I can't imagine what people of middle age go through in their efforts to find companionship. My experiences with the internet in general have left me with the feeling that a great deal of cyberspace is a cesspool of deception. I can only imagine what takes place on dating sites.

Ok, so I've just come back from the article.
how funny that my initial reaction was "WOW" and I read this in the article: "Four people from four separate denominations had similar reactions, ranging from "wow" to initial silence as they wrapped their heads around it." So I guess it's a common reaction.
That being said, once I finished the article, I got to thinking about the people that I know that are trying to find someone using a "Christian" dating site (not Big Church--I'd have remembered that name---kind of phallic, come to think of it---anyway I digress, as usual). Two male co-workers say it never ceases to amaze them how many married women are on there looking for either an extra-marital affair or a replacement for their current husband. Three female friends (49, 53 & 55 yrs of age) can only find men looking for 25-year-old bimbos. All of them are decent people and are totally disallusioned by the process. I met a few couples last year on a retreat that met using online services, but they all said they had to weed through hundreds of people before finally meeting someone worth pursuing, even on e-Harmony, the article's poster child.
So I guess ultimately, does it really matter who owns these sites, since the users are pretty much the same across the board no matter what they call themselves? All I know is thank God I'm happily married, I'd never go this route if I were still single.

Oh brother...that's worse than finding out a Jewish group owned a local
Christian radio station.
