Hey man, do your dumb little thing. Just don't socialise with rational humane people. Keep it in the cult.

Someone needs a refresher course on the Bible.

Even the Hebrews quarantined themselves in their homes when the first-born plague swept through Egypt. They were specifically told to keep their asses home.

Lock em up for attempted murder in a few thousand cases. Don't let them die, but put them away for all eternity so everyone realizes that God doesn't come to help.

Feels like the guy is not a believer (hopefully) and looks at the guy like he's crazy. Not like you can be picky with jobs at this point of time in his case.

If my mom's little small town church can shift to streaming and close the building, than so can a megachurch. This guy is just being a dick and is going to get people killed.

Well Hillsborough County (Tampa) is under a shelter in place order so this clearly violates that. Surprised the service continued.

As someone who lives in Tampa, not surprising at all.

Tampa is a weird place it's very conservative and very liberal at the same time. As such the very conservative part means that we pretty much let religious people do whatever they want. There are still people protesting in front of our local Planned Parenthood building near where I live.

Ah yes, let's spread coronavirus in the most recognizable retirement home state for the elderly in the country. Genius

Streaming services are probably less profitable...

I mean that's what megachurches are about right. Getting paid > people's health and safety.

Legit question for American peeps : why are such wackos allowed to be pastors? Why aren't qualified/sane people in charge?

We're talking about group of people that think a bronze-age text that's been filtered through two thousand years of translations is a literal and accurate depiction of history.

Glad he was arrested. That was completely reckless and dangerous allowing people to congregate like that.

"Liberals and PETA wouldn't let us paint our lintels with calf's blood, so what did you expect us to do, bruh!?"

There are some congregations that delusionally think prayer can fix everything. Not a "God works in mysterious ways so he'll help you out in some other way" bullshit. Straight up space magic.

When I was in college 15 years ago, I was in the cafeteria one day and this disabled man in a wheelchair was ordering food. This guy comes over and prays to heal his legs and IIRC was closing his eyes and kind of flailing his hands. The guy in the wheelchair had a "wtf...really dude?" look.

Gosh now I'm gonna have to hear from hardcore christian family/friends that they are being arrested for assembling. They have already been beating the "this is the end times, mark of the beast" drum.

Tampa megachurch pastor arrested after leading packed services despite 'safer-at-home' orders

The pastor of a Tampa megachurch is facing charges after refusing to close its doors despite a "safer at home" order in effect in Hillsborough County, meant to stop the spread of COVID-19. The sheriff says up to 500 people were in attendance at Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne's Sunday services.

He's arrested.

Good. These lunatics are putting so many people at risk.

I'm a Student Pastor, and my lead Pastor is laughing his butt off at this guy right now.

We've already gone ahead and communicated the suspension of our gatherings for service through the next several weeks. We're also in Florida, a couple hours south of Tampa.

Tampa Megachurch Pastor Browne Arrested for Illegal Sunday Service

Tampa's controversial Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne is now a wanted man after holding services Sunday at his River Church.

[Pastor Rodney] Howard-Browne has officially been arrested and looks none too pleased in his mug shot. He's been booked for unlawful assembly and for violating health and safety rules.

Tampa's controversial Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne is now a wanted man [under arrest] after holding services Sunday at his River Church -- openly defying the law and science during the coronavirus pandemic.

[The] fact is the County had already issued a "safer-at-home" order banning gatherings of no more than 10 people.

The rule also stated that people were not to stand within 6 feet of one another ... another clear violation in the video from the church's service.
