Yes, Virginia's Governor Has Made It a Crime for More Than 10 People to Attend a Church Service
CNS News ^ | March 25, 2020 | Terence P. Jeffrey

But a "Frequently Asked Questions" sheet that his office published about the executive order does address the issue.

The fifth question it answers is: "What about religious services? Can I still go to my church, synagogue, or mosque?"

The answer: "Virginians are strongly encouraged to seek alternative means of attending religious services, such as virtually or via 'drive-through' worship. Places of worship that do conduct in-person services must limit gatherings to 10 people, to comply with the statewide 10-person ban."

So when you’re arrested do you end up in a holding cell with 10+ people?

He’s doing everything he can to save his voters. Entirely predictable behavior for a politician. Which makes me reconsider the entire “Monarchy” thing.

Nefarious rat governors are now in complete control of their sanctuary states. Never let a crisis go to waste. They will not dictate or else, they will have the power to keep you from going back to work. They now have their own little thiefdom. The only thing that will get in the way is the people. Its up to the people

My barber called yesterday and cancelled my April 1 appointment. I said you have spacing of more than six feet. You can stay open. No. You can come to my house. No. I’m taking this social distancing seriously, she said.

It is surprising how quickly Americans will surrender their freedoms.

Only if it’s a muslim or pagan religious gathering do they protest.

Jewish or Christian, it’s ok to use the jackboots to enforce religious suppression.

I think in a couple of years when they control all the house, senate and presidency, they will come up with a climate emergency and force this kind of thing indefinitely. They have seen that there is no pushback and the sheeple are completely compliant.

Without a doubt, it is unconstitutional. A church should file suit in court and test to see if VA Courts have gone fascist too.

This should not be a problem for the Episcopalians.

Bowing to Caesar
March 2, 2020

I stopped by our Church office last week, only to find out Sunday Services had been cancelled. In my frustration/anger I blurted out, “Now our Church is bowing to Caesar”. Unfortunately, or rector overheard my “comment” and came out of his office at once. I immediately felt I had made a mistake, but for the life of me I could not see why.
Then my Son said, “Dad, if you go to Church knowing there could be a deadly virus there, isn’t that just like the snake handlers who pick up poisonous snakes “knowing” that God will protect them?”
And there was my answer. I am not going to Church to “test” God, nor do I want an infected visitor to spread this through the congregation – then throughout the entire city. How is that a witness to Jesus? How would I reach them for salvation if they are dying at my expense?
So, there it is: I will “never” let the mayor, governor, nor president say we cannot have Church. This is a president I never want to encourage. However, I also do not want to “test” God – especially when I know what I can do to help. Therefore, I will do my part – for the sake of the unsaved in my community – and stay away from congregating for a while. But if this drags out . . . I hope we hold open the option to reconsider at any time. This is tricky, and principles are important.
Never bow to Caesar, and never test God - - - it’s all in the balance.

1) She wants to keep her license. 2) She doesn’t know how clean your home is. 3) It isn’t worth the hassle to drive to pack up her equipment and drive to your home. 4) It is just a haircut and not your house burning down. You can wait a couple weeks.
