IS JOHN DANIEL (WHO HATES SOCIAL MEDIA) A CAVE MAN FROM STONE AGES ?

Why is there so much resentment and opposition to the use of social media by John Daniel? 
Apparently John Daniel wanted to know how many evangelists have Facebook accounts in the recently concluded "mela" called Stuartapuram meetings. We hear that nobody raised their hand to indicate that they had an account. Not sure if John Daniel is technologically savvy to click the following links to see who are all the people that are in his immediate circle who are having Facebook accounts who may or may not have raised their hands to answer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some thoughts on the cavemen ways of John Daniel who is now holding his annual "Mela" in Hyderabad that also happens to be a hub for many Information Technology Conglomerates from all over the world. Hyderabad is a home to what is called as "Hitech City" that has become a haven for many hardworking and successful information technology professionals. I just hope that the smart and brilliant young men and women who grew up in Hyderabad LEF are not sitting in the audience to listen to this Stone Age man, John Daniel blabbering in what are now called as Hyderabad "Revival Meetings."
In this day and age, when even people in remote villages in India have access to internet and smart phones, why should Daniel family and this John Daniel in particular show resistance to use of public platforms like Facebook, Blogs, Whatsapp? 
While the whole world is exploiting technological advances for betterment of society, John Daniel wants to impose his ridiculous "stone age" mindset on people. Is John Daniel some kind of a caveman? Woe to LEF people if they are under the regime of a caveman like John Daniel because cavemen know only to use brute force to impose their ways on people. One should feel sorry for all the educated "illiterates" of LEF who have now come under the rule of this tribal leader whose mind set and thinking is nothing better than that of a caveman of the stone age. These Daniel family jokers are just a disgrace as all they are doing with their stone age mentality is insult the human intelligence, the intelligence that sets human beings apart from animals. A dog, cat, tiger, monkey or any animal for that matter is not in pursuit of its well being and hence has no desire or capability to invent and discover newer technologies or better ways to live. All that an animal needs to worry about is its survival and procreation and within its fixed tenets, an animal uses all that is in its instinct to just survive and procreate. But we human beings are set apart because we strive for more than just survival. This pursuit for some thing more than survival is the driving force behind human innovation. The huge technological advances we have seen in the space of information sharing have given rise to one of the best known tools to man in the field of information technology. The use of internet to communicate, share and to connect with people from all walks of life and across the globe is a boon to human society. Every forward looking business, religious group, community and individual is using any and all platforms available in the field of information technology to enhance their processes and methods of communication to reach out to the "unreached." Only people who are involved in nefarious activities are afraid of open platforms such as Facebook, blogs, whatsapp etc. It may be of interest to know that only regimes of evil dictators were/are against people connecting through social media as it threatened/threatens their very existence. Saddam Hussein of Iraq, Mohammad Qaddafi of Libya, Kim Jong-Un of North Korea are some prominent dictators who are known to oppose the use of public platforms in thier regimes. Why should John Daniel feel so threatened when people in LEF use these tools? That in itself should ring a huge alarm bell to people who are still stuck in this rotten LEF. How long will John Daniel use his unintelligent and brute ways to control people? People are not idiots like he is thinking. If nobody raised his hand when John Daniel asked the question as to who all have FB accounts, we cannot automatically assume that people were scared of this joker and that's why they didn't raise their hands. It simply means that people find his "nonsense" to be so irrelevant that they don't find a reason to be involved with his so called "preaching" and actively participate in his question and answer sessions. For heaven's sake, these evangelists are grown men and what makes this poor joker John Daniel think that they will all raise their hands as some "school children" when he asks such stupid questions? We have been in classrooms where an unprepared and unintelligent teacher like John Daniel makes a fool of himself/herself in front of the students and the students just sit there totally bored and uninvolved looking at their watches to see when it is time to get out of the class. That may be what exactly must have happened in these so called "evangelists" meetings. All that those evangelists would have done is "ignore" this joker when he asked them to raise their hands. John Daniel, an idiot that he is, may want to believe that people are "terrified" of him, while all that these poor evangelists are trying to do is ignore this buffoon. 
A keen eye can observe that even the very people whom John Daniel promotes on LEF stages subtly under play John Daniel and his "leadership." Go back to retreat archives and see how Mr. Priyanath refers to this joker while introducing him to come on stage to "preach" All he says is "now JOHN (not JOAN, Mr. Priyanath, who is a London return knows his English well) will speak to us." He doesn't add all these ornate introduction such as Bro. John Daniel, Man of God Mr. John Daniel, Prophet John Daniel or not even Mr. John Daniel." All he says is - John will speak to you. Plain and simple...That in itself should tell that the very people whom this Daniel family uses on their platforms despise this fool John Daniel in their hearts but are just going though the motions to get through these circus shows.This buffoon John Daniel will not last long in India if all his "preaching" is focused on making monkey noises and clown faces.
