Hillsong founder Brian Houston says Christians are being discriminated against, as congregations at church services remain at just 100.

Christians are being discriminated against with numbers at church services strictly limited while other coronavirus restrictions are being relaxed, Hillsong founder Brian Houston says.

The pastor told 2GB radio on Wednesday all his congregation wanted was consistency as the government announced this week 300 guests would be allowed at weddings from December. Mr Houston said he was not asking for permission to"pack out" churches again but churches could abide by COVID-safe plans just like other venues.

NSW deputy chief health officer Jeremy McAnulty told Nine that relaxing restrictions was a decision for the government.

Ask Brian why they need to go to church. They can pray from anywhere. Its all about the money for this pedo protecting cult leader

This is a financial problem for Hillsong. How much do they make a year? 100m?

Can’t Christians pray from home?

Ah Hillsong. Isn’t that the church where if your father is a proven pedophile you lie to the congregation and pretend it never happened?

How silly of me....I thought we had something called the Internet 🤔.... is there no connection available from churches

MSMWatchdog2013 Are they?

It's all about the money for this cult leader and paedophile protector

Very Christian of him - money first souls second

Rock n roll fans suffer much more discrimination!

Losing money ?

Hopefully 🙏 they’ll go broke.

MSMWatchdog2013 It’s a cult. Jesus would not like how it’s panned out

Hurting your hip pocket is it 🤔

MSMWatchdog2013 Poor bugger, Covid19 is such an inconvenience. Already forgotten about the Hillsong Conference attendies exporting the the virus to the Barossa in SA.

MSMWatchdog2013 Like Fred Nile, Brian can't be much of a Christian if he doesn't follow the teaching that God is everywhere and that you don't need a building to preach.

MSMWatchdog2013 Brian should do what the TV evangelists in the USA are doing about COVID19, pray it away or blow it away?

MSMWatchdog2013 Oh seriously, discriminated against? F-ck off. And then F-ck off some more. Corporate Christianity can EABOD.

MSMWatchdog2013 Doesn't care about his followers. Only worried about packing them all in for the money they will donate. (Tax Free)

MSMWatchdog2013 Aww shucks. BTW about that infection spread after the International Conference?

MSMWatchdog2013 Pity he doesn't blast his paedophilic father. Hypocritical money grubbing drongo.

Go away.

Good they have a lot of past sins. Greed & sexualising cover ups come to mind

Hillsong is a privileged religious business that leans and bludges off Australian taxpayers. To suggest their business is being discriminated against is fanciful

Look, don’t worry Brian. I’m sure Scott will announce a Godkeeper package soon. And that’ll discriminate against every other church except yours. Might want to have a word with him though about making it more than an announcement, coz he doesn’t follow through that often.

Pfft, conman.

If money is the root of all evil why do you want so much of it Brian.

He's a conman and his religion is a sham. Is SBS now a propaganda organisation for fraudsters as well? ripABC SBSgoingthesameway

Talk to his mate Morrison maybe he can help out.

A narcissist is missing his audience.

Its not a religion, his is a cult, an elitist cult, that basically goes against all that Jesus believed in, a cult that caters to the very wealthy, very well off, well heeled, and has disdain and utter contempt for the poor, needy, hungry, homeless, unemployed and disabled.

Man Who Concealed Pedophile In His Church Cries Foul

How does it work that churches - especially Hillsong - receiving taxpayer money can moan that they are being discriminated against? It is utter rubbish.

why advertise for them ?. our band cant play will you report that?

Cry me River Houston. If you reported pedophiles as you are legally required, some might take a different view about so called 'Christians'. Nothing but a label.

What twaddle. Indoor gatherings are all restricted. As they should be.

Brian looking at the bottom line ......

According to that headline..Coronavirus is a church....Brian worried about competition

Isn’t God everywhere? That’s what my parents told me. Don’t need to go to church to pray.

i think Mr 94mill a yr man should pipe it

Hard to accept Hillsong as a Christian organisation given the focus on prosperity, it’s your fault if you are not, and the excesses of the leadership including the cover up of the founder’s child sexual abuse.

Stop. Peddling. This. Bullshit. Please. Stop giving this charlatan airtime.

Hillsong are not Christians. The Christians I know are happy to abide by the rules, help people, Socially Distance and not put others at risk.

