By having gatherings of people at them from multiple households:

This happened in our “Bible belt,” area of the Fraser Valley. (Chilliwack & Abbotsford)

Good, IMO. Just because you Believe that Jesus will protect you from the virus doesn’t mean that science agrees nor that you can just ignore the rules and set bad examples for people.

They got the same $2,300 a pop fines that homeowners would get for hosting a party. At least they got that, but being people and organizations that are Supposed To Be community leaders, maybe they should have been fined even more. Oh well, good enough. Hopefully this deters them from continuing until the orders are lifted. (Currently extended until January 8th.)

A merry christmas gift to the parishioners. Spreading....good will...

Everyone here knows the rules and that no person or place is exempt. Why shouldn’t they be fined for disobeying Orders from our Minister of Health that are punishable by fines? These aren’t guidelines or mere suggestions. It’s been made crystal clear to all that if you f**k around you can be fined.

There is a belief in some parish's that god will protect them.

He will. That’s why he sent Health Ministers, Doctors, Nurses, Vaccine researchers etc. These morons ignoring the protection God sent them to keep safe & healthy resulted in them getting rightfully fined.

There is only so much a divine being can do for the ignorant.

And thus his commandment that they pay $2300 per dumbass move - a mandatory tithe on the tithers, if you will. At least they’re still doing God’s work.

LOL! tithe for the holy sounds more like stupid tax

So does a tithe for parishioners

Hmm, 10% of my income to enrich The Church & The Vatican.. OR, I can spend it on actually doing some good in the world. Such a tough choice!

The Vatican or the "Majesterium" to invoke the words of author Phillip Pullman.

How about taking away these church's tax exempt status's, if they break the rules. The fact they even get that is beyond dumb to me.

Humans are like Mandalorians....Thiis is the way

I came across this while looking up something else, go youtube. Jump to 0:55 where he gets down to talking about church attendence during the covid pandemic

Listened from 0:55 to 4:30.. deception is right, and he’s deceiving his congregation.

The guy is an elderly preacher, not someone with any medical training or expertise. Clearly - if the numbers he quoted aren’t just outright fabrications - he doesn’t know how to read and interpret a death report.

All this nonsense about covid death reports listing non-covid causes is because these people don’t know how to differentiate between “Cause of death” and “Mechanism of death.”

Cause of death may be listed as Covid while the Mechanism of death may be listed as Asphyxiation because their lungs gelled up (from covid) and they technically died from a lack of oxygen - the Mechanism of their death.

Same same for other causes of death. Cause of death may by MVA (car crash), but Mechanism May be listed in the report as Exsanguination. (Severe blood loss causing death) That doesn’t mean the car crash wasn’t their cause of death; it’s just the specific mechanism that the car crash caused.

Same same for covid & comorbidities. Covid sickness results in the patient dying from some comorbidity as the Mechanism of death.

This old man should stop lying to people just to keep his collection plate being passed around during a pandemic. His deception could result in ignorant people getting sick or dying, or spreading covid to someone else that it makes sick or kills.
