Extremist Pastor Hit With DUI And Weapons Charges

May 17, 2022 Christianists, Extremists

Religion News Service reports:

A Montana Baptist pastor who has spent years warning that liberals were taking over the Southern Baptist Convention and evangelical churches, was arrested on DUI and weapons charges. Jordan Daniel “J.D.” Hall, pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church in Sidney, Montana, and publisher of the online Christian polemics site Protestia, was arrested on May 11 after a traffic stop.

Hall allegedly had slurred speech, stumbled and had poor balance, according to a copy of the complaint filed against him, which was also posted online. During the stop, police also allegedly found a concealed handgun. The pastor performed poorly on a field sobriety test, according to the police report, but a breathalyzer did not find evidence of alcohol in his system.

No booze but a DUI. Hmmm.

Hall earned national headlines last summer for offering “religious liberty” COVID vaccine exemption letters and for threatening to post billboards doxxing “COVID snitches.”

In 2017, he was dragged out of a Montana church after screaming that its female pastor was banned from preaching according to scripture.

In 2014, he was accused a bullying a pastor’s son into suicide after attacking the teenager on Twitter.

Earlier this year Hall declared bankruptcy after being sued for libel by a transgender activist for allegedly lying about an incident at the state capitol building.

Hall, the publisher of the banned-by-Facebook Pulpit & Pen (now Protestia), is also the publisher of the far-right Montana Gazette.

In the 2021 clip below, Hall speaks at the home of Montana state Sen. Theresa Manzella, who appeared on JMG in November 2021 for declaring that gays who get beaten for holding hands in public get what they deserve. Manzella cheerily introduces him at the start of the clip.
