Censored by Facebook AGAIN, & the B³ Apparel Line!

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

This was not the opening to this post that I was hoping for…but…the Facebook bulldozing machine is at it again. If you remember back in February, Facebook censored my prolife post about Andrew Cuomo signing the Reproductive Health Bill, allowing abortion up to birth. Theyblocked me from promoting it.

Well…their true colors are showing, because yesterday, they did the SAME THING with my prolife post about praying in front of Planned Parenthood!!

I am so angry, that I have no words. NO. WORDS.

I’m telling you – the mainstream media has such an agenda out there, folks. And it is just so upsetting how they’re silencing conservative voices, and squelching anyone who doesn’t align with their efforts to redefine American values.

What a huge disappointment.

*sigh*

The timing is peculiar though – speaking of spiritual warfare. Because the notification that my article had been blocked came on the very evening I went to pray in front of Planned Parenthood for the second time. This second time, I didn’t get attacked by a bird, but apparently, I was thrown another flaming arrow, this time in the form of social media censorship. Fan-frickin’-tastic.

But. I’m letting that go, because I actually have a really exciting announcement tonight.

But first, allow me to set the stage.

One of the first things that people ask me, when they hear the name of my blog, is What does BeautyBeyondBones mean?

I think that since this has its origins as an anorexia recovery blog, most people assume that the “Bones” in the title correlates to that. But actually, that’s not the case.

One of the most meaningful stories in the Bible – at least to me – is from Ezekiel 37: The Valley of the Dry Bones.

There are all these, dead, dry bones shriveled up in the desert. And Jesus breathes life into the bones, and they come together and form a strong army.

“This is what the Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” Ez 37:5

And you will come to life.

Come to life.

That’s been the cornerstone of my recovery from anorexia: embracing the life that Jesus died to save. To fully come to life, and embrace the freedom of a life in Him. A life deemed worthy by His blood. To embrace it and live it to the full.

Every single day, He invites us to come to life. He invites us to lay down at His feet, all those things we’re hanging onto, and that prevent us from living in the freedom that He purchased.

So…with that, I’m excited to announce that today, I’m launching a B³ apparel line!

My B³ line emphasizes that invitation to “Come to life” – in however that applies to your life: be it recovery, your relationship with Christ, your relationship with yourself, or simply embracing a life of abundance. Come to life.

My shop offers t-shirts, hoodies, hats, bags, mugs and more – in several B³ styles, and an array of colors, that is stylish for both men and women.

And it’s just understated enough to be the ultimate of classy.

I really wanted to create pieces that would be conversation starters. Because, at the end of the day, all I want to do is share His love, and share His hope.

Come to life – for me that looks like continuing to care for my body, and treating it with love and respect. It’s embracing love and friendship. It’s saying “yes” to opportunities that come my way. It’s sharing my heart with others. And always making time to give thanks to God for the new creation He’s creating in me.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart for checking out my apparel line. All your purchases help support this blog ministry, and allow me to keep BBB going!

“This is what the Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” Ez 37:5

  1. I’m not surprised. Facebook has chosen to back the losers; and as a result of its total irrelevance, it’s a dying platform. In my opinion, it’s not dying fast enough. If you haven’t already, start looking into alternative tech platforms such as Minds (https://www.minds.com/) and Gab (https://gab.com/).

    Do not be put off by the mainstream media’s attacks on either platform (particularly, Gab). Alternative tech is a threat to establishment dinosaurs such as Facebook and Twitter (another dying platform). There have been some hit pieces in the anachronistic media regarding Gab and its awesome tool Dissenter; but this is because the old farts of the media can’t handle any dissenting viewpoints (as you know).

    Yes, there are some nasty opinions visible on Gab. This is what freedom looks like: you take the stupid and ignorant along with the wholesome and intelligent. I’m sure you can block the stuff that’s offensive.

    You’re going to get censored more and more on Facebook; Zuckerberg is a Class-A, all-in Fahrenheit 451 Beatty: he loves to burn. You are a reminder to him and his book-burning minions that their opinions are wrong, and they can’t handle it when you hold up a mirror to their faces and force them to look at themselves.

    I know it seems discouraging, especially when social media is a big part of your ministry. I’m suggesting alternatives that will allow you to continue, even when they’ve eventually banned you from their echo chambers for Wrongthink. This persecution originates because you are having an impact and they don’t like it.

    You’re in my prayers.

  10. I honestly don’t think that it has anything to do with your content being Catholic, its more about it being conservative and pro-life. The world has gone all socialist, left field and full of liberalism in their views.
    Now I’m all for freedom of speech, freedom to believe whatever you wish.. I’m even all for rights of minorities, etc. I’m against racism, etc., but they make it out that anyone is of conservative view hates all these things and that simply is the opposite.
    People tell me that I have the right to believe whatever I want, but attack me for having those beliefs. So in the sense, they’re attacking the very same rights that you’re trying to enforce.

