When Will Our Idiot Governor Shut Down The State Of Maryland For God's Sake?
I don't know why people aren't taking this virus seriously enough. Local positive cases are popping up left and right and packing a Church up like this is not only irresponsible, it's just plain stupid.
I just wish he would do it before Monday morning when everyone has to go to work to avoid mass people on the roads and acting foolish I have a son with severe anxiety and all this is taking a toll on him wondering what will happen if I go to work and the shutdown happens since I work in grocery he is afraid I won't be able to make it home with him I think the decision should be made before Monday morning all of this is also affecting the depressed and people with anxieties they need to be considered too go ahead and make this decision already
ReplyDelete10:05 There will be no more traffic on the roads tomorrow than any other Monday morning. You will be able to go home with no obstructions. Looks to me like he has severe anxiety because of the environment he is being raised in
DeleteMy thoughts exactly. Perhaps now he’ll learn resilience.
Delete11:59 & 1:11 - Anxiety & Depression is a serious illness which is worsened by frightening events such as what we're going through right now. You obviously don't know what you're talking about and it's cruel to blame the parent. So much for your compassion and understanding.
DeleteTake a picture and make sure it’s dated then send to Hogan !
ReplyDeleteWhy are the people of Maryland so stupid that they wait for the Governor to tell them they have to stay at home.
ReplyDeleteBingo! These people are praying for fascism. Make me stay home they beg!
DeleteYou will wish you didn’t ask for a complete lock down once you get it. Don’t worry it will come. And if you are staying in your house, then you have nothing to worry about. It’s still a free country for a few more hours, maybe days. So until then stay home and don’t worry about what anyone else is doing.
ReplyDeleteYour right but Curches should be closed😕
DeleteThey must have the Faith. Praise God and pass the hand sanitizer.
ReplyDeleteI predict their attendance will be down in the coming weeks and months.
ReplyDeleteWhich one? Call the police non emergency number and let them know. I am sure they are not 6 feet away from each other.
ReplyDeleteNo they werent there all parked like sardines def wasnt 6 ft apart and if windows were down then yea no dif than gathering together and was packed def more than 10 people
DeleteWow! Just speechless!
ReplyDeleteI will continue to go to church. God only smites the unholy sinners. Those of us in his grace are protected. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of death...”
ReplyDeleteLuke 4:12 .... If your founded in the faith . He expects us to use common sense.
DeleteKeep believing that foolish stuff. Pray your way to wellness and don't clog up the hospital if you get sick.
DeleteI will like normal people that aren’t lied to a lead by the nose.... look at our own military personnel they’ve been instructed to self quarantine.. If you pay attention to something other than the news like actual research you would realize that in 3 to 5 days you’ll be better don’t go clog up the hospital when you’re 30 years old and in terrific health and shape it’ll be gone and done with in a few days.
Delete12:46 be careful what you say, you might just have to pray your way to wellness.
Delete10:25 - If scores of people in your Church end up getting this coronavirus because of their refusal to take (commonsense) responsibility you're going to have made your Faith comments looked down on. I am a Christian but would not even consider attending a service with other people right now, and God still loves me. God blessed me with commonsense. I wish you well.
DeleteYou better read the four gospels. There are no unholy sinners according to Jesus. The old Jewish testament speaks of it. Jesus puts that to rest in the new testament. Study the 4 gospels. The rest, don't even worry about.
DeleteA few churches were having you co e to the parking lot and then tune in your radio. Not sure about this one.
ReplyDeleteA few churches are having you stay in your car and tune in the radio. Not sure if this is one.
ReplyDeleteHe won't and Shouldn't shut it down bc there is only 2 cases stop schilling for the liberal Hacks
ReplyDeleteI believe it will be coming soon now that he has cancelled essential/hazard pay for those workers. Doesn’t seem fair to not pay the people that can’t sit home and be paid.
ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest problems is everyone blaming someone else. Is it the Pastor's fault for people showing at church? Is it morally right for the Pastor to deny people that want to come to church in these difficult times?
ReplyDeleteCommon sense would be to stay home and worship our Creator in our own way.
The Diocese of Wilmington has suspended all Masses. However, my wife and I "attended" Mass via EWTN at 8 AM. Wonderful service and except for receiving the Eucharist we could participate as normal.
ReplyDeleteIf you watch the news -- church services are being conducted with people in their cars. It's happening here in Florida -similar to a drive in movie. The church used a radio station that his congregation turns into while sitting in their cars. Better yet why don't they stay home and listen to the radio. Except if they did that the church could not pass the collection plate. Crazy times.
ReplyDelete10:14 I have every right to be concerned. Those idiots are the reason people catch the virus and die. Do you not know how a virus spreads? How dumb are you?!
ReplyDeleteNot as dumb as this particular post. The 25 or 30 people in church are not quite as dumb as the hundreds walking around Walmart and Sam's club. Now that's dumb. Do you not know how this virus spreads?
Delete1:48 - Well I suppose if we didn't need to eat for the next (undesinated) MONTHS we wouldn't need to go to Walmart. "Keep distance, don't loiter, & wash hands".
DeletePROBABLY will happen TOMORROW > Monday !!!!
ReplyDeleteNot a good idea pastor!
ReplyDeleteDemocrats are the Biggest IDIOTS in Govt !!!
ReplyDeleteThank Goodness for TRUMP being in Charge !!!
& MD Governor is also REPUBLICAN !!!!
MD Governor is a RINO/POS
DeleteSnow Hill Christian Church was open last Sunday. All who attended that service should be in self quarantine and they now know why.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from Slo Hill. They got cows running in the streets now.
DeleteThose people believe the lord will protect them.
ReplyDeleteHe will!!
DeleteThe Lord will help those who help themselves. Think of all the other people you will be exposing to this virus if you carelessly contract it by not using good (God-given) commonsense.
DeleteMight be the Koreans who sublet and also hold services in that Church
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete"Crazy how Pastors are out for that collection plate and putting people at risk".
The people make their own choices.. they went because they want to. Perhaps the 'viewer' just wanted to take a shot at Christians, and particularly the pastor. I doubt they are sitting right next to each other. And I'm sure the 'collection plate' has little to do with it.
I wonder if the 'viewer' had the same kind of comments about the beach being crowded in Rehoboth?
Mike Lewis said he will enforce the no groups mandate with actual charges. Call wico county.
ReplyDeleteLol I have yet to see a cop patrol Hebron they are ALL hiding there patrol cars so they don't get flagged down. Pathetic.
DeleteFine the world out of them.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see if Jesus handles that.
It is coming > don't worry > Marshall Law too !!! Soon
ReplyDeleteNice to see so many people don't believe in freedom anymore. Goodbye USA. Might as well elect Bernie for President.
ReplyDeleteI overheard a mgr at Big Lots hand the cashier a piece of paper saying that she will need it to be able to get out on the roads. When will they announce a shut down?? I'm staying in, but I have to go to work on Monday!!!
ReplyDeleteIs a snowstorm coming ??
DeleteLady's and Gentlemen . . . don't sweat the small stuff, I can almost guarantee you that with the ensuing hot weather coming very soon, (already started this past Friday, March 20, 2020) you can all but kiss this virus good-by. I have lived on the planet earth for 63 years and I have yet to experience a virus when April hot weather arrives. The heat, long days, and particularly the ultra violet light - won't allow this virus to spread at epidemic levels.
ReplyDeleteIf the virus does expand and extends past April 1st - then we have bigger problems - as it must be form of bacteriological warfare. That's about all that I can say about this virus contagion.
This virus is exploding down South where it's a lot warmer than here.
DeleteSure hope you're right about the hot weather. Bring it on.
