He tells local media that he&rsquo;s not convinced he was infected at the church and that he could have easily picked up the virus anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I went to Albertson&rsquo;s twice a day,&rdquo; he said while hooked up to an oxygen tank in a hospital bed. &ldquo;I went to Sam&rsquo;s. I went to Walmart. I went to Lowe&rsquo;s. I used the gas pumps. I mean I just wasn&rsquo;t careful. God knows where I got it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Um, why was he shopping at all those places to begin with? Also, who goes to the grocery store twice a day <em>ever<\/em>, let alone <em>during a pandemic?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The lawyer added, &ldquo;The bad thing is I might have spread (it) to somebody. I feel bad about that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Wittenbrink is now the second person associated with Life Tabernacle Church to contract COVID-19. Last week, 78-year-old Harold Orillion, a church regular, died of the virus, though Spell insists the coroner&rsquo;s finding is &ldquo;a lie.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But Spell isn&rsquo;t letting any of this stop him from 1. continuing to hold church services, and 2. continuing to try and profit off of the pandemic. Just last week, he put out a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">video<\/a> encouraging people, even those who don&rsquo;t belong to his church, to donate their stimulus checks to him.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Donate your stimulus money,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t have a church, give through my website!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m very proud of Pastor Spell,&rdquo; Wittenbrink said from his hospital bed. &ldquo;I think he&rsquo;s one of the few people who understands we shouldn&rsquo;t just throw away our civil liberties without a fight just because there&rsquo;s some kind of crisis going on.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Wittenbrink took to Facebook to remind everyone to &ldquo;Breath.
