I've hidden people and they still have been able to respond and comment on my statuses so they're not totally shut down. I just don't wanna read their statuses lol. They can see me, but I can't see them unless like I said, they leave a comment or message...

I wish I had known about hiding back when I deleted that prophet. I definitely would've hidden him, instead of deleting him. $:-\$

I hid my mom, and then in turn got a nasty email from her...

I guess I'm the only one who don't hide or delete people lol.

BX how did your mom know you hid her? You told her or something?

I just ignore it. If u wanna curse, that's on you. As long as it's not directed at me, it's not a big deal.

For the most part, I'm with Nessa.

I don't have any family who uses profanity in their statuses, so that's not really one of my issues. I have had friends/acquaintances from high school or my old neighborhood or other random places who do a lot of cussing.

I have deleted all but one of them. Like Nessa, I also take issue with people who discuss stuff I'm not interested in hearing, whether it's profane or not. I had one FBF who always talked about sex and used vulgar words to describe body parts and sex acts. I'm just not interested in that, and I found it to be really annoying after a while, so I deleted him. I also deleted a prophet/acquaintance who used his statuses to advertise (brag about) his spiritual gifts and how "the Lord" used him prophetically. He's extremely accurate, the kind who can call out your telephone number, middle name, childhood address and all that. It got annoying to me so I deleted him. I also had one who was Black Israelite (which is fine by me). He always had all these inspirational messages and things that I ignored... but then he started insulting people of other faiths, and I didn't like that, so I deleted him. I've deleted at this point all those who use profanity, except one person, and that's because as I was about to delete, the Lord spoke to me and said "don't let go of her." *sigh*

Only one person has expressed offense and that was the prophet, who now gives me the very cold shoulder and barely speaks to me at all.

Oh one other thing, I don't warn anyone first because I feel like that's YOUR page and YOUR keyboard so you can type whatever you want, and if I don't like it I should just...

Is that God, or a divination spirit?...but anyway...

I just hide. I almost take the same approach as u13. I don't necessarily delete someone, because my skin is pretty tough.

I agree with ness too. I don't think I've had anyone on my list delete me for being overly religious.

did the prophet have foreknowledge that you was deleting him?

My mom has my password. I think also that it may have been lack of responding to her status updates... I guess $:-\$ but she knew. And she dealt with me...

I've seen an up and coming gospel artist use profanity on his page as well as other people's pages. That's not really good PR. He'll have to realize that for himself, but I'm sure someone has told him that already. I also know of another gospel group where I saw one of the members doing the patented "flipping the bird" shot in numerous pictures on his page. A lot of folks let Facebook make them extremely bold.

I liked being naive a little, but one gospel artist ruined my image of people at that level. It felt like just finding out that Santa Claus wasn't real. Even though I've read and heard stories, it was different seeing it first-hand.

LOL!!!!! Good one!!

You know, the awkward part is that his soon-to-be fiance is my FBF, and she and I talk all the time so I'm always seeing him on her FB page, and kinda talking around him and stuff because he won't talk to me... lol. The other day, I IM'd him and he responded in one sentence and then went invisible. LOL *shrug* Oh well.

Gifts & Callings but where is the integrity.

Another thing I just thought of (because it happened this morning), it's especially disheartening when you see the church kids cussing in their statuses. I always want to say something to them, but I try to remind myself that they are grown now and they can talk however they want to talk on their FB page. It just kinda hits me hard to see these kids that grew up in my SS class or in my children's choir or are the children of my friends using words that don't even fit them. I used to tell them to stop running in the sanctuary, or to tie their shoelaces or pull your slip up... and now they're dropping "f bombs" and talking like absolute heathens.

Those are the ones I won't delete, though. Probably no matter what.

Yeah, my friend's son who has grown up to be such a handsome and intelligent young man, tries to keep his statuses ambiguous probably for my sake and the sake of others who know who he is, but sometimes I catch something that is very discouraging. I can also tell by the kind of friends he has and the things they say, that he is not making very good choices right now. This is a kid that was very troubled (or you might call him bad) when he was little, and we prayed him through until God really delivered him from a lot of stuff. It just breaks my heart to see him neglect his relationship with the Lord. But then again, every once in a while, I see conviction in his statuses, which lets me know that God is still speaking to him. So I'll keep praying.

My stepdaughter is one of them who likes a lot of profanity. I talked with her about it and she gave me this crap about how she's got to be herself...

.
So then I hid her comments but I couldn't stand not knowing what she was posting, so I unhid them. It's one of the ways I keep up with what she's doing on the weekends since she's been away in college.

I don't do either.

I changed my picture saying I deactivated my account.

Erased all my information in my profile.

And of course I deactivated my facebook account.

Sadly I miss my frat brother's graduation

cause I didn't have facebook to remind me

B3Wannabe · « **Reply #39 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:24:45 AM »

Big Momma wouldn't care who you were, or whose Facebook account it was, she'd correct it.

Where's Big Momma?

Is it the times, or are we just scared to say something?
