As many as 150 demonstrators gathered near Newbury Park's Godspeak church, some supporting its defiance of a judge's order, others denouncing the indoor services.

Minor scuffles erupted Sunday morning between rival demonstrators outside Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park, which welcomed congregants in defiance of a judge’s order forbidding indoor services as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus.

“We have deputies on scene right now, just addressing issues with minor scuffles,” Buschow said. Video footage showed pushing and screaming but no serious injuries.The church has held indoor services since late May, and county healthy authorities have complained that parishioners have not been using masks or practicing social distancing as they pack inside.

“Really, all we’re doing is having church,” McCoy said Saturday on the church’s YouTube channel. “Folks are coming out of the woodwork to support us.”McCoy warned parishioners that authorities might cite them for violating a Ventura County judge’s order, however. Some parishioners have said they would happily frame such citations, but he told them not to take it lightly.

There goes orange again

Personally I don’t care if they all meet up and lick each other, but I just saw this pastor on Good Day LA, and he sure did hit all of the white trash Trumpster bullet points. This guy sucks.

& they should.

I guess this god they pray to will protect them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good

And those in attendance and those that lead them shall, in their divine ignorance, go forth and multiply the pandemic among all the people in the land.

The coronavirus signed an agreement with this church to stay outside during the service. The agreement has been witnessed and notarized. However, churchgoers didn't realize the virus DID NOT AGREE to stay clear of the doors, so when they enter and exit... dum de dum dum

This novel step by Christians to skip messy sectarian violence and just kill each other directly is one of my favorite new signs of the apocalypse!

Good!!

Praise the living God!

Maybe they should start paying taxes.

They should have to sign a waiver to healthcare. Why should healthcare providers be put in harms way because of this group?

Welcome to Ventura County.