DeleteAre they IN their cars? Could be having a “drive-in” type service. A lot of elderly don’t have (or know how to navigate) online services, so many churches are doing drive-ins to keep the sense of fellowship while practicing social distancing. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteJust think > This is how (& worse) it would be under Bernie
ReplyDeleteSanders & his Socialist (Communist ) Country !!!!
So, how the hell can anyone Vote for him or his kind ?? Think !!
Its amazing of how quickly people are willing to give up their rights. Fall in line sheep...FALL in line!
ReplyDeleteThat's because now has a house and bar full of food I sure hope there isn't looting. (
DeleteThat's because joe has a house and bar full of food I sure hope there isn't looting. (
DeleteI sure wish the Government would have reacted as quick when the shear number of US manufacturing giants were folding up their tents and moving the heck out of the US. Now - there is no US manufacturing left, and, in comparison to the number of manufactures we use to have in the 60's, 70's and 80's. They are now all gone!!! Why didn't our Government react as quick then - as they do now?
ReplyDeleteU.S. manufacturing is lower now even before the virus than when Trump took office.
Delete12:02 Because Trump wasn't our President in the 60's, 70's, or 80's
DeleteI don't believe that statement 157, what's your source?
Delete6:51, manufacturing is lower under Trump then under Obama, just the facts.
DeleteMike Lewis
ReplyDeleteYour department is a disgrace if your officers are not patrolling the streets then the county should LAY them OFF since they can't do there job or are to Afraid too, You don't see Nurses Drs medics FF saying we will not respond to certain calls THEY ALL STEPPED UP.
Is the pastor a man of God or a Man of the Holy Collection Plate?? Me thinks it's the Holy Collection Plate and also the Holy Building Fund.
ReplyDeleteMaryland State Police commissioner needs to be Fired for cutting his depts call response you sir are PATHETIC.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is great and someone at that church needs to teach the pastor how to go on line. This is what our church has done.
ReplyDelete11:52: Exaggerate much?
ReplyDelete“I don’t know why people aren’t taking this virus seriously enough “....
ReplyDeleteI’ll take a stab at that:
A) The Press/4th Estate/MSM has beclowned itself to the point that serious, thoughtful people have difficulty taking them seriously even at a time like this, when their biases and agendas have been laid wide open for all to see. This has been a persistent problem but has Accelerated in particular in the last 4 years with “Orange Man Bad” in the Oval Office. What would have been inconceivable to most of us just a short time ago, that the enemies of PDJT would create/condone/assist/cheerlead an event like this for the sole purpose of his demise, suddenly doesn’t require quite as much “tin foil”.
B) Our trusted, respected, auguste institutions, led by the “smartest people in the room”, have equally beclowned themselves in the eyes of the American people thru blatant partisanship, hypocrisy, and willful ineptitude. Do you really trust James Comey and the FBI? Would no “reasonable prosecutor” really not pursue charges against Hillary Clinton for her email server scandal? Do you really trust Brennan, Clapper, et al in the intelligence community? FISA, anyone? How about Lois Lerner and the IRS? Has she suffered the consequences of her actions? So do I believe Fauci et al when they tell me I don’t need a mask, but will make sure they themselves have them?
Can anyone you respect in the press articulate in a trustworthy, unbiased, medical manner:
1. How is the Wuhan Flu different than various other seasonal Flus that kill thousands of Americans every year?
2. How is the Wuhan Flu different than previous apocalypses such as Swine Flu, Ebola, SARS, MERS etc? I don't recall turning our lives upside down, threatening our constitutional freedoms, laying off millions, shuttering small business (much of which will be permanent given our current trajectory), sending the world economy into recession/depression, and arguing over the region specific (Wuhan or China) nomenclature. (Didn't happen with MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory) “West Nile” virus, “Spanish” Flu”, etc.)
Cynical people such as I have become have our suspicions that the reasons (at least for the hysteria if not the origins) lie with who the occupant of the Oval Office is, or more specifically, his enemies. Oh, did I mention..... Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself?
