The Silent Christian Secession
News GAB ^ | Feb. 1, 2021 | Andrew Torba

Posted on 02/02/2021 2:25:30 AM PST by spirited irish

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.

Plenty. Go check it out and see the many Christian groups—from traditional Roman Catholics, to Orthodox, and Protestant, to an increasing presence of Christian broadcasters such as Todd Starnes.

This is the only way forward for us. Decouple. I began the journey in 1977 when I left all the TVs with the ex. It’s been uplifting and enlightening.

Andrew Torba, the owner, is not one to hide the lamp under the bushel. He proclaims his faith daily. You can speak of Faith in Our Lord openly, without fear of being deplatformed on Gab.

Also, the performance/speed has improved dramatically.

Sleazy pornographers and grifters on gab have a lot of nerve calling themselves Christians. But whatever. Christians are often foolish and will believe anything.

Currently, your social media choices are limited. Do you prefer Twitter or Facebook? They have worse.

A large influx of Christians and Trumpists will provide a push to ask the porn pushers to go elsewhere.

You write as though chatting with other Christians was the fulfillment of our commission.

“You write as though chatting with other Christians was the fulfillment of our commission.”

Is our commission to chat with others only about topics we are allowed?

Apparently Franklin Graham is a grifter too since he also posts on GAB.

"You write as though chatting with other Christians was the fulfillment of our commission."

I never said any such thing. You did. If you frequently make vast leaps in accusatory assumption, conversation would be impossible.

"Is our commission to chat with others only about topics we are allowed?"

A' to the point' comeback. Many Christian writers--apologists, evangelists, worldview analysts, commentators, and others are relocating to GAB precisely because they have already been deplatformed or are under pressure to 'vacate the premises.' My Christian Facebook page has been in FB jail for about two months now. Seems I'm guilty of posting truth, excuse me, "false news" in NewSpeak. And sooner rather than later I expect to hear that my blog is in violation of political correctness.

We are not Christians who have been "chatting with each other" but with worldwide readers. Moving to GAB provides us with a safe platform for the continuation of our ministries. But I think you knew this, hence your pithy response to the detractor.