Ban all religion! No discrimination.

I’m sure somebody cares about anything this flog says....

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Crook.

jeezus h tap dancing christ, why do we pander to minorities? The horse racing crowd got cancelled because it is a minority. 5-7% of Aussies do religion regularly. and Hillsong want to get a special minority exclusion just to make money? showtime for the minority nothing more

Scum

It’s a cult, close it down.

Congregations at ALL church services remain at just 100. Not just Christian services, so no discrimination. It should be noted that there isn't much non religious people can do by the 100's, so it could be argued they are discriminated FOR.

Profits must be a bit down this year.

Houston is no Gandhi. He is more philistine than Christian!

I thought God was everywhere... so they can easily pray from home Oh no forgot, this has nothing to do with God & faith, it's a business!

The laws arent discriminitive, everyone has to do it for their own safety.

realspaceblatt Not nearly enough coins to fill his trough, eh?

He’s losing money?

Nothing like cramming into a mega church with 300 other people to get connected. Never mind that singing is one of the biggest ways to spread it too.

Fvck im I say ☻

Get in the bn Brian Atheists are being discriminated against more!

Your father confessed to you that he had committed child abuse and yet, you refused to be interviewed by New South Wales police. Defending a pedophile is so Christian.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think your’e trying to boast BrianCHouston, some congregations struggle to reach 100 face to face. But it’s not all about numbers. Lack of communion can lead to divine silence. In times of peril Christians can communicate with God in private. ✝️

Donations must be down, poor bloke has Ferrari’s to buy

Good

His father was a pedophile and who was complicit and covered up his father's crimes Brian Houston is no better than a cult leader And as usual most are sexual perverts auspol BreakfastNews ThisIsNotJournalism

Remind me of Hillsong’s record on proportion of turnover spent on real public charitable work, and salaries, related party transfers, and profit, and tax paid. The annual report looks corporate growth focused !?

Fixed it for you - Paedophile protectors are being discriminated against. Hillsong

He can f*ck off so far away

HelenSm76464997 where does the law say it is only christians who can't congregate in more than 100? a law not being to your liking doesn't make it discriminatory, the religious are far too self entitled.

Must be cutting into profits

LadyPoop2 hillsong the Ferengi's of our world

You mean Pentecostals - Not Christians!!

🤢🤮

Oh f-ck the heck off, you greedy, hypocritical creep!

What he means is that his tax free profits are plummeting.

I'm Catholic. Attend Sunday Mass. I do not feel any religious discrimination. Most real Christians would understand the importance of keeping the virus level low in our community, so we can safeguard the most vulnerable members of society.

What NOT enough money being put in his pocket

Is Houston a Christian?

Self-entitled people loves “blasting” things up don’t they?

Ffs. Just don't

“I mean, how is any evangelical meant to make enough to buy property in Manhattan off 100 suckers, ahem, parishioners a week? I mean I don’t pay tax, but I donate enough to the Liberal party to have my own sucker, err parishioner, in charge of the country! Not good enough!”

Do you have to go to church to follow your faith, isn’t God everywhere?

Hider of child sexual abuse and under police investigation Brian Houston? That Brian Houston? The Brian Houston who did not report Frank Houston's crimes against a 7 year old child? That Brian Houston? CARC NSWPolice Hillsong JusticeforBrett MSMfail

Ohhhh shame! Who can tell me did Hillsong staff qualify for jobkeeper? I will assume so as priests did. But he’s discriminated against! Tell that to the arts sector, uni sector and all the other WORKING people of Australia!

Hillsong aren’t Christian. Hillsong are a prosperity gospel cult aka the very antithesis of ‘Christian’. That’s probably also why ScottMorrisonMP has had absolutely no compassion and sees everyone as bludgers, lefties, ‘illegals’, African gangs etc

I’m guessing revenue is down

Pay tax

Not making any money?

I though our lord was more pleased by one sinner who repents than 100s who already believe?

Translation: my usually bulging coffers are quite depleted and I need them to be refilled urgently.

He's going broke 🤣🤣🤣

How much tax does Bwian and his cult pay? Nothing? Not interested in his opinion. I am however interested why this gobshites opinion is plastered on MSM when he tried to cover up his fathers paedophile crimes.

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

Brian is used to doing the discriminating.

