The pastor of a Tampa megachurch is facing charges after refusing to close its doors despite a "safer at home" order in effect in Hillsborough County, meant to stop the spread of COVID-19. The sheriff says up to 500 people were in attendance at Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne's Sunday services.
Howard-Browne, 58, turned himself in Monday afternoon after Sheriff Chad Chronister and State Attorney Andrew Warren on Monday announced an arrest warrant had been issued for charges of unlawful assembly and violating public health emergency rules of isolation and quarantine. Howard-Browne was released 40 minutes later after posting a $500 bond.
The River at Tampa Bay Church held two services Sunday, Chronister said, and even offered bus transportation for those services. The church's live stream showed a packed crowd cheering and applauding.

Re: Tyranny in America?
Trump administration importing foreign workers while Americans crash and burn... Military troops manning checkpoints and going door to door... State Police manning the border with a neighboring state (forget about the southern border, though, right?)... Pastors being arrested/fined/charged... Churches closing/shut down/ceasing to assemble... Private companies being "inventoried" for confiscation of goods for government purposes... Snitch on your neighbors... Food shortages, breadlines, rationing... Fake phony "mainstream news" propaganda 24/7...
Somebody tell me how this is anything BUT bolshevik soviet style tyranny being rolled out?

Because the charismatics called them to their big buildings. While the Apostolics were having home church, and avoiding the dog and pony show.

Esaias,
Why does it matter that a charismatic pastor got arrested? what if that happened to a kingdom hall meeting or an islamic meeting? would you be concerned?
Charismatics do not preach the apostolic message anyway, so what's the big deal.
Like EB says, it's all a dog and pony show while true apostolics are having good church at home anyway.

This is so pathetic. Dont you realize many "Apostolics" used to be "Charismatic"? All Charismatic gatherings are a dog and pony show?
Apostolics having good Church at home? Since were painting with a broad brush this isnt what Im hearing from Apostolic Pastors. The ones I have heard are deeply grieved that they cant meet in the "house of God" by which they mean the Church building.
They are saying how great it is to be together and "feel the presence of God".
While it is good to meet together I think if we did not have the Church meeting some (not sure how many) would just fall away and go back to living for self. They are not used to serving Jesus in their daily life.
They pray and rejoice in the Church building but they feel awkward praying and worshipping Jesus at home. Being a disciple to them is all about the Church building meeting.
Some will be better off in this situation because it will help them see beyond man. It will help them begin to sense that Jesus is with them anywhere and everywhere. Others not used to seeking God and feeling his presence except at Church, who have previously put other things before Jesus through the week anyway will soon forget about him.
Yes I get what Esaias said.
FIRST they came for the Charismatics. Focus on the word FIRST.
