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?
 
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.