Fuck religions

daveyk317 Hillsong rubyprincess Hillsong - the cult were greed is good 😊

Ffs

So many things come to mind here but i will end up in twitter jail.. I figure if im going to jail it will be for something worthwhile like climate or punching a child predator.. Not this waste of oxygen..

Paying those large arena overheads without the donation plates must be cutting into those tax free profits Jesus wants him to have.

It’s good how he stands up for Christians - even though he isn’t one. 👏

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Not making enough money I bet! Nothing to do with christianity!

🖕🏼🖕🏼

🖕🏼🖕🏼

So sad. He’s had to survive on only 1 million this year rather than the usual.

Can SBS provide an update on police investigation into coverup of clergy child abuse at Hillsong?

There's false allegations that houston is christian must cease

Brain’s bank balance must be getting very low🤔

He would. Must have a terrible impact on the cash flow , love gifts. Pathetic.

MinhKular His donations are down are they?

Christians should be able to congregate, pray and sing in each other’s faces as much as they want. God will protect them.

Is it just me or does he look like a shonky real estate agent?

I’m so sick of being bullied & harassed by religious people. Why do I have to be subjected to all their rituals, anger & rules when I’m an atheist? Do I have the right to not be subjected to this? Why are my rights not respected?

No worries, his mate ScoMo will 'fix' it all.

They deserve to be discriminated against...they are such holier-than-thou pricks! They are not nearer My God to thee than anyone else. Think about that you presumptive creatures.

It’s all about the money ... money ....money

Well there have been Covid cases from churches

Impact income

Apply for Job Seeker from your mate Scomo

Typical a man who has plenty of money and it’s not enough. Brian Houston calls it discrimination and would be happy to let the virus rip through the congregation and then spread through the population just so he gets his donations.

Ask your mate Scott to fix it for you.

Religion should be outlawed

Oh dear, sounds like someone needs his dopey little sheep to come and give him money that he’s not taxed on

The 100 person limit applies to all religions, not just Christian services. Are any other religious organisations complaining about COVID19 Safety Plan discrimination? Or just Hillsong?

Religions are just very large cults. Giving them the special privileges they already enjoy because of their superstitions is discrimination against everyone else.

True ! Let’s stop this discrimination stuff and let churches pay taxes like all of us.

Are one remains allowed more? If not, then no.

Can’t they pray from home?

No donations?

Must be hard getting enough cash off only 100 people. 🤔

Diddums

Obviously not fleecing enough off the reduced flock!

Suck it up

MinhKular Multi millionaire Hillsong founder Brian Houston says Christians are being discriminated against. How so, is someone threatening to throw him to the lions?

GTFOH and pay taxes!

Losing cash

Maybe the coffers need refilling?

God is everywhere Houston. You don't need a building . It's a DIY thing and costs nothing. You are the Middle Man.

MinhKular Lol 😂 this guy should be been in stand up - he must be missing the $$$!

How’s ya Dad Brian?

Naw.... Daddy wants his cash money.

He needs more than that to fleece them of their hard earned money.

People don't have to attend a church to be decent, kind human beings. Very few folks want to join a cult.

More likely his income stream

How's this fella calling himself a Christian 🤦‍♀️

Ffs Brian, music lovers are being discriminated against. Music is my religion. It’s also great for my mental health. Be thankful you can have 100. Currently we can have no concerts or gigs at all in Victoria 😢

Stuff him and his happy clappers. You can pray at home just the same, you dont need a crowd to pray or jump up,raise your arm,clap you can do that at home safely so toughen up happy clappers

They should be discriminated against. It’s a cult. Here’s another thing brian houston said “a 14 yo tempted his father into sexually abusing them”. And you give this filth publicity? Pull your head in

No he is just losing money, which is more important to him than anything else.

Only 100 attendees? That tax-free tithe money must have slowed to a trickle 🤣🤣🤣 Poor brian must be living in poverty these days 😆😆😆

Houston's cult members are not Christians in any real sense of the word. Hell, they may as well be Scientologists!

I’m sure it’s disconcerting to have your income restricted but think of it this way- you still have tax exempt status; all profit baby

I don’t doubt that there are countries on this planet where Christians are discriminated against, but certainly not in Oz or the US. In the US this seems mainly because they can’t be favoured above other religions, because they have to share holiday venues, for example. 1/2

You don’t even pay tax! Get off your high horse.

