An Atlanta church has taken a bold step in order their fight to show themselves unapproved- announcing that all worshippers and attendees wanting to gather on the Lord’s day for church may NOT attend unless they show proof of vaccination first.

Dr. William Flippin Sr, the ‘pastor’ of The Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church insists that this is the loving course of action, explaining in a Fox Atlanta article that it’s all being done to keep the church safe:

"There are people who foolishly say they are covered under the blood. I believe in being covered under the blood but you also have good sense…We were extremely concerned about the elderly members that come to our church. We are concerned about everybody but particularly those. We didn’t want anyone to come on our campus and leave and say they became ill at our church."

SMDH! How did we (generally speaking) become SO STOOPID? Simply get on the train to Tuskegee pastor. Welcome to Auschwitz folks.

Would be looking for a new church regardless of vaccine status.

Remember when Jesus kicked out all the lepers?

My church pushes the mask and vaccine stuff so I quit going.

Sad to say.

Lutherans.

The pastor of the little church close to the office I heard is on a ventilator. I hope he recovers. Good guy.

Poor analogy, but I get your point.

A former co worker called last week to tell me her husband passed away. She said they were requesting vaxed only at the funeral. Told her we couldn’t come.

If you have doubts about the experimental, unapproved jab, you are now treated like a crazy “snake handler”. Good grief.

“to come on our campus”

Reason enough to leave. I’ll NEVER be part of a church that has a campus instead of a congregation!

I’ve heard of a few similar.

When my uncle of 82 years died a few months ago, about half were acolytes of the mask.

There was a fairly clear division.

My wife’s great aunt died last year, super strict mask only. I did not go. It was within walking distance from me.

That would be a great plan except that the vaxxed parishioners are just as likely to get the virus from other vaxxed parishioners—and then they can sue the church anyway...

That was Jesus' main concern too at His gatherings.

**The Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church**

I always thought God welcomed all sinners.

They are welcome at my Catholic Church. But they have to wear a mask.

Amazing Grace
For the vaccinated
The rest can just leave
If you dare cough
We’ll call the cops
And Child Services about your kids!

Un-vaxxed facing same discrimination as African-Americans before 1960’s in the south. This is not right, even though I am vaxxed.

That’s sad. The “supposed” vaccine only treats symptoms. It is not a vacination such as small pox, measles and mumps.
