Thinking of going Friends Only

[rkold]

I'm thinking of going Friends Only. I woke up this morning to see that someone named brittreviews had friended me and I'm just not in the mood for them to see all my entries.

If someone I know has different political and religious viewpoints than I, but shares a common interest in something else, I can understand why they friended me and they can ignore my posts on subjects they don't agree on and I can do likewise. But it makes me extremely uncomfortable to have someone whose religious views differ so from my own and who as far as I can tell shares no interests in common with me reading my LJ posts.


EDITED have banned the above user from commenting on this LJ and will do so in the future if similar situations occur.

I'm not sure about going flist only, but I am definitely going to lock anything more personal from now on.

Not that I need to comment, obviously, but I cannot see for the life of me why this girl has added you. I can only think that she made some sort of typo and was aiming for someone else, because there is absolutely nothing in her journal or profile that suggests she'd have any interest in your entries, much less you as a person.

I got curious and clicked. Wow, that's bad. That first entry at the top is pretty offensive.

I don't know there are plenty of Christians who think its their duty to try to save everyone else. I've banned them from commenting on this LJ and I am going to be spending the next week flocking most entries in between working on my trip and doujinshi. I wish there was a way I could kick them off my flist. I will probably change my info in my profile as well.

I've not read any of their posts but reading their profile and interests was enough to make me wonder why they friended me.

I'm with Becky, I think she might have been trying to friend someone else because I can't see why she would friend you. Like...at all.

And really, in response to her offensive first post, wouldn't it actually be really douche-y of God to go "Hey, check out how awesome Heaven, oh guess what? You can't stay GTFO"? If you are convinced you are going to heaven, then you certainly aren't pious or humble and therefore are probably committing all sorts of crazy evangelical sins. What a nutjob, and what poor spelling and grammar.

But to be honest, they sound like they are probably a young teen. If you've banned her from commenting, I doubt they are going to be any trouble, so I don't think a full on flock is really necessary, unless it's something you've been thinking about doing before this. I just wouldn't give her the time of day.

Yeah, banning might be enough but honestly, it just pisses me off. I wish LJ would make a control that would let you kick someone off from following you.

I didn't even read her posts, her profile was enough to tell me that this is not someone I want reading my LJ or commenting at all. Though if she believes Heaven is someplace like that then I'd really rather not be there as who wants to be with a God that is that cruel?

I'm just concerned she is one of the missionary types and has decided she needs to "save" my soul.

Fortunately, it looks like they unfriended me either because it was a mistake or because they were banned from making comments or both.

The only fic I write tends to be slash and I suspect a super religious Christian is not going to be terribly keen to read about that. lol Though honestly I'm a horrible writer both in terms of content and the fact I'm incredibly slow about writing anything. I know a few prolific writers and I'm not of their number. now going to Japan, that I am prolific with

I tend to share so much that is overly personal, but this really makes me even rethink what little I do share.

I just don't feel comfortable with this sort of situation, I'm very sensitive and overly suspicious because of the christian groups that think it is their duty to target Jews for conversion. Despite whining I have no desire to be another religion.
