Members SureWord Posted November 8, 2020 Members Share Posted November 8, 2020 In the middle of our service today Facebook decided to ban the stream citing a failure to follow FB standards. No explanation given. There was nothing political, nothing about Trump or voter fraud, nothing about Covid, just cut the stream to those stuck at home mostly elderly and infirmed. Get ready to see more of this. wretched, 1Timothy115, HappyChristian and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators HappyChristian Posted November 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'm sorry that happened! But, yes, FB is getting more and more totalitarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message was on Ephesians 3, spiritual blessings in Christ, so nothing that would be a threat to the Establishment's power and control over us. The only thing I can think of is they didn't like us not wearing masks. Yet, there's been no threats from the State or County nor has anybody been wearing masks since indoor services were allowed to be held again in June. Ironically, nobody at church has come down with Wuhan but our masking wearing Governor did.  HappyChristian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, might sound paranoid. LOL I was wondering why they were even watching our stream? If it was because we weren't all wearing face diapers then maybe someone flagged us but I just don't see who would. We are just a small Baptist Church that stays out of politics. We are no threat to their power structure. Even so, I don't believe wearing a medical burqa is part of their policies and standards.

Administrators Pastor Matt Posted November 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2020 So sorry to hear this. We're like you and no threat to facebook, but I am waiting of the day they decide to shut us down. SureWord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone totally unrelated to your church may have seen it and decided to just report it, just to be jerks, and of course, Facebook probably will do it, just because they're jerks. SureWord and HappyChristian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1Timothy115 Posted November 12, 2020 Members Share Posted November 12, 2020 None of us should be surprised but, thanks for letting us know. This is probably only the tip of this iceberg. Alan and HappyChristian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
