Montana Anti-Gay Hate Pastor Fired For “Serious Sin”

The Christian Post reports:

More than a month after his arrest on DUI and weapons charges, Fellowship Baptist Church in Sidney, Montana, has removed Pastor Jordan Daniel “J.D.” Hall from ministry due to allegations of “serious sin.”

Hall, known for his scathing criticisms of Christian leaders on his now-defunct polemics website Pulpit & Pen and, more recently, Protestia, has also been axed from those ministries.

While church leaders who staunchly defended Hall after his arrest have yet to make a public statement on his removal, Protestia announced his resignation in a statement on Sunday. The group also revealed that the online publication will no longer function as a ministry of Fellowship Baptist Church.

Read the full article. The piece does not specify the nature of Hall’s “serious sin.”

Hall has claimed that his failure to pass the roadside sobriety test was due to a “documented Vitamin D deficiency.” A breathalyzer test showed no alcohol in his system.

He last appeared on JMG in May 2022 when he admitted fabricating a claim that a transgender activist had menaced a state senator who, he claimed, later sought protection from the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms.

Hall’s admission cleared the way for the activist to settle a $250,000 defamation suit, although Hall has since declared bankruptcy.

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.

Hall is pals with Montana state Sen. Theresa Manzella, who appeared on JMG last fall when she declared that gays who get assaulted for holding hands in public are getting what they deserve.
