Is your church one of the "True Churches"?

I'm talking nationally. Spiritual health is essential to our nation.

There are not that many states, that do not allow worship services. If worship is not allowed I'm not sure it is a statewide mandate, I think it is on a county-by-county basis, as it is in California. Many states may have numerical restrictions in place, but I don't know of any that outright ban worship services in their entirety.

Please name the states the do not allow worship services of any kind.

Of any kind? That would include just praying at home. Seems you're trying to obfuscate the issue. You can read what I said, and easily discern what I'm saying.

I'm talking about people gathering together in churches for church worship.

When you say lockdown, what do you mean. I am free to go anywhere I choose right now with the exception of a bar.

Church worship services. I believe Church is essential for the spiritual health of America. I don't believe virtual Church is cutting it. And get kids back in school.

Calminia said:
In my state, Church is still closed.

So what states do not allow people to gather together in a church building, synagogue, mosque, freedom hall, etc. and worship together?

CA, for one. Are you not following the MacArthur story? My home church is being force to meet outside. We're also told we can't talk and fellowship afterward.

Yes, I mentioned California in a post I made in this thread about two hours ago. California is on a county-by-county basis. Yes, most of the counties are closed, but not all.

So what other states forbids public worship?

Oh stop. You're always playing word games. You know extxay what i meant.

No. I seriously want to know what states are closed for worship services.

You made a statement that, "it's time to end the lockdowns", whereupon Scarlett O asked "when you say lockdown, what do you mean." You replied, "church worship services". You even clarified and said, "nationally".

Now, as far as I know there is one, and only one state that has worship service lockdowns, and that is California. Your statement made it sound like there are more than one state, that lockdowns are widespread.

If you think this is word games, it's not. You made a statement implying that there were nationwide church service lockdowns.

So, what other states are closed for worship services?

Yada yada yada. Also fighting. Always heat, never light. You know what I said, you know what I meant.



Actually, I don't know what you meant. Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking. I'm not a mind reader.

I Googled "states with worship services shutdown" and there was not one definitive list. I found a list that sent me to individual states websites with policies on worship service gatherings and I started going through the states but all the states I checked except for California were open for worship services. (I stopped at Florida.) So I was really hoping you could tell me what other states were shutdown without me having to trawl through all 50 states.

But if you just want to bicker and block and accuse and assume, I guess this conversation is over.
