Our Rulers’ contempt for us runs so deep that they don’t even bother to obscure their double standards any longer. Exhibit A: San Diego deems strip clubs “essential,” while churches, of course, aren’t. So
Before the start of Sunday’s preach [sic—but since this perversion of a verb into a noun befouls several other sentences, I assume it was deliberate. One word to the writer and editor: NO] the speakers at Awaken Church did a ‘strip’, where they removed their jackets, ties and belts, mocking the fact that churches have such strict guidelines.
That laughter you hear is Paul the Cab Driver’s, who sent me this story. Meanwhile, it’s funny enough to share tomorrow at your grand feast with umpteen dozen friends and relatives!
“Strip clubs (Not Churches) are exempt from the Covid lockdowns, and are deemed essential by our governor!” senior pastor Jurgen Matthesius stated on Instagram. “Soooooo… we decided we are NOW AWAKEN FAMILY FRIENDLY STRIP CLUB! (Where we strip the devil of his hold, power & authority over people’s lives!) Enjoy the intro to the preach [sic, again. I’m counting. When I reach the third such abuse, I’m outa here] today!”
Our hero also posted a chart listing total deaths in the US for the last five years to prove that COVIDCon is just that: a mammoth con. Way to go, Preaching (hey, if he plays games with verbs, why can’t I misuse the gerund?)!
“There is a desperate need for the church with the brokenness within our community,” senior pastor Jurgen Matthesius stated…
That cacophony wasn’t Paul the Cabbie this time; it was me hollering “AMEN, AMEN, AMEN! ARE YOU LISTENING, PARSON GOAT?”
“We have buried three people in the last five weeks who didn’t die of COVID, but because of it… the overbearing restrictions around COVID. There is no data that shows COVID signs linked to church services.”
OK, despite his problems with the parts of speech, I love this guy!
“What we don’t do is compromise our First Amendment right that says congress shall make no law prohibiting churches from operating,” said Pastor Leanne [the article provides no other identification]. “We are doing as much as we can to be compliant, but there are some things that we will not compromise.”
Uh-oh. Never, ever comply with a bully—and the State is the ultimate, consummate bully—in anything for even a moment. Bullies interpret cooperation and other attempts to placate them as weakness, and weakness only invigorates them.
Finally, let us consider—and damn—the utter degeneracy of a government that declares pornography “essential” while dismissing the Lord and His bride. Is there greater wickedness? And can we blame the Almighty if He has at long last wearied of American evil? Perhaps He’s wiping us “as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down,” punishing us via the Marxists and this stolen election so mercilessly that “whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.”
