At the possibility of sounding lame and so not with it (I suppose I just did that) I am throwing my support behind Josh Harris and John Piper about not tweeting during worship. There is a time and place for "tweet commentary" but please not during our times of expressing corporately worship to God and listening to God through the scriptures. Call me uptight if you must.
Thanks to Darryl who gave me this link http://theologica.blogspot.com/2009/05/tweeting-and-worship.html#4020161041729280940 I too laughed out loud with Frank Turk's response.

I so agree with you. I mean, there is already that lady in the nth row going in and out n times and the parents that don,t take their toddler to the nursery, the last thing I need is my bbery going on about you twitting.
Now, putting joke aside, aren't we distracted enough? And don't tell me that you were taking sermon notes.
