Parler Is Inept! I'm Done With Social Sites

Screen print of Parler's captcha not recognizing my input.
This after over 50 rejections of what I typed in.

So I tried to join Parler. Their requirements for a password are as follows,

Use eight or more characters with at least one capital letter, lowercase letter, number, and special character.

So I did as they required. Yet, I was denied my chosen password 35 times before they accepted this password,

!9-chucK-56

Which begs the question, why did they deny this one,

!9-Chuck-20

Or this one

19Chuck-an-!2

Now consider this password they suggested I use

aCb-1fd3-Q!&m

Yet they rejected over 35 passwords I offered that were very similar to the one they suggested.

Finally a password I offered to their password god was accepted. So now I was onto typing the letters from the Captcha so they will know I am a real human. I figure I'm in like Flynn now.

Not so fast.

For the next 15 minutes, and after well over 50 or more tries, I could never get them to accept what I typed in. Now I'm used to captcha being used. After all, seems like 99% of the places you go to join, or when you order things online, you have to match the characters offered to prove your are human.

Well, after many moons (seemed like) of trying to get past the captcha menu, I finally took a screen print to prove to my wife that it's not me but their stupid software. After all, she was already getting tired of listening to me yelling at the monitor during my attempts to get a password accepted. Now this.

Mind you, she knows the troubles I have at with fb. So she has been pushing me to leave fb and join a different Social site that will allow it's users the freedom to share what they want and believe what they want. Well, I finally decided to join one. Then this happens.

So, since Parler will not allow me to join their site, I will not waste any more of my time trying. Their ineptitude is beyond rediculous.

I am fed up with these Social sites. I will not be joining Parler, because they won't let me. I'm finished with fb, since I refuse to waist any more of my time on posting things that less than 1% of my friends ever even see. I only have about 1200 friends anymore. I used to have almost 5000 friends, but I was suspended many times, had my account terminated a few times, and now everything I post gets shadow blocked, or removed for violating their rules. You know, the one's that say you can only share immoral communist propoganda ideas?

Well, they Win. I'm out of there. Goodby and good riddance to these moronic social sites. My experience is that Facebook is nothing more than a wing of the Democrat Party, and Parler sucks for their ineptitude.

They can all take a hike......

I’m guessing maybe more Christians already here than on Parler—or especially on Gab!

Umm, there are a couple billion people from around the World on fb.

I had 2000 friends on fb just from different countries. Some in Pakistan, India, Africa, and places where people could care less about American politics.

I was a frequent poster on a few fb groups that had over 4 million Christians from around the World. Trust me, I know for what I speak. Unfortunately the left controls fb. So I lost a huge Worldwide ministry.

Don’t get me wrong, FreeRepublic is the best Conservative political and Christian place for Americans to get together, but when was the last time you checked out a Christian post to get into a serious conversation about some Theological issue?

On a great awesome day, I may get about 10 to 20 comments, but 99.99% of the time I might 1 comment on a Christian thread I post to FR. The response to my posts are no different than the Christian posts started by any of a number of Christian Freepers on FR.

However I can post an article I write or shared from either a conservative site or a liberal site and get 100s of Freepers discussing another angle on the same political topic shared from the NY Times or the Wash post, or Brietbart, etc. etc. etc.

Heck, I actually get attacked by some Freepers for daring to post a Christian article I shared from my personal blog. Mind you, I post the full articles here, so there is no need for anyone to even visit my blog, but Freepers will attack me because I am not the NY Times, or any well know conservative site.

God wants us to go to the places that have few people as much as He wants us to reach people where there are many. To the ends of the Earth He tells us in Matthew 28:19, not just where we think the Christians are, because I need to reach the lost, and most of the lost on FR want nothing to do with the Christians posts we put up.

There may be more Christians here than at Parler or Gab, and many of us Christians have been trying to reach the lost here for years, but my fellow Freeper brethren will tell you that 99% of Freepers could care less about discussing anything that has to do with God, unless it the Christian subject also involves politics.

If they did, then Christians threads would never get ignored and they would regularly get 100 or more comments for Freepers.

So I do post here, and discuss what I post with anyone willing to do so, but I also use other avenues to reach others who never even heard of FR.

I never really thought of God as the ends-justify-the-means type.

I spoke too soon, now I can’t log in no matter what I punch in. Very frustrating.

So then why did so many of the early Christians give their life if the ends did not justify the means for them. They went where they knew they would be persecuted, because they followed Christ’s example.

Tertulian said that the blood of the martyrs is the seed that grows the Church.

As a Christian, my end game is for my life to be my offering to Him.

Where He leads me I shall follow, what He feeds me I shall swallow, if my time comes to and end, then my time with Him in eternity begins.

So for Christians, the end does justify the means, as long as the reason is to spread the Gospel.

As I said, their desire to be super secure, is defeating their purpose of becoming an alternative to fb.
