </p>
<p>He had previously asked married congregants to share their login information with their spouses and now plans to suggest that they give up Facebook altogether.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been in extended counselling with couples with marital problems because of Facebook for the last year and a half,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What happens is someone from yesterday surfaces, it leads to conversations and there have been physical meet-ups. The temptation is just too great.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rev Miller is married and has a Facebook account that he uses to keep in touch with six children, but said he will heed his own advice and cancel his account this weekend.</p>
<p>On Sunday, he plans to &#8220;strongly suggest&#8221; that all married people to stop using Facebook, lest they endanger their marriage.</p>
<p>&#8220;The advice will go to the entire church,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;ll hear what I&#8217;m asking of my church leadership. I won&#8217;t mandate it for the entire congregation, but I hope people will follow my advice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miller said he has spoken from the pulpit before about the dangers of Facebook, asking married couples to give each other their passwords to the site.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some did. Others got scared and deleted their accounts right away. And some felt it was none of my business and continued on,&#8221; he said.</p>