    It seems that you profile page isn’t your profile page on social media anymore, if you’re not peddling their beliefs.
    Welcome to the world that tells you one thing and does another.. double standards.

  12. So well done! Read your post at 4:00 a.m., because I couldn’t sleep. Here is the verse from Bible gateway for the day: “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.'” 1 Peter 2:24. This is proof to me that you’re divinely inspired. One thought: Try to move away from black in your new line. There is too much darkness in out society. God has given us a pantheon of bright colors from which to choose. All the Lord’s blessings to you. Applaud your standing for life! Our side is winning, and that is why Satan redoubles his efforts against the vigilant.

  13. I love Ez 37! On my 40th Birthday, I was so depressed. I felt so worthless and like a failure. I sat holding my bible and prayed for a word of encouragement. My bible fell open to Ez 37. The first thing I saw was, “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ez 37:3) I busted out laughing. God really has a sense of humor!
    Over the years Ezekiel 37 has become deeper and deeper for me. As a lay pastor I have preached on Ez 37 several times. It has such powerful imagery. I also love Ez 47. We are “the leaves of the Tree for the healing of the nations.”

  19. I do think that media is trying to silence voices that pertain to anything politically that is right sided. I personally support planned parenthood because of all the good they do (I was able to get fast and cheap check ups/ birth control appointments). However, you have every right to share your opinion. Nowadays people like to shun and ignore other peoples values and beliefs instead of embracing the fact that we are all different like we should be. We are all entitled to our own beliefs and opinions. We cannot attack people for sharing that.

  35. It’s both sad and disturbing how not only are we as Christians overly persecuted and scrutinized, but we are expected to be the most tolerant. Take solace in the words of Mathew 5:10-12 “God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great award awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted the same way.
    Keep living the Faith. God bless

Thankfully, I must have sent enough problem reports that they couldn’t ignore me anymore. We are going to face so much oppression when we are responding to God’s calling, but He stays victorious.

  40. Hello and thanks for following my blog. I agree with you about how it seems like some voices seem to be more accepted than others. These social media platforms began with the notion of “free speech” only to react and change their tune when is convenient.
    I am an atheist, but I understand and do cherish our First Amendment especially because it protects us all.
    We may not agree in our positions, but you certainly have the right to not only your personal views but more important to your faith, and this is the problem in our media- crazy world when it seems that only some views are cherished and others do not.
    I understand the good things social media platforms like Facebook have to promote blogs and products, but honestly I rather struggle or find other ways than use any platform that claims to be “inclusive” or “protective of people’s views” and when the moment someone complaints, they shut you down under the sorry excuse that it is their platform and they make the rules we all agree when we click “yes” in their opening page.
    I had Facebook when it began back in the Stone Age until I finally deleted the account (it is a draconian difficult but doable process) and have not regret the choice.
    I do disagree about the media conspiracy to reshape or to re-educate society. I do not think these companies even play fair with each other and do not trust each other enough to sit somewhere and plot and plan these conspiracies to change the world.
    After all, it is human nature and almost impossible to keep a secret between more than one person much less a conspiracy of this magnitude over the span of generations.
    I think is more about how media outlets craft media and what they do not say that what they do say.
    Furthermore, news media has become a profit-driven business that has to perform and make money for these media conglomerates or disappear, and with that they will craft and cover stories that are important to their demographics.
    Which leads to social media platforms, that also are also subjected to boards of directors and investors who want to see a return, and so they will cater to their demographics and will not care one second to censure, delete, or suspend your account even when they say all the right things about promoting ideas and debate (Not!)
    By the way, I do like your products despite my views and hope you can find a suitable alternative to promote your products.
    Thanks and sorry for the lengthy response.

It may be that our different world views cause us to see the world differently from each other. However we are on the same page where social media is concerned.

He gave hard hitting messages in a very inoffensive way. It works. I just posted a great anti-abortion “re-post” and it wasn’t blocked by Facebook. I didn’t compromise my anti-abortion message at all. It is powerful. But I did it “Mr. Rogers” style. Love the dry bones part. Your apparel line looks great. I have more to say, but I hear my cat calling me. She is nursing five kittens and I think she needs food. Got to go. Chow.

  43. Whether one agrees with you or not is really beside the point. Someone above mentioned the First Amendment and facebook seems to not know of it’s existance. Your right to express your feelings/opinions about controversial issues is guaranteed under the US Constitution. I think it’s shameful what they are doing when they deny you your right. I have mixed feelings about the topic myself, mainly due to my work with the poor and disenfranchised in my lifetime, but you strike me as being passionate about what your faith dictates to you and I respect that. So should the “editors” ot facebook and other social media platforms. You express your passion about abortion as well as other health related subjects intelligently.Keep doing that. Even a lapsed Catholic like myself admire you for it.
