I wonder how much he collects each week from the hundreds who cycle through. I don't know, but I bet with SIX GIRLS and a WIFE, he doesn't have it very long.

What part of ‘free EXERCISE of religion’ do they not understand?

THAT ain't no 'small building' as I was told about.That is not the 'small building' you were told about. It is his 'house'. I was noting that it already resembled a church.
The small building is a roof supported by some 4x4 columns, with hay bales scattered round. I have seen the picture once, but I am having trouble relocating it.

It wouldnt matter if it was his jurisdiction. The sheriff puts people in the county jail who have been convicted in municipal, county or state courts. Yes, it does matter.
He went to county jail, but that doesn't mean the county sheriff did the prosecuting. It was a city infraction.

What you fail to mention is that the City gave him grief even when he was holding the Bible studies in his home, before the auxiliary building was erected.

I think everyone should take a look at the information at
THIS LINK This looks more like a witch-hunt than anything else.
I can understand that neighbors don't like extra cars around and a shortage of parking, but that isn't the case here. All cars (bible study attendees) are parked on this man's property.

(Tap into America!)
To: Sleeping Freeper
The title was hard to believe, but at the link I saw this :”
The controversy erupted in 2009 when nearly a dozen police officers raided the Salmans home and a 2,000 square foot building in their backyard. The family had moved their Bible study into the building after the group outgrew their living room.”
That article is a bit deceptive “Home-owner jailed..” ?
I also see it doesnt say how many people were in that 2000 sM church he built on his property. 200?? 50? It matters.

Read this article Ron C.. The guy is a total a-hole jerk hiding behind the religion card. On another site, 60+ of his neighbors signed a petition against him and not ONE defended him.

Oh, the private property myth. If you truly think you “own” your property, try not paying taxes on it. The great American Dream should really be called the Great American Property Tax Heist. Thread hop.. it was truly shocking to read the Federal Government owns a third of the land in the US. Who owns the other two thirds?

constitutionally opposed to red necks. that is one red neck church. betcha it brings no littering, no crime, no brawls. but it offends the neighbors sense of propriety so out it’s gotta go.
To: Ron C.
The building in his backyard is 2,000 sq. ft., and is not being used as living quarters. That’s a fairly large area when you just have people standing or sitting in chairs. It’s being used as a church building.
The article says he told the building code authorities he was constructing a game room for his family. If that’s true, then the minister lied.
To: Ron C.
Yeah. Look at those big air conditioners on the roof. He must be hunting some really big “game”.
To: SandyInSeattle
that doesn't mean the county sheriff did the prosecuting. Sheriffs don't prosecute in any jurisdiction, nor do sheriffs make the call if a crime is going to be prosecuted.
