Yep...I have never seen this in my time...Places of worship in the U.S. of A are closing their doors..to the belief of open prayer...Not to mention the rest of the planet..Just started reading about it today...Does this mean that Satan is ringing "Hells Bell?"

What are your thoughts on people of government's and people of the church shutting you down?

If a church decides to quit holding services for awhile its only the business of that church. If the government closes the doors its time to say no. I would go to church if that happens just to protect my right to not go as my freedom of choice.


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

WI has suggested all gatherings of people over 100 be cancelled. Pretty sure a lot of church congregations are over 100.

I've wandered about that. Several governors have declared no gatherings over X number of people. First off, do they even have any actual legal authority to do that, and how does that jive with first amendment protections regarding the right to assemble and the right to practice religion?

"Where two or three are gathered together" is good enough for me.

In the early days persecution scattered the church and thus the gospel all over the world.

Getting quail roosting with their tails together is a lot easier than when scattered out.

Old Satin loves to go to and fro including the church aisle.

Its not gravity that hurts but the sudden stop when one jumps off a mountain.

Our church is still having services. I plan on going.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I'm president of our church council. We will be continuing services with appropriate precautions. During a time of plague and pestilence, cancelling worship is the last thing we should do.

Our small congregation is holding services with some restrictions regarding sharing the peace etc. On the other hand Jesus never had a church or congregation for his 3 years of ministry, so we should be able to follow his example for a designated period of time. It is disappointing at times to see how much our established religious set patterns interfere with the Christian message but we are human and thus we choose ways to classify each other so we can demean others or become more self-righteous ourselves.
