I need some FaceBook help (page 2)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, there are no privacy settings on facebook that will allow you hide your fan pages and group memberships from people on your friends list. I'd let the facebook 'poztate groups go if you're trying to keep your apostatey-ness private.

Snoozy

I know people that have hid certain photos , not all of them, from certain others. I also know of some that have blocked certain ones from reading their walls.

They just recently changed a lot of their privacy settings, you have to experiment to find out how to do it. I don't go there anymore so can't say how to do it but I do know the things I have posted concerning blocking certain people and things can be done.

My granddaughter blocked some of her photos from certain posters..she still made the pictures of her dogs available to all but restricted what certain people could see. (personal pictures of the family) Same with her wall.

You can also block what friends others see..they can see a few but when they try to pull up the rest it blocks them.

Then again, what's wrong with just saying you want your privacy?

You don't "Owe" them the privledge of being your facebook friend anyway!

Snoozy..

I would just google what you want to do. They usually will have a step by step way to hide what you want hidden.

Just type in Something like how to hide information on facebook...I'm sure tons of people have figured it out and will share the secrets.

Don't let another jw control even one more single thing!

I agree completely. It's your life and you have the right to live it as you choose. If you don't you are giving your power away. Why give them custody of your power?

Warning! I had certain privacy settings all set up on facebook and then "poof!" one day certain options disappeared with a new and improved facebook and until I realized the changes impacted my settings, things were open to people that I did not want open to them at all, so I would never count on privacy settings to be secure. Facebook updates and changes constantly, all of a sudden making certain settings you are accustomed to obsolete and leaving you wide open. So if you are not willing to face the risks involved with friends of friends possibly seeing something that could be damaging to you, do not friend anyone that might expose you to risk.

Additionally, there are people I have "unfriended" whose comments are still visible to me when they comment on a mutual friend's page, so I feel pretty sure that they occasionally see my comments on posts of friends we have in common's pages, so there is no sure fire guarantee that your use of facebook will remain hidden completely to those you've blocked. Your page may be hidden, but they may still occasionally see signs that you still use facebook through mutual friends' pages and posts. I have learned it is not fool proof, even when I have gone to great lengths to put friends all into groups and place different privacy settings on each group. Anything out there in cyberspace is open to exposure, for sure, so make your decision with full awareness of that fact.

I had a close friend, inactive Jdub and she invited me as friend on FB so I accepted. When she saw the one and only XJW group I was a member of she spread the news to her whole JW family. Within 2days I got email from 7 people informing me they were shocked and offended that I would associate with XJW's and they consider me a bad association.

I was a little hurt but over it now and agree with Wildflower, do not allow a Jdub to control you. But if you just want to avoid problems figure out those privacy settings jiffy quick. Make sure you have everything under lock and key.....and still I think there are back doors that snoops can sneak into so watch your back.

Just be yourself! Don't let another jw control even one more single thing!

I agree with this 200% and I have made no qualms about being on this site, subscribing to 'apostate' you tube channels, and making some 'apostate' you tube videos my favorites.

Interesting. When I officialy cut myself off from the WTBS, I made decisive step to delete any Jdubs on my facebook list. I feel so good now. I knew they will be wathing my friend s' postings as well as mine on facebook wall. Now all of my friends are worldly people and a few are ex-JWs. I like that way.

Let's see if I can explain this. I love my cousin very much. Partly because we've been through a lot together and there were many years that we didn't talk because we let stupid shit get in the way. She's married to a nonjw who will never be a jw because of what he saw in the congregation (knowing that a MS was doing his daughters was a major turnoff) but doesn't stop her from being a jw. She has three kids, two have autism and one is normal. She takes all of her kids (as far as I know none of them are baptised) to the hall when she can but she just told me that her normal son is starting to be involved in musical theater like his father. I'm hoping that will be a way out of the borg for her son.

Like I said before she's a very liberal jw but I can't say that about the rest of my jw family some of whom are on FaceBook and on her friends list. Our family has a propensity for horrendous infighting and I don't want to start anymore mess 6 months from our family reunion.

I think I will just call her and let her know that being a friend on FaceBook might not be such a good idea right now. I think she would understand. I'd rather hear her voice than chat on FaceBook anyway.

Josie, your family sounds eerily like mine.

I tell you, we put the dys in dysfunctional!
