________________
"Precious in the site of the Lord is the death of His godly ones." (Psalm 116:15)
We
are coming to the end of another momentous year, and it has been a
strange, sad and yet hopeful one for me. Four people whom I loved went
on to be with the Lord Jesus this year: my father, Pat LaBarbera (see
bottom of this email); my best friend Brian Fitzpatrick (shown at right at an Americans For Truth rally); and AFTAH benefactors Peter Huizenga and Ray Young--two of the finest Christian men God has given me the pleasure of knowing.
The Christ of Christ-mas was, in the final analysis, their hope. He is
mine, too, and I hope He is yours. My dad--who was a great husband to my
mom and father to me, my four sisters and my younger brother
Jimmy--humbled himself and accepted Jesus as Savior very late in life.
For that I will be eternally grateful.
My friend Brian, once an atheist, was born again in the Lord (John 3) on May 24, 1987 (he put that date on his license plate), and lived for Him from that point onward. Please share his Christian testimony in this blessed holy season. I will miss him but we'll meet again!
Ray Young and Peter Huizenga were faithful Christian family men and
businessmen who put Christ first and never once even considered backing
away from biblical Truth, in an age when so many find a way to do just
that.
In their honor but more in God's honor, we at Americans For Truth press
forward with our noble yet politically incorrect mission. This has been a
very interesting year: AFTAH became a microcosm of the Left's evil and
homo-fascist "social media censorship" strategy designed to suffocate
social conservatives in the Public Square. Heck, we even got a visit by
the FBI! ... read on:
Our Americans For Truth Facebook page was "unpublished" and then "erased" after leftist complaints.
My personal Facebook page has twice been put on 30-day hold
after a frivolous "hate violation." (I'm currently still in FB "jail"
but I will be "set free" Monday--oh boy, thanks Mark Zuckerberg!)
My Twitter page was blocked based on an absurd "hate" warning about a post showing a nasty, anal-sex-promoting "gay" activist giving his critics the finger.
AFTAH's website was taken down for two weeks following a frivolous and deceitful complaint by "gay" activist and convicted sex offender Adam Flanders (shown at right).
Wasting the FBI's Time & Resources: Flanders
later complained to the FBI and they actually sent an agent to my home
on Oct. 26! The agent asked if I planned to harass or threaten Flanders
in California. I said of course not, and alerted him to Flanders'
history of harassing conservatives with false "stalking" charges. The
agent knew that the complaint was meritless but said the Bureau was
obligated to check it out. The litigious Flanders is now threatening to
sue me (and other social conservatives).
Despite
all this, we at Americans For Truth keep on doing exactly what the
LGBTQueer Lobby is trying to stop us from doing: speaking out in the
media against a nefarious and revolutionary sexual agenda that threatens
to silence Christian conservative speech even as it corrupts the hearts and minds of young children.
We'll never quit, because the LGBTQ Lobby never quits, and because it's God's Truth, not ours. I echo what my friend the late Peter Huizenga told me, "I will never give up on God's Truth."
I am not intimidated by this Sin Movement, which must be resisted
aggressively, even as its errant followers need the love and forgiveness
of Jesus. (AFTAH from its inception has boldly defended EX-"gays" like
my brother in Christ, Stephen Black.)
Here is the AFTAH media page link,
which contains only a portion of our many media appearances this year.
Americans For Truth reached hundreds of thousands of people in 2018 --
citizens hungry for someone to give it to them "straight,"
unapologetically, about Big LGBTQueer.
These days, even many "conservatives" are afraid to oppose
homosexuality--and the Republicans have nearly abandoned this
crucial moral issue. But not AFTAH.
Below
is a list of our most recent articles. The Americans For Truth website
is a go-to site for people all over the world who are looking for
someone to communicate the "Truth About Homosexuality," minus the Left's
and the media's propaganda filters. (And believe me: we still have not
gotten close to conveying the full depravity of the
Lesbian-Gay-Bi-Trans-Queer agenda.) ____________________________

Hey all, we have an opportunity to stop LGBTQ legal activist Chai
Feldblum at the EEOC, thanks to Sen. Mike Lee, who has put a stop on her
nomination on the Senate floor. Feldblum is an atheist lesbian who
essentially believes that "gay rights" (and "trans rights") supersedes
Americans' religious freedom. Trump should never have reappointed her,
and perhaps he will rescind her appointment with enough pressure. All
the info you need is in this piece, and action points are below. Please
take a minute or 2 to make a call to Sen. Lee, your Senators, etc.,
especially if you're in a red state.
