Facebook Censorship of Christians MUST STOP! Lawsuit underway!

I never thought I’d see the day when our country would come to a place where we were not allowed to share our views, thoughts, beliefs and opinions. This is a wake up call for all Americans! Our freedom of speech is disappearing before our eyes. If we don’t fight for our rights, our children will greatly suffer. There are so many areas where our freedom of speech is being stripped, but the biggest place where it’s happening the most is good ol’ Facebook.

If people can post death threats and violent graphic photos of sex, (which should be illegal) on their Facebook page, others who post stories of God’s truth and hope should also be allowed – if not featured posts. I have personally had my videos blocked on Facebook as well as people filling my inbox telling me they can’t share my posts or like my posts. I could really care less about if they hit the LIKE button. I want people to be able to share the content that I produce. Many other close freinds are having hte same issues on Facebook. However, one bold warrior for Christ, Pastor Rich Penkoski is in the midst of a lawsuit with the state of West Virginia and soon Facebook due to what recently transpired on his page.

Rich spoke truth in love regarding his relationship with the Lord and how God wants us to live according to his word so that people would come to a life saving knowledge of him. However, Facebook doesn’t like Jesus. They took his Warriors for Christ page down without any notice and without any reasoning. Rich had over 226,000 followers in less than a year! There was no hate speech on his page. In fact, he received much hate through Facebook users. One person told him,”You should go kill yourself. You don’t deserve to live.” What did Facebook do? Nothing. The love of Christ was too much for Facebook to bear and yet beheadings and death threats of Christians on other people’s pages were completely within Facebook rules and regulations! Are you kidding me?

Instead of hiding in a hole, Rich started a second page which had grown to over 6,000 followers in a week and AGAIN Facebook unpublished his page! Again with no explanation why! No posts were removed, it was just unpublished and all appear requests ignored. He is now on his third page Warriors for Christ on Facebook and yet his posts are now marked as spam. What do we have to do as Christians in order to share OUR views on Facebook? Change our names and keep starting over while the people who post the real hatred are constantly on the news feed? This is unjust and unacceptable!

I congratulate Rich for taking a stand. It’s long hours of dealing with details of the lawsuit while raising 6 kids and running a full time ministry and yet he’s DAVID fighting GOLIATH. If we don’t deal with this major censorship, our kids will have NO voice in the upcoming years.

Here is a recent episode of Hollywood Insider, where Carla D’Addesi and I ask Rich the tough questions about what went down with Facebook and how we can fight for our freedom of speech to remain in America. Watch this video and please share and post on your wall!
