We Live In a Time Where Freedom of Speech Has Been Curtailed, Whether We Like It Or Not
So, believe it or not, this is the type of ad that gets blocked on WordPress. This isn’t about offensive content: Ads are supposed to be eye catching. Ads are supposed to invoke a motivation to click. That’s what I was trying to do. The fact of the matter is justice is under attack. No matter your point of view, you know it’s true. Some people claim the President of the United States is weaponizing justice by going after political enemies. Others, like me, claim the same thing about the previous administration. But no matter your point of view, there is ample belief in America that justice is under attack.
I could go down the list, making a case for everything on this ad. But it’s not about accuracy. The new word is “Proselytizing”. Apparently in the modern woke age, anything that might even possibly be ‘offensive’ is exempt from 1st Amendment Rights. Now in the interest of full disclosure, they gave no reason at all for my rejection. I even contacted WordPress, and the person I spoke to said there wasn’t any stated reason why my ad had been rejected. Whoever rejected it didn’t state why.
This is a reply from Microsoft’s Ai, Copilot on the possible reasons my ad was rejected.
Here’s what likely triggered the rejection:
- Religious messaging: Many platforms restrict ads that promote a specific faith or call people to religious action. They often classify this as “proselytizing,” which they don’t allow in paid ads.
- Sensitive topics: Ads that reference crime, justice, fear, disasters, or global warming can be flagged as “sensitive content.” Even if true, platforms worry about ads that might be seen as alarming or politically charged.
- Policy scope: WordPress’s advertising policy explicitly bars ads that could be considered political, religious, or controversial. They want ads to stay in “neutral” categories like products, services, or lifestyle content.
So the rejection doesn’t mean your message is wrong — it means the ad channel isn’t designed for that kind of message.

Welcome to America folks, at least the postmodern version. Where the truth is subject to opinion. Where free speech is permissible as long as no one is offended.
Let’s take a what if: What if the Bible is real? What if the Bible is exactly what it claims, the genuine Word of God? What if hell is a real place, and this life determines if you will spend eternity there? Just entertain me for a moment. What if the Bible is real, hell is real, and what you do here determines where you will spend eternity. Don’t you think it would be the duty of those who have accepted Christ to warn others? Wouldn’t it be selfish of me, to store this gift within myself and not tell others?
The bottom line is this: It is my belief that anyone who would simply open their minds long enough to simply read for themselves the evidence of the Bible. No other document on the face of the earth claims to know the end from the beginning and has proven itself true, by predicting events that have already happened. So far, there have been exactly 0 (zero) prophecies that have failed to come to pass. That’s a bold claim. And that’s why my website exists.
So the next time you’re thinking about your civil rights, those rights whom our founding fathers claim were not given to us by the government, but by God himself, remember they only apply as long as someone isn’t offended.
18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” – John 15:18-20 ESV (the words of Jesus)
