They're empty because people are afraid to go to places in communities where you gather at certain SAME times, SAME days of the week, etc.  The nutjobs who are off their rockers are just looking for places like this to create turmoil and cause chaos.

There are more churches and schools that will suffer this fate because we allow psychiatrists, who are as FAKE as the FAKE NEWS, to continue their dark magic and hand out toxic mind-bending pills which do absolutely no good for those people who are prescribed them as a "life boat" in a stormy sea.  These people are actually far better off with a placebo and then go to see their minister for talk therapy. 

Psychiatrists are the scum of the earth.
