thing is L4H, you are not the first person I have heard make comments about this (unless it WAS you who posted something SOMEWHERE on CC a few weeks back about Amazons anitchristian "policy"- it was a news article link somewhere).


After talking bout current political events with hubs last night we concluded and questioned why the Christians this is happening to don't just ban together and file a HUGE discrimination suite against Amazon........

that really ticks me off, but more so is that they owe you so much and think they can withhold it from you!!!!??????
That goes way up on my prayer list.
Hi, Godsgirl83.

I didn't post the article that you mentioned (I joined less than 2 weeks ago), nor am I familiar with it, but I would be interested in reading it if you can find it.

As I type, my account is still terminated, and I haven't received any further emails from Amazon, even though I was told yesterday that they would get back to me. I suspect that I'll hear something from them before this day is through, but only time will tell.

The more that I think about what happened, the worse it looks for Amazon.

I mentioned yesterday my "Christian design" that I believe caused my account to be terminated, but it's definitely different from my other truly Christian designs.

In other words, all of my other truly Christian designs contained scripture as part of the designs, but this particular one did not.

Instead, it was merely an image of a cartoonish-looking bear with an angry look on its face with the words "NOT TODAY" above him and the word "SATAN" below him. In other words, it was a "NOT TODAY SATAN" shirt, and that is not only a commonly-seen phrase on shirts (for crying out loud, the WalMart near where I live sells "NOT TODAY SATAN" shirts), but there are a MULTITUDE of "NOT TODAY SATAN" shirts currently being sold on Amazon, and anybody could easily verify this for themselves by just going to amazon.com and typing "not today satan shirt" in the search box and clicking enter.

Here's the deal, though...

There are two distinct groups of people who sell t-shirts on Amazon:

1. Those who do their own printing and who sell on Amazon APART FROM Merch by Amazon.
2. Those who don't do their own printing and who sell on Amazon THROUGH Merch by Amazon.

In other words, Amazon seems to have different guidelines when people are doing their own printing as opposed to when they are doing the printing for them.

I can't quote you the message that Merch by Amazon sent us back in January because my account is no longer accessible to me, but in early January they informed us of updated restrictions that were going into effect in March, and these updated restrictions included design submissions which were offensive to other religions.

If my "NOT TODAY SATAN" submission is what got my account terminated, and I truly believe that it is, then this means that Merch by Amazon literally terminated my account so as to not "offend" SATANISTS!

THIS is why I presently believe they don't want to tell me why my account was terminated...for fear that I might contact the Media or something while exposing them as SATAN DEFENDERS.

Anyhow, I'm not the type of person to just let things like this go without a fight, so we'll see how this all turns out in the end.

morning Y’all. 😞☕️

Gloomy as hell outside, family drama trying to creep in and steal my already somewhat happiness cause it IS Friday, and it IS payday. control Freaks, “know it all’s” over critical people... I can’t stand those types...especially today...

in the blink of an eye I want it to be 7pm so my girlfriends can come over and have a nice girls night at my house with card games and wine. I just want NO drama today. At all.

If I didn't have a dishwasher my next step would be paper plates, cups and bowls and plastic ware lol
I have done this for short periods of time when I've known in advance that life would be TOOOOOOOOOOOO crazy to deal with messy dishes
oh wait......THAT'S EVERYDAY!!!! :LOL:
Well at least in times when I finally have the kitchen all prettied up and don't wanna mess it up TO much, like when I am hyper focussed on painting a room or something like that ;)

LOL goes to this:



and to this:





so sounds like it feels everythings going wrong........
let me ask you this:
What are you doing RIGHT ? :););):)
The answer to that question is honoring Christ while opposing Satan.

BELIEVE ME, what I'm currently going through is, in a very real sense, child's play compared to things that I've gone through in the past.

There are LITERALLY large numbers of people who absolutely hate my guts simply because I'm a Christian, so suffering for Christ's/righteousness' sake far outweighs anything that I'm currently going through, even though I believe that what is presently transpiring is directly related to Amazon's own contempt for Christ.

Yea, I never got that whole wash the dishes BEFORE you put them in the dishwasher thing.

I don't care how "safe" they claim it is.

If you consistently apply that type of heat to something, then it's eventually going to crack.

Heck, I fall apart if the temperature outside gets above 55 degrees Fahrenheit...lol.
actually, I get them done FASTER doing it by hand.
FINALLY got my new dinnerware set ( I will spare ya'll by NOT writting the novel of that experience :rolleyes::LOL: )

Almost sounds like if you print it yourself and sell it then they are willing to let it slide, but if the company is printing it they don't want to print anything they deem "offensive" (which in and of itself is offensive).
That might explain why I see so much of a mix of things there..... why I hear some Christian stuff is being banned and yet still see other Christian stuff up.

We don't use Amazon, and at this point never will.

I need to jump in the shower because I just remembered that I need to have my car towed to the shop today, but I did do a quick "Google" search about Amazon's antichristian policies, and I came up with this (not sure if this is the article that you referred to earlier):

I will look around here and see if I can find it again.
Most likely somewhere in conspiracy forum or news forum, but might not have been it's own thread. Might be mixed in an already going thread......

hmmmm, not sure, I didn't actually open the article at that time to see it, I just read what the poster summed up.



Have a good day.

STAY OUT OF THE OTHER BDF THREADS!!!!!! (and probably the NEWS threads and CONSPIRACY threads)

Then go home, relax and have some fun!!!
It’s the family drama Im referring too, I don’t go into the other threads, I’ve removed myself from some actually. But I avoided said drama, so more coffee and off to work.

I have found that my dishes last longer when washed by hand.
I mean they SAY microwave and dishwasher SAFE..... but they always end up with cracks and blimishes.
PLUS (and I love that my kids figured this out one day when asking WHY I don't use the dishwasher)
you have to WASH the dishes BEFORE putting them in the dishwasher :eek::LOL:
I just usually give them a quick rinse before putting in the dishwasher. Actually, I'm not sure if using the dishwasher saves time as I rinse them, arrange them and later remove them. It's probably a wash using a dishwasher verses hand washing. Usually, to save space in the dishwasher I wash the bigger items such as pots and pans by hand. It doesn't matter though as I find washing dishes to be an activity that I enjoy. It's a fast process and you get immediate results and closure. Of course, right away the process starts all over again. Sort of like washing clothes. I don't mind that activity either but my wife usually does the laundry.

I did the paper plate and bowl thing for a few months too. As a result I was taking out the trash more and spending money on paper products. I still buy paper napkins and towels though. A lot of them. I find it to be a necessary expense.
