Persecution in California

[mossrose]

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

Church was open as it has been.

Here is the GCC attorney's press release from yesterday with the decision by the appellate court.

Now the county is filing papers to hold John in contempt of court.

The truth, of course, is that the county is guilty of contempt of the court of God.

They're also going against the constitution. Hence, they are breaking their own laws.

Prayers for wisdom and God's Will.

This is great news! Pray these kind of rulings continue!

And apparently they're due back in court (for the fourth time) on Monday.

Thank you for posting that. I didn't know how.

At this point, they're just being pedantic jackasses and trying to either bully him into submission or nail him on something illicit. But that's Commiefornia for you.

From my earlier post, in the statement from Attorney Ellis for GCC:

You can find the link to the entire declaration on the site where I got the article.

The same judge is presiding today that was on the bench last week. I don't think the county has a hope that this one will go any better.

Good thing Grace Community Church has the deep pockets to fight the government over this. Probably many churches would have folded because they couldn't afford the expense.

I don't know as they have "deep pockets". Most of the money they receive in offerings, over and above operating expenses, is used to support the hundreds of missionaries they have around the world. Money that comes in from donors, like me, are used to produce the free resources they send out to people who want them. Maybe part of what I send them goes to missionaries, too. The Thomas More Society is defending them, and I don't know where they get their funding from.

That's something I haven't bothered to check. They haven't asked for money from people from the pulpit, nor in their monthly mailings.

The hearing on Sept. 04 is the one set by the original judge 3 weeks ago. At that time the church agreed to the judge's request for social distancing and masks, but the county didn't want to allow them even that compromise.

Of all the low-down, sneaky things for the county to pull...

The County of Los Angeles decided to circumvent the order. The County's Public Works Department Issued a 30-day termination notice to the church for a lease agreement for a large portion of the parking lot, which has been in place continuously since 1975.

According to the documents reviewed by Townhall, the church has to evacuate the property on October 1. Any items that are left in the parking lot at that time will be considered County property.

Jenna Ellis, the Special Counsel to the Thomas More Society and legal counsel for the church, said this is a way for the County to retaliate against her client.

"Los Angeles County is retaliating against Grace Community Church for simply exercising their constitutionally protected right to hold church and challenging an unreasonable, unlawful health order. In America, we have a judicial system to ensure that the executive branch does not abuse its power, and Grace Community Church has every right to be heard without fear of reprisal," she said in a statement. "The Democrats' message to Americans is clear--if you don't bow to every whim of tyranny, the government will come after you. The Church has peacefully held this lease for 45 years and the only reason the County is attempting eviction is because John MacArthur stood up to their unconstitutional power grab. This is harassment, abusive, and unconscionable."

If the county is deliberately trying to make themselves look bad, they're doing a terribly good job at it.
