When I first converted, I felt that I had to hide my crosses from my parents. Then they came at Christmas. I could not hide the tree from them, and they never said a word. They actually complimented it. Boy was I surprised! I do not hide my crosses from them anymore. I am sorry you feel you have to hide the Hindu paintings. Maybe one day your family will be able to accept them. Sex toys, I would hide. My parents never understood why we needed a bigger blanket before we got married, they would never be able to handle sex toys.
