Retail giant Walmart is the latest to announce new restrictions inside its stores to help promote social distancing and limit the spread of the coronavirus. Walmart is making changes to help limit the spread of the coronavirus. (Source: Jace Barraclough/KNOP) The company said it will allow no more than five customers per 1,000 square feet at a given time starting Saturday. This is roughly 20 percent its normal capacity. Employees will admit customers one-by-one while counting to enforce this restriction. Once the store reaches capacity, customers will be allowed in on a “one-in-one-out” basis. There will be only one-way movement in the stores once customers are inside. This is to help promote social distancing and keep people at a distance from each other while shopping. Walmart has previously added sneeze guards and social distance markers in stores. It also is no longer operating any of its stores 24 hours a day so employees can do a thorough cleaning each night.

Good Morning … I have a question I wish to present to you with respect to the following quote: Yeah - who can disagree with that? You can say now that both Walmart and Costco will disagree with that since they are both severely limiting the number of customers in their stores. Since the good preacherman used these two companies as a justification for his action – or actually the lack of thereof – do you think he will now follow suit out of his concern for the potential serious harm to the health and the possibly of death to his beloved faithful parishioners? Or will simply sanitizing the church daily still be enough? What do you think …
Churches should figure out their square footage. Have several services through out the day with each service limited to the same rules that apply to Walmart, Costco. Put a sneeze guard in front of the pulpit for you, Gatlin, because I know you like to sit in the first pew.
That you lack faith. That you don't like the constitution. You don't think the constitution is relevant and the words in it don't mean anything specific to your mind. That you well nevermind.
*shrugs* You'll have to ask him, but I believe he will continue to hold services until they SWAT him and his church. There is a possibility of death anytime you walk out the door. Why should Christians be denied the opportunity to worship together?
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25
Unless the government says "No", according to some here. So what is Hizzoner up to now? Not much really…just threatening to permanently shut down churches. During a press conference streamed online, de Blasio announced: “I want to say to all those who are preparing the potential of religious services this weekend — if you go to your synagogue, if you go to your church and attempt to hold services after having been told so often not to, our enforcement agents will have no choice but to shut down those services. Law enforcement will inform them they need to stop the services and disperse. If that does not happen, they will take additional action up to the point of fines and potentially closing the building permanently.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. That you lack faith. That you don't like the constitution. You don't think the constitution is relevant and the words in it don't mean anything specific to your mind. That you well nevermind. You of course are entitled to your opinion. I’ve noticed often that your opinions are submitted to simply justify saying some crazy non-sense. You need to realize that your opinion is merely “the expression of a belief.” Pay attention now – unlike certain other propositional attitudes such as "perception" and "knowledge," opinions can absolutely be false. Therefore, I think it would be a better discussion in you were to cease with making abusive remarks relating to me instead of providing evidence when responding to my posts. After all, you are the owner of this forum and you should therefore act dignified to set a shining example instead of continuing you constant asinine personal name calling and insulting attacks on the posters who come to your website for information and discussion – the posters did not come here to be the blunt of your immature frustrations. I could say here: “Grow the fuck up” But I will not since that would be nasty and immature and I can “perceive” from your posts that you are a desperate person with deep problems. So, if making personal attacks on me – and the other posters you lavish them upon – is of any therapeutic value to you – then carry on. Respectfully …
So you say … And that can only mean that you are someone with a fatalistic approach to life and someone who believes outcomes are determined in advance and can't be changed. I however do not believe as you do, that destiny controls you – For I believe that I control my own destiny. Fatalistic often relates to bad things, as you so notably declared here. Your ce que se sera approach to life reflects a fatalistic attitude toward situations, chances are that means you are expecting things to turn out badly and you see no point in trying to change that outcome. Unlike you, before I walk through any door – I am going to know what is on the other side … Respectfully … Just for you:
Anytime you get in a car, cross the street, you are risking death. That's just how it is. For I believe that I control my own destiny. Tell me that after you are T-boned by a driver running a red light or hit by a drunk driver. You do not control your own destiny - that is the height of arrogance. Most people understand that when they become adults.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Psychological projection is a defence mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target. It incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping. Projection tends to come to the fore in normal people at times of personal or political crisisbut is more commonly found in personalities functioning at a primitive level as in narcissistic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. It is as I posted here you are a fatalist. Not “after” tjat – I will tell you I ten ways to avoid car accidents “before” that. Respectfully …

