It may not be important to everyone, but to us who are truly born-again Christians, I believe it's important.
What is it?
Well, the topic is Freedom of Speech.
As I've mentioned in the past, our Canadian government has created new law that prevents Freedom of Speech.
While being on Facebook (FB), I share postings that I feel are important. Plus, I share LwL entries on groups that I am a member of, or groups I've created, or groups on which I am an administrator.
In the past, I never had any problems. However, this year... 2017, I've had nothing but problems being able to share postings.
In fact, not only was I prevented from sharing postings many times earlier this year, it's been worse this fall.
Since near the end of September, until the end of October, I have been blocked from sharing to groups on FB, three (3) times. Please, understand... it's not just for three (3) days. Each of the three (3) times was one (1) week, each time.
This means that out of about five or six (5 or 6) weeks, I wasn't able to do my Christian posting on FB, for three (3) weeks!
Yes... three (3) weeks!
At first, I wasn't sure why this happened. Then, I came across an article that I thought I would discuss with you as to why I thought it was happening. I would have written it in October, but can't recall when it was/will be posted here on LwL. You see, I write many, many entries in advance.
However, when what I was experiencing on FB, was happening to many other Christian friends, I decided to try to locate the article that I just mentioned about reading.
I didn't find that same article. However, I found another similar article. But, it wasn't just recently posted on the internet. It was posted last December... 2016!
Wow! I was shocked.
After reading the article, I shared it on FB so that my FB friends would be able to read the article. By reading it, they could possibly understand why FB doesn't want anyone to post Christian items/links/articles, etc.
Here is what I posted on FB. You'll see it has a link to the article. Please read it.
searched online to find the article I read the other day, but couldn't find it. Instead, I found a similar article that was posted online, last year! I'm sharing it with you, because it seems that possibly this is the reason FB is blocking many of us Christians, for posting, here on FB. Freedom... is being removed. Please read it. Thank you. Blessings...
In case you couldn't click on that link, I decided to share with you the link, through this Blogger system, so you can click on it, to read the article by reuters.com entitled, German courts should go after fake news on Facebook now: Minister: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-facebook-fake/german-courts-should-go-after-fake-news-on-facebook-now-minister-idUSKBN1470CN.
Did you read the article? Hopefully, you did. If so, you would have seen what the article stated. In case you didn't, I decided to share with some of what was stated... but, I couldn't, because the article's website won't allow copying/pasting.
Oooeee! Talk about frustrating!
Hopefully, you read the article. If you did, you'll know that it said (I re-typed part of it)... "German judges and state prosecutors need to crack down straight away on fake news disseminated through social media platforms such as Facebook, Germany's Justice Minister Heiko Maas said in an interview published on Sunday."
" "Defamation and malicious gossip are not covered under freedom of speech," Maas said, just days after other top government officials called for legislation to tackle "hate speech" and fake news on Facebook and other social media platforms."
Sigh...
Here is link to an article by wnd.com entitled, MUSLIMS TEAM WITH ANTIFA TO OBLIGERATE CRITICS OF 'RELIGION OF PEACE': http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/violent-weapon-to-obliterate-critics-of-religion-of-peace/.
I'm sharing some of the article with you (I copied/pasted):
Just as we read, in 1 John 2:15, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
Islam is a “religion of peace,” its advocates in Western nations claim, and they’re willing to go to extraordinary lengths to protest, intimidate, and smear anyone who presents facts that would indicate otherwise.
There are new indications that forces on the left are building coalitions with Muslim Brotherhood fronts and fanning out across the U.S. in search of meetings, conferences, even informal gatherings where Islam might be discussed in a negative light.
The latest attempt to shut down a meeting in which a speaker was planning to provide information critical of Islam occurred in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Ron Branstner, a researcher based out of St. Cloud, Minnesota, had booked space at the Sioux Falls History Club for Oct. 26. This is a club that has a 100-year history of discussing world events from the perspective of free and open debate.
But while driving to the event Thursday night, Branstner received phone a call from the venue and was told not to come. A powerful Democratic politician with connections to the history club had been contacted by a Muslim lawyer named Taneeza Islam.
Apparently, that’s all it takes in Sioux Falls to shut down the First Amendment, said Branstner, whose presentation was focused, ironically, on Islam and the First Amendment.
“I was going there to speak about the First Amendment, our first right to free speech, and how it is being stolen from us,” Branstner said. “We ended up having to change the venue to another town 27 miles away and so everyone had to drive 27 miles to hear my presentation.”
Oooeee!

When they find them, they pounce.

The female Muslim attorney, Taneeza Islam, has connections to radical Islamist Linda Sarsour and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. She is involved with the Islamic Center of Sioux Falls, the same mosque that protested former Muslim Shahram Hadian’s speaking event earlier this year in the city.
Taneeza Islam is a Bush Foundation fellow and civil-rights activist who also works as an immigration attorney, representing Muslim refugees and illegal aliens from Central America. She also pushes the idea that all who object to unlimited refugee resettlement and illegal immigration in America is a “white nationalist.”
Islam promotes the #CounterACThate meme on Facebook which tries to shut down and destroy ACT For America chapters holding meetings to educate people about Shariah law.
Oooeee!
Sigh...
Reading about this, plus what Germany is doing, in addition to what Canada is doing, is truly heart-breaking for me.
Why?
Because people like me, who are speaking truth to educate people with the reality of Islam, are being hated for speaking truth.
I must admit, I do not love the world. And, everything that is happening, now.
I'm glad that God supports me though, for He truly does not want us to love the world.
Sigh...
Our world is truly horrible. Especially, now.
But, this makes me realize that we are truly in end times.
End times, refers to time not long before the rapture will happen.
I praise God that the rapture will happen.
For Jesus will take each and every born-again Christian, who is part of His family, from gravesites...plus those who are alive... to Heaven. Just as we read in the Bible.
Don't believe me?
Read the Bible. Then you will know truth.
Until next time...
