To not want to 'connect' with 'angels'

An old school acquaintance had an 'encounter with an angelic force' quite recently and has now set themselves up online offering remote angelic healing.

Which means my FB timeline is now plug after plug after plug about how connecting with angels could enhance my life, how angelic healing can sort out my anxiety etc etc.

I muted their page but now I'm getting invites every other day to events like 'Learn about your angelic guardians' and 'Angelic healing for sleep issues'. Invites from their 'work' page and their personal page.

I actually want to scream at them now.

AIBU to tell them exactly what I think about angels? (Which is THEY DO NOT FUCKING EXIST)

Or hide her from your timeline.

boredinthouse · 12/01/2021 10:57

Oops I see you've already done that. You can hide invites too I think

Pray for celestial intervention.

I'd just delete him, I don't have time for this crap. I delete friends who start MLM sales too. Gets on my nerves.

These people always prey on the most vulnerable - really depressing to think that someone who has suffered bereavement or mental health issues is being taken advantage of this way. I know some think it does no harm and may give some people hope or joy, but there is definitely harm I financially exploiting other's weakness, and potentially stopping them from seeking appropriate help.

I'd like to think angels have got more to be getting on with just now that helping Sarah from number 14 drop off of an evening.

Well quite. This is also my thinking.

But I am pretty vulnerable and it can really bother me when I'm low. I don't know how they can go from sensible person, who gave useful mindfulness advice to this:

'The more I allowed myself to explore my spiritual interests, the more I had such huge shifts in awareness and the spiritual coincidences, synchronicities and angelic visitations became profound and life changing.'

In just under a year.

Has she found the Akashic Records? The more you pay the more enlightened you get! Spiritual superiority all the way!

Just delete them from your fb, if they’re only an old school acquaintance it doesn’t really matter. Or just block them.

ProfMcGonigle · 12/01/2021 11:53

You say this person is an old school acquaintance. Why can't you unfriend them?

If it was a friend or family member, I'd understand but surely you have no commitment to this person?

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 12/01/2021 12:04

Ugh hate this sort of shit clogging up my timeline. Got a friend who has recently started doing a bitcoin type thing and keeps posting about it saying it has changed her life etc etc without actually saying what it is. She has been muted for 30 days. And don't get me started on Tropics either!

TodgerStrunk · 12/01/2021 12:09

I have an old acquaintance who posts inspirational shit like 'a problem is only a problem if you think it is' and who is very thick skinned about sending friend invites when I have enough and delete her.

BonnieDundee · 13/01/2021 12:31

What fresh hell is this

StealthPolarBear · 13/01/2021 12:33

Change your status on Facebook to something satanic

VettiyaIruken · 13/01/2021 12:33

Just unfriend them. They're not important to you are they? Just someone you happened to be at school with years ago.

Click. Bin.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 13/01/2021 12:34

Just delete them, I loathe sales pitches on my facebook, MLM friends get deleted too and anyone who posts pics about animal cruelty.

thepeopleversuswork · 13/01/2021 12:36

Honestly I would unfriend this person.

I have no time for this sort of thing at the best of times but I think it’s in fairly poor taste now.

MedusasBadHairDay · 13/01/2021 12:37

Unfriend and/or block - this would annoy the hell out of me

WitchQueenofDarkness · 13/01/2021 12:43

If you don;t want to unfriend then just unfloow and block her from being able to send you invites.

It's how I deal with some very left wing friends. I don't want to see the the stuff they post continually but they are much nicer in real life!

KarmaStar · 13/01/2021 15:26

Angels do exist,don't deny them.
But your friend sounds a bit like a scam if she's charging people.

No, better to say that you have been encountering angelic forces for years and you thought everybody had. You are can't understand why they have waited so long to get in touch with your friend!

CecilyP · 13/01/2021 15:39

Easy enough to unfollow. I have never blocked anyone but unfollowed someone whose life was even more boring than mine (yet she posted constantly) and another, not so much for her political views but, because she made out that uf anyone who didn't share those views it was because they were too stupid!

LiverColouredBitchPointer · 13/01/2021 15:53

The problem is that the angels want to connect with you!

Don't deny them, cripz! Halo

DK123 · 13/01/2021 19:28

Tell her the angels have told you that they will only speak to you directly, they don't want to go through a third party.

I had a "friend" who was into all this stuff, it was a load of absolute rubbish and she got quite carried away ripping vulnerable people off. I didn't want anything more to do with her when I saw what she was doing and I've cut off contact.