Crazy man , he should be quiet , muslims are the ones discriminated against . We suffer the most through covid , unlucky after a few small gatherings.

This is rubbish. I'm more Christian than Houston, and I'm an atheist.

You know what Brian? You can still believe in the teachings of Jesus and not go near your church.

Ha ha . I reckon it's more likely that people are waking up to his greed and paedophilia support !! Demanding people give 10 % of their income

Saw his TV appearance complaining about the mental health of his brethren but I think it's more about how much money he gets from his congregation

Have a sook.

What's the matter, not enough people to fill the donation boxes. Jesus preached in small groups in fields and on the side of roads, but he did not need to fill a church to get donations. Money Money Money, in a conman's world.

It’s ok, all fixed this arvo, with churches now allowed up to 300. Does anyone else suspect old mate ScottyFromHorizon got Gladys to fix it for BrianfromHillsong ? 🤔

Naaaw this can only mean he's losing money

Boo hoo. Pity they have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

yeah, marketing hey, got to have the numbers to fill the pockets

Poor thing. Have a heart for all the airline and hospitality industry workers who have been devastated by the shutdown. They need a job. People don’t really need a building for prayer.

Why is this news?

BrianCHouston Christians being discriminated against? Don't recall health guidance singling out specific religions. In any case it is for protection of the population so play nicely & have sympathy for those of us who need science to protect us from SARS-COV2 that begat COVID-19

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that you have to go to church. Only to give thanks.

He's no christian

Very rich, coming from the bloke who's father - the one that set up his church - sexually abused children. Further, Brian, is being investigated for not reporting the abuse. Not a good look.

Should get a Go Fund Me page going. That way his followers need not attend, just wire money in

I totally disagree . Christians are among the more privileged groups in Australia, especially those strongly connected to the “powers that be”. We really have very little to whine about.

Let em have their numbers- don’t give any of em an ICU ventilated bed...MorrisonLies believes in miracles that should help

Boohoo!

Why is this even news?

If only there were some, I dunno, supreme being who could do something about it. Like, say, eradicate a troublesome virus. 🤷

Shut that cult down! And send Brian to prison

Maybe it's a sign that hillsong and other mega prosperity churches should close their doors, for good!!

This paedophile protector is only worried about the MONEY

Omg ScottyFromMarketing, quickly BrianHuston is running out of money! 😱😳

Their bank accounts must be getting smashed

Money getting tight?

Only the few that deserve it!

Wouldn't know a genuine Christian if he fell over one in his rush to grab a govt handout

Yer eell let him suck it up and hold on till its safe to oppen up not try running our state his only a crim any way

Christians?.. Lately I see no Christians.. just money grubbers.. J must behaving so many episodes of the vapours when he sees the destruct they have created

This moron is only peeved off because the money is drying up, maybe the Hillsong members have realised he is a fake

Let em in.... Let them go for it. Just shut them away from everyone else

Poor old Houston. Not getting any money from his collection plates.

Says the guy that protected his father

The restrictions apply to all religions, but no ONLY his one is being targeted... Entitled sod.

Uncle dodgies takings are down the poor money hungry evil prick💲💲💲💲💲hahafknha

Atheists are actually discriminated against daily - by being forced to subsidise other people's sky fairies and their institutions with our taxes. Hillsong having to adhere to a health directive is not discrimination. But keep taking pedo protector.

Greed kills

Utter BULLSHIT. He's a fraud and a grifter

He should consider getting into horse racing or running an AFL footy team. Both those “religions” seem to be having better lobbying success.

Until he apogises to children sexually abused by his Father they should not have large crowds ever.

Tithes starting to run out a bit there mate?

I thought god was everywhere? Or is it just that it’s harder to collect the money?

Seems like karma, religions have been discriminating against everyone else for a couple thousand years

Get a life😳

Brian Houston is not a Christian, not by a long stretch. He should spend a bit of time reading the Gospels.

Hillsong is not a church, it’s a prosperity cult

I don’t really care, do you?

Pray to God mate!

His cash cow isn't getting the return he had been hoping for.

Does he not have direct debit?

I would kill to know just how much actual Government money has found its way one way or another into this ‘free-tax’ gilded fortress.

From a pedophile protector.

