Persecution in California

[mossrose]

I was thinking of going there. I'm in a church group that meets in a synagogue. So, our church organization could not choose on its own to defy unconstitutional orders.

Oh, I know you will hear God's word divided rightly there!

If you go, wave at the camera and say hi! I'll be watching!

The City of Los Angeles through a cease and desist letter has threatened Grace Community Church and Pastor MacArthur specifically with a daily fine of $1000 or arrest.

On the upside, according to that news article Grace Church's defence lawyers have a good solid case against the City of Los Angeles.

I've been trying to find any reports of other churches who have defied the governor being threatened in the same way, and I haven't been able to find any at this point in time.

California used to be a beautiful place. But unless you're one of the rich or their underpaid serfs willing to live in a bunkhouse, it's too expensive to live there. I got out a few years ago. I can't stand the politicians and corporate warlords who destroyed my home of 37 years

Sorry to hear you had to move, but it's nice hearing from you again!

This is a development I don't think I expected.

Grace Church won its case against a restraining order! Amen!

Though the full hearing is set for early September, for now they're fine to stay open as long as everyone does their social distancing mask thingie.

Glad to hear that, though I do hope they continue with physical distancing the congregation and using masks as long as there's an outbreak.

It seems the county officials won't let up so easily...

LA County won the appeal.

It won't end here.

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
