"It seems the latest fad among the “holiness police” is to send FB friend requests for the sole purpose of scouring photos so they can then hold cabals to assassinate both character and ministries-(aka “lamenting lack of standards”)
How truly frightening it must be to live in a siege “hold the fort” mentality, sitting around wondering who will be the next to be picked off.
How sad to reduce the concept to Holiness before God to compliance with a rulebook based on 50 year old North American “distinctives”.
Lord forgive them and grant them peace and a true understanding of Your love and holiness, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen"

May I introduce these others to FB privacy controls?
Man, I keep hoping one of the holiness officers would befriend me! I have a WHOLE BUNCH of Jamaican pictures I'd love to show them and have plastered on the next issue of whatever conservative rag that wishes to publish them.

I do limit who can see some of my photo albums, mainly because I don't like the idea of strangers viewing pictures of my kids.
However, that isn't the point. What kind of person takes the time to go through facebook and myspace albums so they can report back to pastors or peers any misdeeds or controversy?
That in and of itself is quite the attitude problem.

And if I had enough time in my life to straighten them all out, I certainly would. So, for individuals I don't know too well, don't trust too well, they are certainly restricted in what they can see.

When people are that uptight, ya just gotta have fun with them!

You big show off, you just want them to all see your huge biceps and 6 pack.
I agree with Miss Brat. I restrict my photo albums on Facebook to friends only because I don't really see the need for people that I don't know to peruse through my pics.

Actually in case this it is people you DO know, honored their friend request, and then they thumb through albums looking for things were they can run tell their con friends how backsliden you are.
