When Peter has Fallen

What do we call it when a pope doesn’t act like a pope? That’s something modern Catholics struggle with, because for over a century, we’ve had some pretty good popes, including a few Saints! Catholics haven’t had to deal with corrupt popes, or even heretical popes, in a very long time. It’s been centuries. So […]

The Book of Revelation – Introduction

June 22, 2020.Reading time 37 minutes.

I have spent my entire adult life looking for the truth about God, the Bible, Jesus Christ and Christianity. The first decade was spent wandering through a sea of chaotic spirituality, rummaging through various Evangelical churches and mainline Protestant denominations. I even briefly delved into the foreign religions of Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses for a […]

I do not use FACEBOOK or TWITTER. This is due to increasing political censorship and religious bullying by those who run these platforms. I have no reason to use social networks that are bigoted toward orthodox Catholics. FACEBOOK and TWITTER are now designed only for people who like political censorship and don’t like religious conservatives. If that describes you, then by all means, continue to use these platforms. However, if you want a truly free-speech platform for social networking, I suggest you pick from the following options below…

MEWE is a private social network, similar to Facebook (a Facebook clone), but with much stronger privacy rights, no political or religious censorship, and no advertisements, since it is user-supported. This is where you can share family photos and personal status updates without fear of your privacy being sold to the highest bidder, or being kept in the dark about political or religious issues important to you. This platform also has an excellent smartphone app, with an all-in-one, private messaging system built in. It's the perfect replacement for Facebook and Facebook-Messenger. I maintain a verified account and public group on MEWE. Just click the image above to visit.

GAB is a public network, like Twitter in some ways (a Twitter clone), but with a much longer character limit. There is no political or religious censorship on GAB, so you can post whatever you want. GAB is user-supported, so there are no advertisements either. In fact, GAB is Christian-owned and the CEO has been interviewed by Church Militant. The CEO also advocates supporting Christian-owned business, and creating a Christian economy. With their own servers, GAB cannot be removed from the Internet like Parler was. However, there is no privacy on GAB, so you wouldn't want to share family photos there. It is perfect for getting non-personal ideas out into the public realm, and following your favorite personalities and pundits. I maintain a verified account on GAB.

MINDS is a public network, like Twitter in some ways, Facebook in other ways, and YouTube (a Twitter-Facebook-Youtube hybrid), but with a longer character limit. MINDS is also a blogging platform. There is no political or religious censorship on MINDS, so you can post whatever you want. However, there is no privacy either, so you wouldn't want to share family photos there, but it is perfect for getting non-personal ideas out into the public realm. This platform is also connected to crypto-currency and rewards you with free advertisement tokens just for using MINDS. You can also "tip" others for content you like, using free tokens the platform provides as a reward for using it. You can visit my MINDS channel by clicking on the light-bulb above.
