Yes, they all thought services via zoom was enough. Disgusting. The whole thing made me so angry and bewildered--how could so many people let their FEAR, an inability to put it all in God's hands, and their lack of DISCERNMENT rule them--and in so doing, harm others?
Yes Michele. My mother felt so hollowed out and forsaken. Incredible shame and repudiation is heaped on that church. Dereliction of their duties, common decency and basic Christian principles are just plain evil. I will never forgive them.
Good point. Not everyone has that ability or even desire--Zoom in my opinion (I had to teach with it at a college until I quit over masking/testing) is an evil in itself; I have seen how it creates worse outcomes than NOT using it. I also found it weird that so many people who claimed to be 'anti China/America first' or "tik-tok is a weapon" somehow were just fine with using Zoom, which even Nancy Pelosi called "a Chinese entity."
Sorry for your mom's experience, tho so many of us, I think, were taken aback at how many people we had previously considered to have common sense, common zest for living, common decency, common spiritual principles, only to find out they were completely manipulable by the media, completely desperate to be directed to a false safety, and--so frustrating--completely unwilling to do their own investigating. Just a complete--I was gonna say delegation but really it is--dereliction of kindness, curiosity, and faith.
We are so lucky, however, to have the perspective that we do.
Why vaxxing and masking in church ? Is holy water and holy smoke not enough ?I write down all my sins ,so I don't forget next time I go to confession .Last time I was confessing so long the priest had to stop me ,because I was taking op most of the Sunday .Next time I tell him I was bad and I'M done.
I saw so many, support the current thing, from churches. I also saw lines for getting your jab at churches. Totally disgusting.
My mother's church never once checked on an 83 year old woman, living alone, who has been tithing her entire adult life.

Not to mention giving up their God Given Right of Freedom to Worship God if they so choose. It was all disgusting and embarrassing.

And, the majority of that church are elderly. How many of them know how to zoom?
My mother certainly can't.

Again, let down on so many fronts.
Even the birds and the bees are zooming around ,the Chinese thought of every thing .

If Jesus ever came back ,he would be masked shot and boosted before allowed in his church .
They were soooo good at social distancing they couldn't even call her...
Totally.
But, you know, they were saving the world by sitting on their butts.

You assume a lot. Like there was or is a Jesus; that there was or is a God. Your blind faith kills your reason, we are on our own.
Despicable 😢
