hi
i have a question about accountability partner software. does anyone have experience with having a partner from GYE, who they do not know in person, only through GYE?
does that defeat the whole purpose of the accountability? i am referring to the software like WebChaver that you can install and it sends a history of sites visited to a designated person.
thanks

thanks for replying.
what does he do if he sees that a site visited was bad? he cannot call me into his office and put the fear of the l-rd into me
basically my question is what is the deterrent of such a setup?
just the knowledge that someone else is "watching" even though that person is a nameless, faceless entity you will not meet?

Thats why this kind of accountability partner is only usefull if you use someone you know in person.

I had a similar issue to you. Webchaver suggested to me that my wife be my chaver.

thanks for all the responses.
seems that the consensus is that anonymous partner are not the recommended way, which is what i surmised. it would take some explaining to the wife why all of a sudden i need her to be my "monitor". b"h i have filters on my computers for a couple years but the filters do not filter everything.

no need to do it all of a sudden. just casually mention about webchaver one day. a couple of weeks later you can bring it up again - say a friend of yours asked you to be their chaver etc. etc.