TAKE ACTION:
Thank Sen. Lee, online HERE, or by calling his DC office: 202-224-5444. His Salt Lake City office number is 801-524-5933.
Contact your own state’s U.S. Senators through the Capitol
Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and urge them to reject this anti-marriage
sexual revolutionary at the EEOC.
Contact the White House online HERE or
by calling 202-456-1111. Urge President Trump to drain Obama’s federal
LGBTQ swamp by withdrawing the (re)nomination of Obama appointee and
LGBTQ legal crusader Chai Feldblum.
Social media giant cites
“safety” concerns and being “respectful,” but by not respecting and
tolerating Christian conservatives’ views, is Facebook guilty of ‘hate’
and bigotry?
Facebook ‘hates’ conservatives (or at least their ideas): This
is the notice AFTAH received Sunday from Facebook. Jason Salamone is an
administrator of the AFTAH FB page. We are appealing the decision.
Facebook has “unpublished” AFTAH’s or Americans For Truth President Peter LaBarbera’s pages on previous occasions. [See full story HERE]

Dear Readers: my father passed away in July, to be with God. I
posted this note on Facebook, testifying to a miraculous blessing:
I
want to thank all of you who prayed for my father, Pat LaBarbera. He
passed away Sunday, July 23rd, in his home, quickly and, thankfully,
with minimal suffering. I'm overjoyed to report that my father gave his
life to Christ Jesus just days before he passed at age 87, in what I
regard as a miraculous and God-ordained encounter with hospice chaplain
Pastor Paul Nguyen. I was honored to be with him, in his "mancave," as
this happened.
My
philosopher-dad was one of those very smart people who sought answers
to the deep questions of life--some he could not fully know (in this
world). In the days leading up to his spiritual encounter with the
chaplain, he said he believed in God but not in Jesus as the Son of God.
That changed on July 19, as Pastor Paul graciously ministered the
Gospel to my dad. Ultimately, my father understood sin as "missing the
mark," and that as a sinner he, like everyone, needed Jesus to live
eternally with a holy God in Heaven. ("Whoever
has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not
have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the
Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life."--1 John
5:12-13)
My
dad said in his humbled sinner's prayer, "It is significant that one
man took upon himself the corruption of the entire world." Significant,
indeed. I am awestruck at the kindness and mercy that God the Father
showed my earthly father, Pat. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each
of you who faithfully prayed for him. Those prayers were answered,
glory to God!
“I
never wanted to be heterosexual,” says former “transgender” who once
“married” a woman. Was SCOTUS Obergefell decision based on a lie?
A Completely Changed Woman: Grace Harley of One Solitary Voice Ministrieswas
completely delivered out of sexual perversion 26 years ago. SCOTUS’
2015 Obergefell ruling authored by outgoing Justice Anthony Kennedy
falsely posits that homosexuality (“sexual orientation”) is “immutable.”
Folks, here is Rev. Grace Harley’s speech at AFTAH’s June 26 “Repeal Obergefell” press event in front of the Supreme Court, to mark the three-year anniversary of the judicial travesty of the Obergefell “gay
marriage” ruling. Every day I am confronted by LGBTQ activists who
insist that “sexual orientation” cannot be changed. And yet my friend
Grace testifies to the opposite–saying [go to 4:25] that she hasn’t had a
lustful sexual thought about women since her Christian conversion 26
years ago. Grace, like all of us, cannot change her skin color but she
praises the Lord that through His grace and power she radically changed
her sexual thoughts and disordered “transgender” lifestyle. (Her
reference to the “MCC” is for the Metropolitan Community Church, a “gay activist” church catering to unrepentant homosexuals.) ....