Look there must be good answers and reasons, and perhaps I’m even being willfully ignorant, but frankly I think this is the time to remain vigilant in defense of our constitutional rights. People on this blog are actually calling for taking pictures of those who choose to worship on a Sunday and sending them to Gov Hogan..... for what?
12:23 SPEAKS THE TRUTH !!!
DeleteWe have a large church with many services. Our church have all faith in God at this time, and all times. But we as also must obey the laws from the authority that God has put over us as well.
ReplyDeleteGod didn't put that authority over us
DeleteThe kind of hot weather we need is months away ( 90's). And that's not a positive. This is a new virus and it can adjust in it's early stages before weakening to things like heat. Ask Australians about that as they fight this virus.
ReplyDeleteThere are 244 cases in Maryland, Not 2 as above. And that will be near or over 300 by Monday morning.
Hogan does need to do a Stay at home order. Except for essentials.
I don't see where Trump has in any way helped this situation out. This is a war, he should've made places like GM produce and ship to states needed medical equipment. Not hope they volunteer.
And I'm sick of his "I hope this will work) scenarios. Tell us the truth.
Wake up from this & Realize America > You are NOT really Free
ReplyDeleteThe govt just wants you to think you are > But > they can Take
all of it away at any time they want to !!! Fact Wake- UP
Proof is ALL around , so take your head from the sand !!!
Be careful WHO you VOTE for from now on !!! Hint HInt
At Zion Church this morning the service was broadcast to the car radios. There were four people in the church who were well aware of "social distance" and sanitizing the equipment being used. The people in the cars did not get out and socialize, but remained in their cars throughout the service.
ReplyDeleteAnd THIS is why people should not jump to conclusions!!!
Deletea Taste of socialism & communism for America 2020 !!
ReplyDeleteBetter Vote for ONLY Republicans if you like FREEDOM !!!
Nope, I love freedom, facts, data, strong economies so I vote Democrat.
DeleteThe service at Zion this morning was conducted by radio transmission with no contact to each other. Looks like a bunch of judgemental asses on this thread. God bless.
ReplyDeleteNo need to get huffy, people are just worried right now and don't know what's going to happen. Nobody wants this virus passed on to them or their family by people being careless. Glad to read the Church took necessary precautions. God bless you also.
DeleteZion United Methodist Church had drive up service this morning. Everyone stayed in their cars & service was broadcast on car radios. There was no collection plate passed. God bless you all!
ReplyDeleteZion Church has no FM transmitter to broadcast a sermon. How stupid are you to use this as a reason?
DeleteWhen they Tighten Down the screws > You AIN"T going to
ReplyDeleteANYWHERE !!!!
HEY MILLINIALS THIS IS WHAT COMMIE SOCIALISM FEELS LIKE.
ReplyDelete✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Delete✔️✔️✔️✔️ I have nothing useful to add so I’ll just put a couple of check marks down
DeleteAllen Baptist Church is having service via FB.
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful that they are doing that for their congregation.
March 22, 2020 at 2:20 PM
ReplyDeleteThat may be so , but it doesn't mean the whole world has to accommodate her and her kid. IF she works in grocery the shut down means nothing she still has to go to work
And a lot of us are having anxiety over this. It is a good time to work on adapting, learning skills to cope instead of expecting the world to placate you.
Its been a tough 10+ days and its sadly not over.
It's all great. When done church service, go to your fast food place, wait inside in a long line and get your food to go. Joe approved?!?! Right Joe?! No cleaning, exposing kids for min wage. Just to get a quick sandwhich?!? Let's go!!!
ReplyDeleteChurches are aLL GREEDY They care alot more about the offering that the congregation! Zion Methodist I would Never be a part of your poor choices.
ReplyDeleteDid you not see their comment on here? The people stayed in their cars and listened to the sermon on a fm transmitter. 4 people were inside the church making it happen.