That’s all well and good. And I understand. Now, I suffest you stop doing it.
No thanks. Been driving for 60 years. Do not need any whacked-out advice from you. The point is still the fact that no one controls their destiny. You do not know when you will die.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Christians in other countries have assembled at the risk of their very lives. Faith is a vital necessity to all but the godless among us. Will be interesting to see how much persecution the Democrats inflict on believers of all faiths. And will some faiths receive more persecution than others?
If it is as you say, that I don’t control my own destiney – then say unto me “who” does control my destiny. I would sincerely hope – and pray – that those “adults” of whom you speak know that when believing in Scripture we have learned that it teaches us as “adults” to understand that humans are created with the ability to make moral choices and that we as “adults” are responsible for those choices. Therefore, ones ability to control his/her destiny will depend upon whether they live in harmony with God and follow His moral teachings. Consequently: It is our very own responsibility to decide our destiny! I just looked up and found 21 Bible Verses that fully support the declaration I made. I will not bother to go hotlink them for you. In stating your fatalistic belief and so strongly supporting it, it is perceived as quite obvious that it has been too long since you have studied the Bible and perhaps it is time for you to do so now … Respectfully …
Interesting yet ludicrously desperate, attempting to sum up my beliefs with a song? (BTW, it's Que Sera Sera.) ...the future's not ours to see... Which is what the song is really about. No one can see the future, just as no one can predict what will happen when they drive to the store. ...chances are that means you are expecting things to turn out badly Expecting things to go badly? Yes, of course. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Which is why I drive and move about completely aware of what might or could happen and expecting the unexpected. "Situational Awareness" it's called. You can look it up. I don't quite grasp why you would deem that a "fatalistic attitude". and you see no point in trying to change that outcome. You can't stop or change something that is already destined to happen, but you can prepare and plan for any scenario that may come up while out and about. Carrying a pistol is an option depending where you live. The point is if trouble is going to happen, then it's best to be prepared for it.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Respectfully …
BTW: That is the title of the song. I however was not referring to the song when I said: That is the correct French usage of the phrase – look it up. Respectfully …
I however was not referring to the song when I said: Yet you posted the song first in post 8. That is the correct French usage of the phrase – look it up. Pardonnez-moi votre Altesse Royale, ma compréhension de la langue française pâle par rapport à la vôtre
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Apples and oranges. You're trying to compare spiritual destiny with physical.

Nope, you are tap dancing and trying to spin …
I agree that is up to us to change our destiny and that our action or inaction will effect it.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.
That is NOT whay you have been saying all this time. It is I who have repeatedly said that I [we] can control my [our] destiny. Finally – Geeeze …
My point remains: No one can see the future, just as no one can predict what will happen when they drive to the store.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. You are confused. That was not your original point. Stop with the spin …

Any thoughts on this troubling development, or you just going to play your silly little games?

Law enforcement will inform them they need to stop the services and disperse. If that does not happen, they will take additional action up to the point of fines and potentially closing the building permanently. Given the choice that you so graciously afforded me – Of course, I had rather play my silly little games. It is so much more enjoyable doing than to unnecessarily worry about something I cannot control. [You see how I can control my destiny.] BTW – Speaking of silly little games. Did Stone ever contact you. He should have. He asked me: “Do you suck dick?” I told him that I did not – I was not that kind. I then told him to try you. I digress – Back on point … If what “Big Bird” is doing is legal, then he can do it. If it is not legal, he will do it anyway and later be will hopefully be sued or challenged in court if it was not legal. I have no controlling power as to what “Big Bird” does – So, I am here to testify that: “ What happens in New York – Stays in New York.” At least we should all hope and pray that it does … Respectfully> I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. But as it happens a couple times a day now, my meal was delivered from my favorite 5 star restaurant. And it was highly enjoyable …
Corrected Ping ...
Yet you deny the right for churches to stay open when they do the same thing. Disgusting little hypocrite.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. 7. James 4:13-15 Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog–it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” 8. Proverbs 27:1 Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Expensive too, I bet!
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Yet you deny the right for churches to stay open when they do the same thing. We have not been discussing “churches” – we have been only discussing one church, the Life Tabernacle Church in the city of Central, a suburb of Baton Rouge. Now show me where the Life Tabernacle Church added sneeze guards and social distanced 1265 people last Sunday – and then we will continue our discussion on this one point. I shall be “respectfully” waiting for your reply …
Expensive too, I bet! Relatively speaking – It was not. And worth it. I decided if I must hunker down – then I am damned well going to hunker down in first class style. Using your line of thinking – for who knows – the day this hunker down order is lifted – I may step onto a railroad track and get hit by a freight train traveling ay 60 mph. Destiny – Ya know …
Gee, were they offering a free salad bar?

I am reminded – there are quite a few instances in Gunsmoke where people argue by quoting Bible verses at each other. One example ... It is too often that I have seen people try to “out scripture” each other and I have no interest in doing that since it proves nothing. Move along now. Respectfully …
Gee, were they offering a free salad bar? Sarcasm does not hide ignorance. Respecctfully …
"Is it any more irresponsible than people going into Costco where there's a thousand people, a WalMart where there's 300 people, and I'm not posing any more of a threat than the people who are at the mall right now...it seems that the church is being persecuted because we are an easier target.

… that the choices we make will alter our destiny. For example, God appeals to wrongdoers, saying: “Turn back, please, every one from his bad way and from the badness of your dealings . . . that I may not cause calamity to you.” (Jeremiah 25:5, 6) This appeal would be pointless if God had already fixed each individual’s destiny. Moreover, God’s Word states: “Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get your sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the person of Jehovah.” (Acts 3:19) Why would Jehovah ask people to repent and turn around if he knew beforehand that they could do absolutely nothing to change their destiny?
