FREE AT LAST

[Anonymous]

When Face Book started it’s shutdown on Christ centered posts on our site, as well as many other relative articles, we all knew it was a matter of time that either we would all have to bow down to their antichrist agenda and kiss their hand, or make provision to move on.

Even on my own personal Face Book site I was noticing that many of my posts were quickly being removed. All “share” buttons were removed, but not on other people’s sites. I was being told my posts were spam. Posts about the Lord. Good, educational and beautiful articles of Jesus Christ were deemed, “offensive.”

By whom? Who has the power to determine what is offensive?

As I understood by Face Book law, that our content was offensive, I really took that in, and realized that what is happening is that Face Book IS owned by the Satan. And it feels good to be able to say that. The bottom line is that they are offended by Jesus Himself. This feels good that we can now have this website where we can all express ourselves without control of the enemy. Let’s face it. Face Book has become ingrained in the average Christian life. The platform where many people have been sharing their faith with much good freedom. Well, at least at the beginning anyway. Now, it has evolved into a forum of bickering, and a doctrinal defense war zone. It has decayed.

I know first hand that many people have expressed to me that Face Book is the ONLY place where they can find fellowship. How sad. Really, think about that. The only place to fellowship they count on, has become the territory of Satan. I saw as time was marching on, that as long as everyone stopped posting about the truth, love of Jesus Christ, and the end time hope of the coming of the Lord, they were given a parental pat on the head and allowed by Face Book, the so-called privilege of posting. So long as they behaved.

I even found myself declining from posting what I normally posted, in lieu of half-hearted posts. Things I personally really did not find too important just for the sake of being able to post. I saw that those that were allowed full privileges were people posting recipes, or stickers with lavender teddy bears with pink hearts saying, “If you love Jesus click like and share.” I saw the bowing of God’s people to this entity and I came to a place within myself that rebelled against it, and made a personal declaration to not bow my knee or kiss the hand of Face Book. I am not desperate. I did not grow up with Face Book, and I know how to live without it quite well thank you.

I went so far as to only post my favorite Christian quotes from powerful Puritan authors, only to be taken down immediately. Then I reached a point that I decided that I had a choice. Either I was going to stop being myself in Christ and post things I would never post, or move on and regain traction. If the Lord is not welcome there, then I go with Him.

Face Book has a powerful hold on the minds of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Christians now. It has in all reality a dangerous, detrimental control over Christian lives. I have witnessed that a total panic comes over many I have conversed with at the mere mention of deleting their accounts. Fear over takes them and they are quickly overcome. They then decide to stay, but only for “fellowship.” It’s all about choice.

This is incredibly serious.

This must be looked at in the truth it deserves. If something has that much mental power to control a person’s will there is a big problem. Jesus does not need Face Book. He is in need of nothing. If we are in need of Face Book, a place that is making no apologies for hating Jesus, and counting him so repulsive, as something akin to the worst graphic images of a brutal murder scene. Then there is a big problem.

Though they (the Believer’s), also know these injustices are taking place, they “cannot” leave. They will not leave. It’s like a drug. It has immense control over the minds and hearts of the Believer’s of Jesus Christ. It is interesting how many sites filled with pornography, witchcraft, Muslims expressing all they want about their false God Allah. Their overt verbal and graphic Christian hatred with brutality, and a host of many other totally offensive things, having full privileges. But not the Believer’s in Jesus Christ.

I have reported several times the worst graphic images that would make a sailor blush, all to have Face Book Admins come back and say, “The posts that you have reported as being offensive, were viewed by Face Book Administration and we have concluded that nothing graphic, violent or offensive was found. Thank you.”

My own personal question is, “Why fight them?” “Let the dead bury the dead.”

With all this being said, I am glad that we have moved into our new forum. We are going to go forth in a new and powerful way, and intend to say it like it is, like it should be said. This IS freedom at last, at least until further government notice. In the mean time, I look forward to posting here and hope that many more will do so too.

Excellent post Joanie. Yes it is time that we took the power back and have a place here where we can speak freely without fear of Facebook or youtube police! Having done two stints in Facebook “jail” recently I know that the censorship there is only going to grow worse.

