The Silent Christian Secession
Gab News ^ | February 1, 2021 | Andrew Torba

Posted on 02/02/2021 11:47:10 AM PST by boxlunch

Over the course of the past week Gab has been deplatformed by one of our banks, a business we were working with to source new server hardware, third-party infrastructure analysis software, and even our accountant.

This isn’t anything new for us. We’ve been deplatformed by 25+ service providers including both app stores, PayPal, dozens of payment processors, hosting providers, email services, and more.

When this happens I rejoice and praise God because I know that He is working to separate the wheat from the chaff. This deplatforming inevitably reforms Gab into an even more resilient community, business, and platform. We don’t just sit around and whine when these things happen, we immediately get to work.

We aren’t victims, we are builders. Personally I don’t believe the common Christian mantra to “be in the world, but not of the world” means giving the enemy our money, time, and data.This has got to stop, right now.

John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

I am in the process of transitioning every part of my financial expenses to support Christian businesses, Christian media companies, Christian content creators, and Christian people.

I am done giving my money to The Enemy and funding the destruction of our country and values. I encourage everyone else to do the same. If they are not serving God, they are serving Satan and I’m simply not going to fund that activity.

Deeply examine the businesses, brands, and media companies you currently support both financially and with your time. If they are virtue signaling critical theory nonsense or owned by demons you should immediately stop paying them and using their services. At this point we have no choice but to “build our own” everything. That starts by supporting those who are already building and share our values. It’s not about simply building our own social networking platforms anymore, it’s about building our own Christian economy. One without cancel culture. One that doesn’t embrace the demonic and degenerate cult religion of critical theory.

Critical theory (cultural marxism, the cult of social justice, etc) is a fraudulent, vapid, and pathetic subversion of well-meaning Christians, churches, and Christian values in general.

It lures decent God-fearing people into practicing a false and demonic pseudo-religion designed to accelerate their spiritual and literal demise. It preys on the malleable minds of our youth. It enslaves those who practice it and seeks to destroy those who do not.

It is a demonic imitation gospel and most certainly not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It must be mocked, shunned, and rebuked by all Christians. Now is not the time to sleepwalk through history on this subject. We must know the enemy’s fake gospel better than they know it themselves so we can lead others away from it and towards to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Talk to your kids about these things. Homeschool them if at all possible. Cut the cable cord. Delete the Big Tech apps from their phones and your own. We have a lot of work to do, but remember that we have the Creator of the Universe on our side. Through Him all things are possible.

I was talking about some of these things with a friend this morning and she used a term that made a lot of sense to me: “the silent secession.” At the moment this secession is largely digital and economic, not geographical, but perhaps that will change at some point in the future. I, for one, am in full support of Jesusland.

America is a Christian nation. The foundation of Western Civilization itself is built on Christianity and more specifically: on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. The second that changed is the second the destruction began.

Our Christian “kindness” and “tolerance” have fueled our own destruction and have been weaponized against us. Tolerance is not a Christian virtue. We are commanded to hate that which is evil (Psalm 97:10, Romans 12:9) not to fund it and give our time to it.

We have naively believed that pagans and others would not cut us down the moment they got into power as we are seeing unfold before our eyes over the past few decades. Lesson learned. A tough one to learn, but one that has been learned many times throughout history.

1 John 2:15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

It’s time to start adhering to this Biblical standard.

A fantastic article for Christians wondering what we can do in the face of increasing censorship and oppression. There are many areas we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work, and this outlines some ideas for a few areas to begin.

Names one phone carrier that is Christians.
Name one internet provider that is Christian.
Names one bank that is Christian.
...... Just to start the list of questions.

What sin did Gab supposedly commit to justify all of the de-platforming?

Yes - very very difficult since we are starting from scratch in several areas. I think finding a local bank owned by Christians is probably the easiest of the suggestions.

This has to be one of the top priorities for wealthy Christians, to invest in these types of services.

A very minor point in an otherwise effective article: "Jesusland" sounds like a theme park; Christiania, or Trinity Republic, have more of the sound of a nation's name.

Same here. I’ve found life goes on very nicely without all of those, better in fact. And I’m determined to get more active and involved in my local community. (Not that I wasn’t before, but even more now)

What do you think? If they host Trump or any conservative, they are automatically far right wing conservative haters and must be STOMPED into the ground. Nothing more than that.

Well that settles it then. Then let’s just keep forking money over to people who hate us.

Torba’s point is not that we can necessarily do this in full right away, but that we have to start building a parallel culture, economy, everything that makes a society work, but under the banner of Christ the King.

We are all voting with our wallets. If we use that wallet to vote for slavery, it’s our own fault.

“Delete the Big Tech apps from their phones and your own.”

Okay, but the OS of your phone is probably either google or Apple, so you’d have to delete the OS too. Might as well just toss the phone.

Like the FR recommended boycotts of various stores and companies, the only real end game is becoming Amish, and not many of us are willing to go there, certainly not myself.

There are huge business opportunities for conservatives and Christians who have the backing and business acumen to start some of these up. Can you imagine? You would have 75 to 80 million subscribers instantly!!

With all the other work we have to do on election fraud, getting corrupt judges disbarred, ousting paid of corrupt legislators, we cant do any of this without access to the backbones of activism, which is access to the internet and our own TRUTH media.

I hope there are power conservatives looking at this right now because I’m afraid our window will be short at the rate things are going.

There are right now people working on a conservative friendly phone that is never Apple or Android, so not beholden to either of those evil big tech companies. Not sure how far they are in development, but I will definitely switch when it comes out.

Yes, I’m trying to find everything secondhand.

I’m really enjoying the book hunt, no more ‘books’ that aren’t printed to paper.

No more books from living politicians or media personalities.

There are credit unions:

Problem is it is based in California. Does serve anywhere. Hard to find ones to visit locally.

This one in Michigan only serves four counties:

I dont agree. I believe we can keep searching and pushing for conservative alternatives. There is Patriot Mobile which is a mobile phone service. There are all the alternatives to social media, which are struggling right now but I believe they will figure things out. I’m hoping Trump will use his influence to get an alternative media company going to rival the PravdaMedia, maybe buy or invest in OANN or NewsMax to bump them up to a really competitive level.

We cant just give up!

Looks like it uses the usual operating systems. Saw an article yesterday stating that “they” want to block “us” from the internet.

Can we seriously move fast enough and guess their next freedom stopping maneuver? Answer unknown.

was just watching Newsmax- they had on Mike Lindell- He tried to tell them that he was coming out with evidence of machine fraud on friday- but Bob Sellers kept talking over him the whole time- angrily- claiming newsmax isn’t allowed to say anything negative about dominion- problem is, newsmax was NOT the one making the case- Mike was- but wouldn’t allow him to say anything- even Heather Childers cut him off-

They asked him why Twitter censored him- he was answering the quesiton, stating that it was because he had evidence of the machine fraud- the two hosts immediately got all flustered and Bob got so nervous he asked the higher ups in newsmax to “get us out of here”, meaning he wanted them to cut Mike’s Microphone off

I’m not sure, but i think i heard Mike Call either him, or newsmax an embarrassment, it sounded like it, but it was hard to tell because Bobbie kept talking over Mike- loudly- nervously-

It was absolutely pathetic!