Is he stuck in some sort of fairy land of magic dishes and talking serpents

Good . The less people who hear the garbage preached by your ‘church’ the better

he is not a Christian he is a money laundering cult

Separation of Church and State Bloody hell. 'Houston....shut up'

Hasn't he still not told the police, what he knows of his father's pedophilia?

Religion should be barred

Except he is not a Christian. Hillsong protect pedophiles, interfer in government and make billions of tax free dollars. This evil clown needs to be jailed.

Fucking boo hoo Brian.

What rubbish. What about other faiths!!

Mr Houston says he only blocks rude twits. I was very polite and am now block. I screen shot the three messages. He was being dishonest he blocks those that disagree with him

No discrimination! Atheist meetings are capped at 100 too! Just bugger off, Brian.

Oh , he really means he is not getting big enough crowds and enough 'donations' to fund his family's lifestyle in a manner they are accustomed to. Nothing to see here , just another money hungry fkwit who cares only about him self. Hillsong is just a money pit.

Losing money to fund your lifestyle, Bro?

To many “christians”, their definition of discrimination is when they are asked to comply with laws and regulations that everyone else has to follow. They are so used to being given privileged rights.

HooncheeW For safety’s sake, congregations, (incl. Brian Houston’s), should remain at 100 and only people over 18

Good, keep at it!!!👍🏻

POOR LITTLE POSSUM, NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FLEECE!

BrianHouston FuckOff

But Christian discrimination is ok if it means you don’t have to pay taxes...🤔

Wow. Do hope the congregation stay away for good, now they realise how much they have been conned by HillsongHouston. BTW is he receiving Jobkeeper while millions of people are unemployed and forced to live on $40 a day? Time to pay back fauxchristian

Can't make enough money

Hey acccgovau , Why are these businesses allowed to sell fake products to clearly deluded and deceived people? Surely consumer law dictates that any demand for payment for services must realise a real product or service, yeah?

Churches have been show worldwide to be great spreaders of Covid - glad handing, hugging, singing - they would be the last to be opened up unless they change their modus operandi as every other sector has done

Poor old Hillsong paedophile protectors. Their slush fund income must be suffering. So sad.

Poor Brian Houston - only 100 people in the congregation. Not so much money being gathered via their collection plate. Where would his business be without the PMs eg JobKeeper Rort even though 'Hillsong' & other religious group pay $ZERO Tax. ..While Casuals & homless get $ZERO

No, I think it's great he's standing up for Muslims and all other religions as well as his flock. That's what he's doing, right...?

This !! Product of Child rapist !!

Fewer attendees, the fewer that he can't bilk for cash.

Shame on you SBS for providing air time to a paedophile enabler and cult leader. ThisIsNotJournalism

He doesn't run a church he runs a cult. Only wants the extra people so he can extort more money

The gate takings must be down.

LOL he whining about being discriminated against where they tell you if your not a born again Christian your going to hell, this I did hear when attended with my x who was brainwashed by this cult.

Clearly it's God's will the restrictions are as they are. There's no other possible answer. Praise be.

And he would be correct. Open up churches the same as other venues are opening up now.

Ah so sad. Shifty SloMo's boss is unhappy. So much for NSW GOLDERN standard.

Only a for profit organisation cares about bums in seats, you can practice your religion in isolation but you can’t contribute to the collections box.

He and his cult should be put out of business completely

What a load of rubbish- and what a disservice to other Christians and people of faith who understand the concept of community, compassion and empathy. Have they not heard of Zoom?

Houston is one of those fake money making Christians.

Probably the Tithe isn't adding up and he can't pay himself!! Rot!!

Money talks. It whinges too.

Hillsong is not a church and Houston has zero credibility. Disgusting SBS.

I had a vision of a burning bush, through which a pair of sandalled feet appeared, and a deep voice echoed, “Prepare for Brian Houston’s crucifixon”!

NSW has just buckled and will now triple the number of people allowed in a church to 300.

That's crap, it's economics. Since COVID-19 he isn't getting as much money as he usually does, well booFUCKINGhoo

'Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets. — Matthew 7:12' Looks like he misunderstood the golden rule, unless he wants to get infected. Below needs to apply to Houston also.

Who cares? Plenty do by the comments 🤣🤣🤣

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go…” — God, Genesis 28:15, So quit whining. You’re covered.