So here’s to starting up a place here in this forum where speaking truth is welcomed rather than censored!

Hello all! This is my first time posting here…. Thank you for the article Joanie.I agree how is it that Facebook is more important than our saviour? I personally find Facebook difficult because my husband is not saved so he gets upset when I post about God saying thast I’m going to look like a “fanatic”… so personally a minute to midnite is freeing! Thank you and God bless you all!

[Kimberly Kelly]

I also would like to say that Joanie is a absolutely correct in saying that this is the only fellowship for many of us. We moved from Ecuador back to Canada six months ago and since have had an awful time finding a church. Im very grateful for even this amount of fellowship!

I think you are in the same boat as many people who struggle to find a church that is a) relevant for today b) mot watering down the gospel c) not sucked into the NAR movement d) not actually a either front for, or influenced by essentially occult groups groups like Freemasons and secret societies.

Thank you for not only joining, but also for posting your thoughts here!

So true Joanie! I’m also one of those that depends on the online body of believers for fellowship. We haven’t found anyone around here that seems to get the whole picture.

Personally I was tired of facebook a few months ago when they started messing around with my page so have been going on less & less as I have been finding that they were constantly only putting up old news from AMTM on my page. Even going to AMTM facebook page was no joy as I found if I went on to like an article my page would then flip so that I lost the article & had a heck of a time finding it again so that I could add a comment if I so wished or go onto the next post. I have four other secular sites I download plus a couple of friends & had no problems with them. Their stuff comes through fine. So it is a blessing to be able to come here & be able to read what posts are on & to add something if I so wish. Also the biggest most glorious thing I might add is that there are no ADS!!! Hate those ads, they are the bane of my life! A lot of sites have more ads than actual content & it becomes very tiresome trying to read the article, so I end up giving up. I can see I am going to have a more enjoyable experience here & save a lot of time as well as frustration! So thanks guys!!! It is the best thing we have done. I just have to learn how to count better. Still trying to figure out why I thought 5+6 = 3 I must be a robot!!

Here, here Joanie! I have been saying for awhile that we need to look at alternatives as a community of like minded believers. The hammer was always going to come down on our freedom of speech and means of sharing important information the enemy does not want shared. This is great……thank you AMTM Team for doing this. Glory to the Lord!

Just got to get used to the new format now:).

We are really glad to have you here Carl. One advantage of this is that unlike facebook where posts disappear after a few days into the never nevers- here they will always remain able to be searched and added to. It take s a bit to get used to using it, but hopefully once you do it a few times it will get easier and easier.

I agree with you also Joanie and like someone else here I don’t know what I’m doing either…..so here I go jumping in the deep end. I have to work out how I’m going to post a photo lol. I think I clicked on seeing replies via email. No that’s not what I want. I want to take part here. From Technology challenged Liz

Very good insight Joanie! I’ve noticed that I have started to become very disinterested in Facebook and not really even looking to put a finger on as to why.After reading your article it dawned on me that Yahshuah is pulling me away from Facebook and I’m not bothered by it. I know some people who call themselves believers that will periodically post a religious post but then follow that up by 20 pro liberal political posts. I have had my two best friends of over 35 years of friendship go to their eternal homes in ln the last 11 months. I found myself getting sucked into FB and the more intimate I have become with Yahshuah knowing that he is closer than anyone on this earth the more he has allowed me to see Facebook is far from the answer I was looking for. This forum is I believe going to serve a much greater purpose than your Facebook page ever could. It seems like people can maybe forge better relationships on this forum than was possible on Facebook. Once again thank Tony for putting this together and Joanie thanks for speaking truth about Facebook and the fact that it allows superficial conversations but not the kind I think people at AMTM are looking for.

I’ve had posts removed from facebook also being told that I had breached their rules…..also my protests against horrible postings have had the same response as you got Joanie…..They didn’t breach Facebooks standards…..What standards!

Kimberly, we love what we do, and we know first hand how the enemy works to stop us, defeat us and try to squelch our joy. Even our family members can wind up being the one’s we least expected to attack us. We appreciate having you as one of our members! Keep you face to the Son. Keep posting here now on our group site! Shalom!
