Churchgoers Must Register With the Government in Kansas City
Liberty Counsel ^ | 5/1/20 | Mat Staver

Posted on 05/02/2020 5:42:36 PM PDT by marshmallow

Kansas City, Missouri, officials are now requiring every church to submit a list of members and attendees along with their names, addresses and telephone numbers to city officials for tracking and surveillance purposes.

I am running out of adjectives to describe how completely insane the tyrannical abuses launched by state governors and local officials against pastors and churches are becoming. It is as if these leaders never bothered to so much as glance at the Constitution they swore to uphold and defend. They seem to be governing from some make-believe, dystopian viewpoint.

Yesterday, we received a desperate call from a Kansas City, Missouri, church whose local government is reaching new and terrifying heights in destroying our constitutional freedom. The Kansas City government is now DEMANDING that churches turn over membership lists, along with the names, telephone numbers and physical addresses of anyone who enters a church! This order also applies to all businesses.

The new order states that by recording names and contact information, the health department will be able “to more quickly trace, test, and isolate individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19.” Anyone who does not provide this information should be refused entrance!

The Germans did this very thing to Jews – collecting the names and locations of all known synagogue attendees - in the early days of the Nazi regime.

Progressives don’t believe in God. They think religion is superstition. I agree mostly but it doesn’t matter what I think. God is whatever he is and I don’t know enough about God to say whether he exists or not. I believe that people have a right to believe what they want and to meet to discuss their beliefs. Again what I think doesn’t matter because the Constitution says plenty about it. The tyrannical progressive left will overstep their boundaries some day and they will not like what happens.

See post #28. The City of Kansas City web site has essentially the same information. Here's a cut and paste:

..Why are you requiring certain businesses to record information about customers?

One of the primary means for transmission of COVID-19 is in-person interactions that last more than a few minutes. By recording customer names, businesses will enable the Kansas City Health Department to more quickly trace, test, and isolate individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 if an employee or customer had the virus at the time they frequented the business......

....Are religious services, wedding, and funerals allowed?

Yes, after May 6, in-person religious gatherings (including weddings and funerals) may resume, subject to the 10/10/10 rule (if held inside) or limited to 50 people outside, provided social distancing precautions are followed and event organizers maintain records of all attendees.

I’m getting the sense that the “lockdown” is a rehearsal for something.

Saw it and thought “why the hell would I register to go to church? It’s bad enough everyone wants to get to know afterward and hug me?”

More and more I’m becoming convinced this isn’t about health - but a global live test to see what kind of totalitarian NWO they can impose without push back.

From the Article....just reporting, not agreeing...Nazi behavior excused by a Virus

Metro Voice spoke with Morgan Said, director of communications for Mayor Lucas, who said that while houses of worship must make a list, they retain possession and control of the information unless a health emergency arises.

“We are not asking that churches provide a list immediately to the city,” Said emphasized. “Churches keep the list and only if a member tests positive, and that member attended a church function, would the church provide a list to the city.”

Said told Metro Voice that the church or other religious institution keeps the record for only 30 days, “Unless, God forbid, someone tests positive, the church can destroy the list.”

“Rehearsal? “ I think it’s a plan being implemented.