Hillsong are NOT Christians. They are brainwashed youth as a business model. It's a cult. Period.

How christian of him to put $ and ego before health and safety of people. fauxtians taxreligion

The paedophile protector is running out of cash

He wants money, money, money. Jesus didn’t need churches

The pentacostal victim-hood is so fucking strong. People don't like pentacostal's because they're fucking weird and pretend to speak in tongues. They aren't being discriminated against, they just aren't liked.

Oh look, nutcase religion spreading pestilence again. Right on form 🙄. Also, - way to go head-lining his bullsh*t without comment. Try: “Extremist tax evaders demand right to spread Covid-19”

Oh whine away. The man is a opportunist taking advantage of the gormless

Its not like a bunch of them went swanning around the country after your last event and infected hundreds of people.

I hate it when you let the likes of Houston act as a spokesperson for Christian churches. You only have to have a quick look at Christ's message to realise that Hillsong and Christianity have nothing in common. Christ was all about others, Hillsong is all about themselves.

Okay, first start paying taxes, stop preying on children and stop using your morality to control what I can or can’t do...... then we will talk.

mikeaubrey2 Awww, poor Brian not raking in enough tax free cash. I’ll pray for you. 🙏🏻 ThoughtsAndPrayers parasite HellSong

😷He's real concern is loss of 💸💸💸💸for his cult 💩🤡😈😷

Isn't it the same rule for Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, corroborees and Penn & Teller shows? Or is he saying that it's unfair that Trump isn't in prison despite having so many fanatics crowded together?

No money in the coffers

What utter rubbish; Hillsong is just suffering like many other BUSINESSES

I'm still streaming church services. Houston still letting people know he's not following Christ but money and power.

If you can have that amount, then services for funerals should be the same.stop winging besides you don’t need a damm church or hall to talk to however you believe in. Guessing it is more about the loss of dollars my opinion only

how is he going to grift with such low attendances? He could spread The Word via the internet, but it's harder to make sure that people are filling up the collection plate that way

Sounds like his donations are down.

No💰💰💰 for poor Brian.

As long as all religious destinations (church, mosque, temple, etc) are treated the same then there is no discrimination against Christians. I assume he is just missing the extra cash that comes in from bums on seats instead of virtual congregations.

They can pray at home but can't fill that donation plate. Boo Fucking Hoo. What has the church done for struggling families this year.

That’s 100 too many.

What a lovely Christian he is. Showing us how much he cares for the most vulnerable in our community. Aren’t religious leaders the best 😏 COVIDIOTS Believethescience HillsongCult BetteMidler slpng_giants_oz MikeCarlton01 COVID19

How dare he have the temerity to speak on behalf of people who despise everything he stands for!

Is this the same discrimination, like, not paying taxes or setting up (business) structure to minimise tax payments? I’m not convinced they do ENOUGH for the community based on their size and income.

Awwwww......running out of money already? Living the lavish lifestyle costs heaps... maybe he should get a real job, reading palms or doing crystals....

Oh the hypocrisy

favfavalore Why is he speaking on behalf of Christians. Bizarre that a cult leader is supporting other religions.

WHY DO WE GIVE THIS GRUB SO MUCH AIR TIME JUST A WASTE OF SPACE.

Maybe he should blame God for giving us Covid-19 in the first place.

Hillsong is a cult of happy clappers, which rorts the system for all it can - e.g. They are a major recipient of funding from the School Chaplains initiative.

Are Christians more discriminated than a group of atheists that want to hold an assembly ? But then other churches are not for profit .

A Virus can not discriminate

Yea, how is he going to make any money out of 100 mugs. His business model to wealth requires thousands.

If your going to give them a platform they could at least pay some taxes

Terrific news! Must be unbearable for a narcissist not to have a crowd to worship him! When Brian refers to god he’s talking about himself!

Translation: I can't make enough money with these restrictions so lift them. If a few people die so be it.

People are dying of covid he is worried about prayers! The money isn’t coming in I guess! Church was the super spreader in Bankstownand related areas few months ago! Religious leaders are a joke no matter which religion they all full of shit

I thought god was everywhere and could hear us any time

pedosdownunder

This is not a church. This is a business.

What the fuck would he know about Christians?

He means the church bank accounts are being discriminated against.

