PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WKBN) – A Pittsburgh area pastor says he plans to organize a large, Woodstock-like outdoor Easter service to protest the stay-at-home orders amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Conservative Christian Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth made the announcement on social media after the arrests of pastors in the U.S. for failing to comply with state-at-home orders.

“How do you lay hands on people online? How do you baptize people online? How do you anoint with oil and lay hands on the sick?” he asked.

He said the government is infringing on the rights of people to assemble for religion.

He said the large outdoor gathering will be “like Woodstock.”

Jonathan Shuttlesworth referred to social distancers as “sissies”

and “pansies” who have been “neutered,” and described Christians who use hand

sanitizer as having “fake faith” and “no balls.”....

This guy is one of many needing his revival services, books, etc.

to further support his lifestyle...and grow HIS Kingdom .

Johnathan Shuttlesworth is just another televangelist charlatan who now is riding on the coronavirus scare and selling his snake oil fleecing unsuspecting people.

Beware.

And then The Lord turned over the money changer’s tables.

Speaking for The Lord is one of the greatest sins, and this showman shall pay on the other side.

Like so many before him...

It is apparent you do NOT KNOW the Word of God. In Hebrews 10:25 it states to “Not forsake our assembling toghether”

Man has said you will NOT assemble together. We must obey the Word of God and NOT man.

READ THE WORD!!!!

Good for him! I am no fan of the government forcing Christians to do what is the equivalent of “sitting at the back of the bus”.

Look to Sweden for the answer to your question. Alone in the EU they have adopted the “herd immunity” theory. It will not end well for them.

The “American Rebellion, the Revolution, was fought and supported by a mere 17% of the population of the day.”

ONE: People either don’t know or forget the above. TWO: The 17 percent drive the issue and there isn’t a damn thing anybody can do about it.

Im beginning to think that it takes a pussy to believe EVERYONE is a pussy. When more of us have lost our version of “fair money” we’ll have nothing better to do than focus on our world and what is wrong with it. You have already lost the distraction and you lash out implying that a right thinking patriot is a coward behind his keyboard. So I guess there’s no counting on YOU. Sorry about that.

No...It is more like figuring out what we will eat today. Remember, I should be in Logandale, NV today. And you are correct, you are a pussy believing that everyone that is efffected by this mess is a pussy... Can’t help you bud.

Just Remember, the Revolution will not be televised.

Take a chill pill and shelter in place. You have no right to infect other people. You do not live on an island or in a bubble. Apparently public schools are not teaching common sense or critical thinking.

I commented elsewhere that I still stand by South Korea’s strategy. They are not as nonchalant as Sweden but they are nowhere near as draconian as Europe and the U.S. They are doing widespread testing and quarantining, tracing and tracking the sick. They are placing very few if any restrictions on what the healthy can do. It is absurd to waste resources trying to control the entire population when resources are as tight as they are.

None of those things require a large in-person crowd to witness. I guess he doesn't want to give people the impression of being a good steward and good neighbor. Being those things should not require "orders" of a government.

Seeing as mild case can be better than isolation, community activities with an age limit and health status should be encouraged.

Consider that about 80% of people who get Covid-19 experience a mild case [WHO said the same] – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment.[1]

As of March 16, the CDC reports that 12 percent of known Covid-19 cases in the US have resulted in hospitalizations, and 20 percent of those hospitalizations were among those ages 20 to 44. [2] And the CDC (March 18): among patients with COVID-19 in the United States the estimated fatality rate among persons aged 19 years and younger was 0%; 1% among persons aged 20–54 years; 1% to 3% among persons aged 55-64 years, and ranging from 10% to 27% among persons aged 85 and up.[3] 80 percent of US coronavirus deaths are people 65 and older.[4]

As regards health conditions, those must vulnerable are those with Cardiovascular disease, then Diabetes, and after that Diabetes, Hypertension, then Cancer.[8]

Relevant to that, more than 99% of Italy's coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions.[9]  Also, three out of four young NYC Coronavirus fatalities had other medical conditions (Mar. 27).[8] 

Meanwhile, the pastor can appeal on the basis of equal rights, since for 40 years men with men have been protected and promoted as engaging in a consensual practice that has been the means of HIV transmission in over 80% of cases, some of which is paid for by tax payers. Covid-19 is more easily spread for sure, but the cost and death rate for HIV-AIDs is worse among the young.
