Really angry pastor in the news

EvilGoose55 is as much a %fracking idiot as the Polish Pastor.

You're a bit of a duck yourself, squire.

What do you say? Let's blow this popcorn stand and go poo on a Dodge or something.

This thread took a really sad turn.

[AFRS]

The Daily Caller interviewed the pastor.

According to the pastor, the authorities had been harassing his church for the last 13 months, despite his efforts to set up a meeting outside of a church service.

This is the first time the officers have walked inside the church, but Pawlowski said that they have appeared in the parking lot multiple times and even blocked it one time so that parishioners could not enter.

“What happened on Saturday is just the tipping point of the harassment and intimidation I have been enduring for months,” he added.

As to his reasons why he called them Nazis and Communists, etc:

“I grew up in Poland under the boot of the Soviets, behind the Iron Curtain,” Pawlowski said. “What I see right now, I see everything escalating and moving to the new level. They’re acting just like the Communists were acting when I was growing up when the pastors and the priests were arrested, and some were murdered. Many were tortured.”

“That’s why I say what I say,” he continued. “Because I see a repetition of history.”

Pawlowski didn’t expect the video he took to go viral but said that he hopes it gives others hope and courage to stand up to the authorities.

“I simply say, enough. And I want – I hope – that this video that so many people are talking about will give courage to other clergymen and other business owners to kick those Nazis out.”

Pawlowski’s phone has been going off “nonstop” with messages of support, he said.

Yeah, I'm still with this guy.

Me too.

That said, the pressure is producing some stalwart Canadian heroes, worthy of imitation here in the States.

But what have we learned?

1.) Reactions break down according to political party affiliation. Complete polarization: hero/goat response. Wosbald votes the straight Papal ticket.

2.) When the police read the warrant incorrectly, show up to the wrong house, and shoot your dog in front of your kids, Christ willed it. Submit quietly. You deserve it.

3.) If faced with disagreement, throw a hissy.

CPS, working as intended.

I miss Hugo.

Are you sure that Hugo isn't the puppeteer behind EvilGoose?

It seems like - because it is, in fact - the church building was closed for non compliance with "public health restrictions", not because it's a church. Or a Christian church. Or a Christian church with Christians inside. Or a Christian church with Christians inside who were praying. Or a Christian church with Christians inside who were praying or partaking sacraments. Or a Christian church with Christians inside who were praying or partaking sacraments or doing anything else Christ asks of His followers.

No, it's been locked down because they "held public worship gatherings in excess of size limits, and with many inside reportedly not wearing masks or following distancing guidelines."

Did He say "You shall gather in groups of more than 10"? Did He say "You shall gather in groups even if one of you may cause harm to a fragile brother"? Did He say "You may not gather virtually for a time even if it is best for your community". Did He say "You may not socially distance even if you miss the physical embrace of your brothers and sisters"? Did He say "Your life will always be comfortable and you will never face instances where it may not be in your best interest to worship corporately and you may need to meet in your homes in smaller groups"? Did He say "You shall gather to worship and sing praises to your God, but you may not do so in smallish groups and you may not wear masks and you must be within arms reach of one another"? Did He say "Where/when two or three gather in my name, there am I with them”? Oh wait, He did say that.

If you're serious, then thank you.
If you're saying "bless your heart" well, then, you know what to do with that.
