Pastor remains defiant

Aylmer Church of God (Restoration) Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, soon after being fined and seeing an order issued to have that church padlocked for defying provincial COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, declared during an online livestream Friday, May 14, “Nothing will deter us. Nothing will stop the people of God.”

He had mixed feelings following the court ruling, he claimed. “In one way, we greatly rejoice we are deemed worthy to suffer a little bit of what those before us have suffered.

“In another way, it is sad to see that a country that calls itself a Christian country would reach a depth so low as to what we have seen this morning.”

“This is the price you pay when you leave God. This is the price you pay.”

Governments, he claimed, were allowing public health officials “to push judges to make criminals out of law-abiding citizens.

    What can anyone say?
    The Pastor is a naughty boy, leading his Flock into naughty behavior,

    Thus Spake The Law
    IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BAD, Eh?
    Next they’ll be beating “common sense” into their children.
    Or maybe…

    The true danger from this Cult is that an internal communal spread of the covid-19 virus

    would be suppressed by this cult, thus allowing it to silently infiltrate this gentle town of

    Law-abiding citizens.

    This is a Global Pandemic. War with a Virus as the combatant. War measures are in order!
    My parents survived WWII.

    They made great sacrifices.
    Is praying at home, instead of at church, much to ask?
    But, but, cult-leaders might lose sway over their sheep. lol.
