Facial encompass will be required for congregation members, who won’t be allowed to sing ,” the governor’s office announced.

Chad wrote on Twitter,” Respectfully, I will never earmark a Governor, or anyone, to stop me from SINGING, let alone sing in worship to my God.

Just investigated his tweet. Apparently he blocked me long ago( lol ). Anyway, to be able to go from sucking cock on the DL, to praising Jesus and voting for Trump- that is some TONY worthwhile scope right there.

The ones who quote the Bible most seem to be the ones who follow its doctrines the least. This is not about you and your need to sing your kudo anthems. I’m almost certain selfishness is frowned upon in that big-hearted diary of yours. Wear a concealment. Take care of your chap humans.

It certainly doesn’t seem like too much to ask that when you go to gatherings of up to TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE you to refrain from engaging in utilizing your well-trained diaphragm to aerosol spray everyone around you with Covid.

Chad, you voice a great deal like the Republican councilman I listen say “I WILL have a huge family Thanksgiving! Government can’t tell me how many beings I have in my house.” Its ignorant. It’s arrogant. It’s selfish. It scarcity ALL empathy for other humans except yourself. Unacceptable.

Chad, I know I don’t know you well, but I am compelled to respond to this- this is NOT about strength or tyranny. This is very much about glancing out for your fellow human beings. This is about sacrificing things temporarily for the good of all. No one is stopping you from

Loving your God& celebrating how you wish at home. But faith is a gathering& rendezvous spread this deadly disease. Just the same as theatre& group fitness etc must be paused, school singing, too.

There’s no ability to be gained now by anyone. I’m not sure why you’re viewing it that way. This is a worldwide issue- governments of all kinds across the globe are dealing with this. You have a lot of affect. Please rethink this post- you may save some lives in the process.

No, brother. Respectfully, I have to disagree. You had Covid, our industry is in shamblings with no signaling to come back anytime soon, we’ve all been unemployed for 8 months and have lost so much. I’m pretty sure after 250,000 fatalities God wants you to save lives. Sing to him from home.

— Mauricio Martinez (@ martinezmau) November 16, 2020

Yikes. I pot God would rather you and the gathering stand safe than to spread a deadly virus to each other. My church has been doing zooms since March and the choir accumulates virtually and sings and it is beautiful. This isn’t about taking away freedom it’s about health

— Marti 2021 (@ MartiGCummings) November 16, 2020

You had COVID and recovered. So now you take no officials responsible for curing others not get sick- even if they die. Is it’ passion thy neighbor’ or’ bolt thy neighbor ‘? No one is going to tell you not to do your part to prevent sickness and fatality – you wanna sing! Very Godly.