It's Hillsong's business model to have big parties. Their idea of Christianity doesn't included Monastic hermits, nor Asceticism. Unlike many of the other great and genuine religions.

Poor Brian. He can’t get his happy-clappers to pay up if there’s no show. They need their fix of crowd induced hysteria and holy-molies. Perhaps he should join forces with other entertainers for govt assistance?

No they are not , but the truth behind this is that ‘The Hillsong’ business brand is having a hard time making money!

The longer our churches are restricted in the number of attendees the safer children are fron this paedophile protector & his ilk. Hellsong

Money Money Money

It must be hard to stay rich when you don’t get to fleece your flock every week.

He couldn't give a fk about the Christians, what about the cash flow. He can't make millions in empty churches and are Hillsingers finding out life is OK without turning up every Sunday and emptying their wallets.🤭

The lefty responders to this tweet are the equivalent of QAnons. What's the matter? Conviction bothering you?

Oh for crying out loud whyoander to these egos

Can’t he just pray away the rona

Houston, we have grift off.

I think it’s hilarious that Christians call out discrimination from the GLBTQI+ community

Makes you want to reach out....for a bit of 4x2.

People clap along in a prosperity cult run by a pedo protector. Can't we shut it down permanently and get the poor lost souls some help?

Shouldn't be any, it's a massive con job. HillsongCult

How would he know? he's a pedophile protecting cult member,not a Christian.

auspol As if Houston cares about discrimination when they have a strict dress code for women & he wasn't in a hurry to inform on paedophiles in the leadership of that organisation was he!

Dude, funeral max is 10ppl.

What a wanker

Diddems

Why can’t they do church on Zoom like tax paying businesses do?

God is fake news.

Most real churches ( the ones that don't demand $$$$$ to belong) would be thrilled to have 100 people at a service. He should be thankful for small mercies and get himself online if the message is more important than the money. Hillsong already have a Foxtel channel of their own.

I would hardly call him a Christian.

Did sums

Well, as a Christian, I don't feel discriminated against, I feel protected. We know that church services are superspreader events, and if you cared about the Church, Brian, you wouldn't even hold small congregation services. I'll pray for you, and for the strength to forgive you.

I thought their “meeting” online? Its in their ads...Shouldn’t be a big issue for this cashed up org... i guess missing out on those merchandising revenues (books, music cds, etc) takes a toll after some time without actual live congregations..😒

Seeing this reminds me of that time Hillsong posted on Twitter about their feelings about the US president.

If I had my way it would be way.. way worse Brian.

Who gives a - bunch of money hungry pedo supporters

Why doesn’t he just ask God to help out? Serious question. Or is he not a true believer in the cause he so enthusiastically espouses.

It does seem odd that there are less restrictions at pubs, weddings and footy games than at churches

Hillsong is a money making machine - a price people are willing to pay to feel ok.

Houston’s income from his mega “church” has dropped below a million dollars a week? He wants people back in his theatre at Norwest, putting money into his account?

They must be losing so much money through their Sunday contributions. What a crook! As a Christian do not speak on my behalf. I’m supporting the lockdown and saving lives. Lives before profit

He wants to get back into business $$$

Children are being discriminated against when a know paedophile protector is allowed to “OWN” a church.

Scomo mate having a sook!! Trying to rock the political boat for his liberal mates. What a sinner

I don’t usually quote passages from the bible, but in relation to this bloke, exception is essential. Proverbs 17:4 “An evildoer listens to wicked lips; A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.”

Yes. Discriminated against. Maybe they should take a close look at Hillsong’s finances? Oh, yeah, ScottMorrisonMP wouldn’t do that, would he?

christians are people that believe in a fictional character and should receive no special benefit his church just needs more suckers to give to the weekly cash flow for his church

Do you want to give oxygen to someone who was refused entry to the most corrupt White House in history?

The bigger the congregation the larger the 💰💰 ka-ching $$

I would have though 100 Hillsongers in 1 room was way too many

Ask him whether his church believes in QAnon:

This charlatan Houston does not speak for Christians, so he can FO.

I suspect that mosques, synagogues, Hindu & Buddhist temples all have the same crowd limits so quite how this singles out Christians baffles me.

Hillsong is Christian?

Brian Houston isn't a christian; he's a conman who preys on christians to obtain their money. Hillsong is business that infiltrated the highest levels of our government to pass itself off as a religion for tax evasion purposes.

