She has that right, but there's a simple fix...Just change your privacy settings so that only you can see them.

Wow. My heart goes out to you. I’m so very sorry.

Yes, it's sad, but please follow her request.

Nasty, using the kids as ammunition! Sorry for you!

Whatever did we do 30 years ago when we only had photo albums?
???

I sympathize with your frustration but alas you can only abide by her wishes with her child. Hopefully he will grow up and make better religious choices

Fundy? haven't heard that before... fundumentalist?

What is the harm in respecting her wishes for privacy? I mean, cult aside, there are people who value their privacy, and that of their children, enough to NOT want to post pictures or have them posted on their behalf. Look at how many here have no pictures posted, when this is, at least at some level, a dating site.

I get being proud of your grandkids and wanting to show them off but, slip on your parent hat, add a dose of mild paranoia and ask yourself if it really is an unreasonable request. If you wouldn't, or mightn't, do the same were you that age in todays world (again, without the cult influence).

As for the cult thing... some paths have to be walked before people understand that those really are nails and broken glass they are walking through. Sometimes you are so enamored at the new attention you are getting, you don't feel the pain of your feet (life) being shredded.

Fb has had security issues. So even if its in a private family account you still don't know for sure how safe the pics might be. When i saw you started the post with "My fundy daughter" I was anticipating an outrageous and potentially heartbreaking story about an indoctrinated loved one in as much trouble as thinking they should refuse medical attention (because god will heal them) or something as terrible. What she is requesting sounds like she is being a parent perhaps erring on the side of caution in protecting her child-thats not so crazy. I certainly wouldn't let it cause any kind of turbulence in your relationship with her. It would be more beneficial to have maintained your relationship with her through things like this that aren't such a big deal so if there ever are potentially harmful issues that come up in connection with her beliefs you will still be someone she respects trusts and may heed advice from...

so take them down. as far as if she wants pictures of her kid on the internet, thats her choice. unless its hurting him, she has every right not to want that. im not saying i agree, i have pics of my kiddos posted, but its still up to her. as far as the cult thing goes as a whole tho, watch that like a hawk. that could turn dangerous quick. im all for respecting a parents right to decide whats best for their kids until it becomes an issue of the kid being harmed, thats not cool. and even tho i say its her choice, im not saying its not a clear sign that it may turn south.

My immediate reaction is to worry about the fate of your grandson. Sorry if that sounds alarmist.

wow! hope she doesn't drink the kookaid because it'll get her nowhere

Didn't expect to be making fruitcake with that egg, did you?

Wow... and I thought my family was nuts. My sympathies.

From a non-religious perspective, it's still a good idea. Posting photos of children, with the ability of social media to access their personal data and addresses, is said to be unwise.

I thought that the cult died with Jones.

That's messed up. I'm sorry.
