“Did they try to get a permit and were denied for specious reasons?
Are the permits expensive? “
From the posting:
*** A statement from the Pacific Justice Institute, which is defending the couple in a lawsuit against the city, said Chuck Fromm was also told regular gatherings of three or more people require a conditional use permit, which can be costly and difficult to obtain. ***
You seem to be taking the side of: “The rules are the rules”. Sometimes rules are wrong.
I bet if they were having regular sex parties drawing 50 people, the commies would leave them alone.
Sure the rules are sometimes wrong. But there’s no evidence here that these rules are unreasonable. It looks like they didn’t even make a minimal effort to follow them. That sort of self-righteous lawless attitude is contrary to Romans 13.
I attend a first Saturday Rosary meeting in a friend’s house. There are usually about 20 people in attendance. I worry now that there will be a knock on the door one of these times.