Awwww poor diddums - not enough people to bleed dry....so sad - NOT!

Hillsong is a cult, they are fake and worship the $ not God, all a bunch of Morons.

Money must be running short

Oh come on, WHY can’t BrianCHouston Be honest surly you’re Not making your $$$$$$ quota. You are just annoyed you not able to sting your flock multiple times at church to pay for your accustomed lifestyle. Don’t need to be in church to worship. shameful

One world religion is coming whats he gonna do then, he knows they are working against the Lord that is clear

So he pays no tax & SBS (taxpayer funded media network), tax payers just forked out double for his existence and free promotion. If he wants to have a say, PAY SOME TAX Grifter

Stiff shit...what about the LNP discrimination re employing older people...in fact I could go on about such things all day

No more than any other section of the population. He must be seeing the lack of cash coming in each week from the donation plate at the church.

Hillsong is a crazy cult using the term 'Christian' to try and garner wider appeal. Even by their own estimates they have 43,000 members in all of Australia which is not even .002% of the entire population of 25,000,000. Unfortunately one of them is our PM.

Pedophile protector should be in prison. Why is he given a platform?

No they are not.

Muslims had to celebrate Ramadan and Eid in their homes. Get over yourself.

Whiney evangelist.

Why on earth are the media giving this guy a platform? HillsongCult LNPfail PedophileProtector

The restrictions must cost him millions..... poor brian...NOT

Online fundraising not as effective? Heard of the global epidemic? Other faiths also affected by the virus? Honestly.

Clearly with a major pandemic hitting the world, they clearly have no care for the health and well-being of their parishioners. The restrictions are appropriate, but this is highly contagious, and if not handled properly can quickly escalate.

Cant fleece the customers if you haven’t got time to brainwash them in person.

Where is Jesus where you need him to flip over the money tables in the temple(s)? First to discriminate, first to judge and first to whinge, last to account. Shameful really auspol Hillsong

When the nation gets to vote on the validity of his career he can claim discrimination but until then he’s obliged to obey social distancing rules like every other business or person.

Whinger

What would he know about christians? He runs a cult for the occult

WhaT IS HE WORRIED ABOUT? $ONATIONS?

This is happening everywhere in recent years. Zuckenflog and Twitters toxic community standards don’t help either.

Too bad, so sad!

He’s loosing $$$$$ pay tax

Where's ma MONEY!!!

money drying up

He wants to make this an issue.

He is right it is discrimination

Brian Houston is a disgraceful human being. You should not be airing his disgusting opinions. The only news we should hear about involving him is going to jail for covering up child sex abuse.

He needs to FO!!

I call BS. Multi millionaire, who protected his father a paedophile, got special mention at Royal for his behaviour & to blaming a child for seducing him. To refusing to go to police interview about it..yeah he's a victim.. Why give money to this scum

Just concerned for the income.

Dont worry, Scotty will fix it for you.

Perhaps a 'Soul Keeper' program is next? ;-)

Absolutely. Should be set a ZERO for their own mental health & safety of their children

Oh cry me a river, Brian Houston!

Everything this man does is for money

angela__888 Awwww boo hoo!

Hillsong founder and paedophile protector Brian Houston.

Liberal atheist will try to destroy us....was fortold remember

Oh get over it, Brian, there’s a pandemic.

He's sad cause he can only con 100 people at a time

But I thought the lord was with you everything you went? Now the message is the lord is in a set location and your bank account details are required.

Lock him up

Why are you giving this random air time? Oh that’s right, he is mates with our lazy PM

One of his most prominent members is a compulsive liar - not very Christian

GayleNewshound Shut them down - they are not churches, they are money-making tax-avoiding indoctrination businesses.

His made up religion so he can make money off vulnerable and desperate people? Spare me.

if anyone needed their hard drive checking....^^^^

Does Hillsong have a collection box like other churches ⛪️ just asking because other churches are not complaining that I’ve heard of!

Honestly, who cares?

This parasite is more concerned about not being able to milk his cash cows.

Doesn’t he have a paedophile to defend?

Apparently the definition of 'discrimination' is when a faithless grifter isn't able to run his grift.

China's economy grew 4.9 per cent in the third quarter of 2020China is continuing to steadily recover from the economic turmoil caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
