far out sheeple! THE. MASKS. DO. NOT. WORK, how many more times do I have to tell people this?? This all about control and symbolism, nothing else . Stop allowing satan to control your thoughts and values. Are you really sure you are christians?? My soul is grieving right now seeing how many are inadvertently supporting satan and his agenda. Please repent. View attachment 219579
Why have doctors always worn masks? Of course there is evidence that they help at least slow or minimize infections.

And why would someone who believes it does help protect be suspect of not being a christian?

I think it is far more likely that when you say that someone who is persuaded that masks help protect contagion are having their thoughts controlled by satan that you would be the one that is guilty of having evil thoughts.

To suspect the godliness and holiness and Christlikeness of a person who believes that masks help prevent infection sounds more like satanic condemning judgmental evil thoughts to me. What were you thinking!!? :eek:

This is totally irrelevant to the current discussion. However, there are two reasons: (1) doctors and surgeons must ensure that they do not contribute to bacterial and viral infection in patients, and (2) they are working around sick people all day long. However when it comes to coronavirus, here's your answer:

'Masks Make Us Slaves': Massive Anti-Lockdown Protest in Berlin

"...Protesters who came from across the country held up homemade signs with slogans like “Corona, false alarm,” “We are being forced to wear a muzzle,” “Natural defense instead of vaccination” and “We are the second wave.” They chanted, “We’re here and we’re loud, because we are being robbed of our freedom!”..."

This is what I believe grieves the Lord, the gospel and the truth is watered down to such an extent that it loses its power. Then mankind values and ideals tale hold, with dire consequences. Without a one on one personal relationship with Jesus Christ, taken with great strength and conviction, you will never see the truth

not making that up. as of what I read yesterday from the governor here, face shields where listed as not approved.....

copied from "THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR"

b. “Face covering” means a piece of cloth or other material that is worn to cover the nose and mouth completely. A “face covering” includes but is not limited to a bandanna, a cloth face mask, a disposable or paper mask, a neck gaiter, or a religious face covering. A “face covering” does not include face shields, mesh masks, masks with holes or openings, or masks with vents.
This all about control and symbolism, nothing else .
As is illustrated very vividly by the paragraph in the first quote above.

Considering the nature and purpose of the thing - a face shield is not better than any cloth face mask??????????

Yeah - right!

Well, several counties here have sheriffs saying "we wont respond to calls about complaints for people not wearing mask"
however, they go on saying if a place of business calls with complaints that they asked someone to cover up or leave and they don't leave that then they will respond. NOT because of the face covering or lack of but because the business has asked for a person to leave who wont.......

We're like really who is going to enforce this "fines as high as $200 for not complying"
this is supposedly until the end of Sept unless something happens to extend it or the Republicans are successful in getting it lifted.

I really think it is laughable how the people that are anti choice are the same people that are pro choice for this ,but when somebody gets an abortion it has no physical affect on you but someone who does not wear there mask has a huge affect on me ..and if you are surrounded by people with Corona are you gonna pro-choice then?

does it fit around your face hair properly?
I cant help but laugh when I see a guy with a long beard wear a mask and all this hair is hanging out.......
I saw one person made a mask to look like a beard, they were going for the Bob Ross look......
All masks except medical grade masks are mostly nonsense and the word "protocol" and wearing masks is to make people feel safe or like something is being done. Obviously, I will uphold whatever the law is wherever I am that's not a matter of opinion. Unless I'm required to do something un-Christian.

How should Christians respond to a mandate to wear masks in public?
I do not wear a mask unless I enter a place where I am required to wear one. That is only if I go to the doctor, DDS, etc. I am of the opinion that mandating masks is overstepping authority for one's freedom to choose.

Healthy people need not wear them and breathe back into their respiratory system what they just breathed out. The only masks which truly work are those worn by doctors, nurses, etc. My daughter is a critical care nurse and she is not supportive of the masks (cotton) which is what most people have to wear. I am in agreement with her.

I don't think that anyone in the world likes to wear masks but it has worked for the rest of the countries.

Here we have been told to wear a mask on public transport and in stores unless one has underlying health issues. Now suddenly there is a pandemic of these mystereous health issues and of people who dont know the difference between two metres and two inches.
My underlying health issue is with those determined to dice with death and force me to join them in finding out what six foot looks like

Sorry, but you have been scammed by satan, which really concerns me when this is meant to be a christian forum. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it come to the evidence I have come across. I mean for goodness sakes, our government here is even telling people to put a home made piece of cloth or a scarf around there mouth and noses! This is nonsense of course, and is part of silencing mankind and have them follow satanic rituals.

Conspiracy or no conspiracy, Christians have battles to fight, and this one isn't it. If it offends your neighbor and they think you're not caring about them by not wearing a mask, then just wear a mask. If they go completely loopy and are offended because they think you are only 3-foot social distancing, I would probably draw the line there.

Have ye not heard of E Bay. Verily on this web site offers of face shields can be found
which allow the wearer to not only talk plainly but to be recognised by the hearer.
In far off Pagan days Plastic was unheard of so any occult activity was practiced
by using masks made of something else. If wearing masks is a fiendish plot I
wonder how E Bay and others can get away with selling shields. It confirms my
opinion that a lot of stuff on the web is a load of twoddle.
