People need to sort out their Facebook terminology. What the TS talks about, is BLOCKING. What the rest of you talk about, is DEFRIENDING.

Now, I am an unofficial social media expert (what can I say, I am an extrovert, I have an almost sickening need to express myself) and I know the difference. I have been blocked once by a guy from my school who I argued with a lot, I think he wasn't used to women looking past his pretty exterior and telling him he was a narcissistic bastard, but enough about that.

Anways, when someone BLOCKS you, they don't just defriend you. They make themselves "invisble" to you. If you search for them, you can't find their profile. You can't see anything they post, not even in groups you both are in or on a shared friend's wall. In other words, to you they don't exist on Facebook. Getting a separate accounts works because if you THEN can find them and see what they write, then you know for sure they have blocked your primary account.

So it seems like TS has experienced this, which is very unpleasant - especially if many people do it.

Can you think of anything that could've ticked them off? Political posts can do that, or inappropriate posts (over-sharing, sexually related posts etc.), but it could also be something you've done or said to someone in the church group who has "spread the word". I would actually just ask, even if it is a bit awkward, to find out. It's possible you have been misunderstood or it's possible those people are really bastards.

Best wishes to you in this