DeleteHEY millinials enjoy your lock down lol.
ReplyDeleteSomeone please explain to me what a drive up church service is!! To broadcast on an FM radio band don't you need a transmitter and second I don't think you can just broadcast anything across the airways without the FCC being involved
ReplyDeleteMonday !!! stay tuned
ReplyDeleteGovernor John Carney just issued a stay at home order for DE, starting Tuesday at 8am
ReplyDeleteIs all this anonymous talking amongst one another/arguing really necessary? Its not going to change anything, you think anyone important cares about non factor peoples back and forth comments and opinions.....NOPE! Find something productive to do with your time.

Delete"Someone please explain to me what a drive up church service is!! To broadcast on an FM radio band don't you need a transmitter and second I don't think you can just broadcast anything across the airways without the FCC being involved"
ReplyDeleteLook up Part-15 radio. You can get a low power AM or FM transmitter that broadcasts only about a mile. Real estate agents use "talking house" radios all the time- the broadcast on the FM band only a few hundred feet.
In other words, do some research before you run your trap, boomer.
456pm....I wasnt there but the Baptist church/summer camp {over by the Perdue Stadium} was doing am radio broadcast over 15 years ago, Lots of folks used to attend during the special pageants and plays. Its really no big deal and these transmitters are low power, signals only put out a few hundred yards so regulation isnt a big deal on those. And for the haters...it was cold enough this morning I seriously doubt anyone had their windows down.
ReplyDeleteYes! The drive in Christmas and Easter pageants! Loved them!
Delete"When Will Our Idiot Governor Shut Down The State Of Maryland For God's Sake?'
ReplyDeleteHe is too busy going on the Liberal News stations attacking President Trump.
So the governor's an idiot because grown ass people aren't smart enough to avoid a potentially deadly virus?
ReplyDeleteBiological Weapon
Deleteworried more about your mortal body then your eternal soul? yup seems about right! Trust in God! you've seen what trust in your fellow mankind has done!
ReplyDeleteSome would rather they were in bars :)
ReplyDeleteI commented before under another post but I'm going to comment here as wel . I've been in the medical profession for 25 years.
ReplyDeleteI went to lowes yesterday for an emergency repair to a broken pipe in my house. I out my mask on and gloves. To my horror there were over 200 people in the store, only several wearing a mask. Some were shaking hands and hugging when they met each other. There was even a couple from thenWicomico County Sheriffs Office walking around with no protection , laughing and carrying on. These cops come into contact with many people and they do not have the professionalism and common decency to wear protective equipment when out and about. This speaks volumes of the lack of professionalism and precautions that our law enforcement is taking and sets a horrible example.
The Spanish flu killed over 50 million people.
Laugh now and pay later. Stay inside. Only leave when absolutely required. By not taking proper precautions you will risk other peoples lives, your own, and your children's life. Dont be totally stupid. You not complying with basic precautions will literally kill people.
A lot online people will get very sick and a lot of people will die from this.
Seems the majority of virus victims are in nursing homes is that being looked into.
ReplyDeleteHe is still trying to find Rosco !!! & Daisy Dukes !!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a punk millennial college kid that lives above me he is from Sussex county and has left almost everyday and came back from there with stuff from mommy's house. They have like 50+ cases there and we have 6. I think it should be illegal and jailable for doing this! What can I do??
ReplyDeleteYou are saying you think he should be arrested for leaving his house and visiting his mother because you are afraid he will spread the virus? Surprise. You are an idiot. He is free to visit who he wants. Hea a citizen of the united states.
DeletePeople at lowes and home depot.... Your mulch and flowers can wait. Stay the hell at home. People can carry and spread this virus around for two weeks before they even show any symptoms. 6 feet is not enough. Stay away from people.
DeleteThis needs to be done at a National level. You might ask your beloved President the same question
ReplyDelete
