We were targeted for our parking lot services which we went to in accordance to the Pharaoh of Frankfort’s decree. 10 less in church to conduct service, 6 ft apart and half of the 8-10 left after the singing to their cars. The Bell Co KY Health Depr director called our pastor and said she got a complaint we were congregating. And then started clicking off rather aggressively things we were allegedly doing. The pastor pushed back on most all of it and she only stopped her aggressive tact when he said you are violating our constitutional rights.

He was told the 10 person or less policy was no longer in place, it’s changed. He said it’s CDC guidelines. It’s changed she said. He said can you show me something in writing? No was the reply. Then we were dictated 2 people in church and he said me preaching, one running sound/radio broadcast and one Facebook streaming. NO people in church singing regardless of social distances and again she could not cite source. On top of this now cars in the parking lot had to be 6 ft apart! The pastor said Walmart, Kroger etc... don’t have to do this why do we, we have been staying in our cars and following guidelines. NO came the reply from the health department director! That’s different! He asked how is it different? It just is she said and you will comply with the policies I have stated or KY state police will arrive and cite and quarantine you all. This woman’s husband is a preacher and she’s gone all Nero on us. Her king lives in Frankfort it seems.

No other church in Bell county KY had to follow these draconian, petty and arbitrary guidelines. We can’t figure why we are being singled out unless she, her family or friends didn’t like one of the sermons our pastor preached, he’s very conservative. The congregation is livid and the pastor and deacons are planning on filing a complaint with the KY AG for anti-Christian behavior by the health department director. They have also been offered assistance with legal counsel and the ACLJ. Welcome to the People’s Republic of KY!
