FB Reel and the Brazilian G-String

[rockytopva]

I used not get Facebook Reels so I could show posts without being ashamed. All my friends are what I would consider good Christian so I could follow Facebook unashamed. Here recently FaceBook has allowed the Brazilian G-String Reels. They allow these Reels without the user subscribing to such material. It would be a bad testimony for someone to look over ones shoulder and see such images. Almost inviting the words sexual perversion.

Brazilian G-String – Bordering nudity and adding the weight of sin on a conscience. I have also noticed that local swimming pools are banning the Brazilian G-String from the swimming area. It is getting where it is a good idea to spend less and less time of Facebook. Anyone else facing these issues? And recommendations on dealing with Facebook Reels?

And recommendations on dealing with Facebook Reels?

Get off Facebook? You may find you have more time for other things then.

Hello @rockytopva

I don’t have Facebook. I got tired of seeing other peoples lives. I do got TikTok, and I do go on webcam sites where people can cam up and chat to one another. That’s about as far as I go, email, YouTube, chat site, Christianforum site, eBay. But I also do work from 7:30am to 3:30pm from Monday through Friday, at a school for mentally handicapped.

I used to use FB. I used to post comments and play Farmville and all that, lol.
I dont have very many friends on FB, it's 81? I tink. It sends me friend suggestions on it's own and is the computer doing it. Or else why would my firends friens mom be suggested as a friend. So I have been ignoring new friend requests and dont even post any more. WHy should I? I dont go out on my front porch and announce my plans for the day or where I'm at, so why should I on FB? That's the stupidest website I've ever seen when I thought about it.

The only reason I didnt go ahead and delete my account there is I have two sons, family, and a few close friends that post and I keep up with them like that. My one son wont send me any pictures of him & his family but he sure posts pics to FB of them!

It's a rare thing for me to to even comment on a post. I like posts here and there to let them know I'm here! Howdy! Lol.

In 1978, Martin began writing an advice column where she answered etiquette questions contributed by her readers and wrote short essays on problems of manners, or clarifies the essential qualities of politeness. Two quotes to clarify her stand…

*Miss Manners believes that if one does the right thing, one does not have to read nasty little books about how to deal with guilt. One never has any. *If rudeness begets rudeness, which begets more rudeness, where will it all end? Miss Manners often receives letters from people who assume that she is a believer and can supply a method to 'putt down' this person or that. Miss Manners will not subscribe to such behavior. She does not allow rude people to spoil her life, but she does not seek satisfaction in spoiling theirs. -- Judith Martin

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. – 1 Corinthians 15:33
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. – 1 John 1:9

There are times in which my conscience reveals to me of something wrong. If I find the wrong doing, repent, I then can go about in the liberty in which Christ has set me free. I went through the Facebook reels wondering how far they could go on the G-Strings before considering it naked and actually saw one naked, in which must have got past the moderators. My conscience began telling me at that time… You know if someone looks over your shoulder and sees all of that it is going to absolutely destroy your testimony. So…I need to make adjustments. There are options where you can select the, “see less of this type video” and seems to work. But… Spending less time of Facebook is definitely the way to go.

So… I confess myself of wrong doing. In which I hate doing. But this was something that indeed sullied the conscience and had to be dealt with and corrected.

This is only an issue for me with the reels. When you scroll they automatically play. All of this happened without my command. If one automatically plays the AI system will offer you many more. So going through the reels to see how far they would go with the G-Strings was a terrible idea. It offered me more of the bad quality reels.

Facebook is being taken over by AI (Artificial Intelligence). It used to be the material was only shared between me and my well chosen Facebook friends and controlled by me. I also search Google here at home and get the same search recommendations there are work, all under a different account. Here recently it has expanded out as the AI would reason it. Taking me places I have no business going. I shared the Bitcoin prices a friend on Google Chat, which was the first time for me doing so. The AI (Artificial Intelligence) had discerned... Hey! He shared a Bitcoin recommendation with a friend on Google Chat... Lets do some advertising! Now the Facebook has a Cryto website recommendation. Which was the first kind of that type advertising for me. This Artificial Intelligence is something new and to me kinda scary. They seem to try to figure you out and live your life for you. Which may become a "Beast" to us as spoken in the Book of Revelation.

Hello @rockytopva,

It is just part of the world. Nothing more. I’m someone who believes all the mark of the beast stuff is over with. If you’re having issues with the reels. Don’t click on them. You’re gonna come across something that is bound to offended you. There is probably a function on there where when a certain video you don’t like pops up, you can tell the program “I don’t want to see this, or show me less of this type of content.” By clicking on some button whatever it may look like.

I go on chat sites where people are mean to each other and even can be mean to me, I just use the “ignore and mute” function… to make my chat experience a little better, all while remaining respectful in Christ to the best of my ability, I don’t have to listen to grown adults act like children.

I listen to grown adults act like children at school, enough already.
