Couple Ordered to Stop Holding Bible Study at Home Without Permit
PERSONAL LIBERTIES AT RISK!
According to FoxNews, 'Pastor David Jones and his wife Mary have been told that they cannot invite friends to their San Diego, Calif. home for a Bible study — unless they are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to San Diego County.'
This is a major infringement on personal rights! This should not be allowed to happen at anyones home in this country! Who we talk to and what we talk about on our own property should not be this kind of an issue.
From the San Diego news,
'Broyles said his clients have asked to stay anonymous until they give the county a demand letter that states by enforcing this regulation the county is violating their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion.'
This is not right at all. I seriously doubt it's the parking matter that they say it is. If so, why are they trying to fine them for being a 'religious assembly'? This simply is an attack on faith. They wouldn't be after them if this was a community BBQ, or some other summer party. I hope this pastor and his wife are able to fight this all the way. It's a sad day for freedom when we can't have a few people over to our own property and chat about what we feel is important to ourselves!
