Things would have turned out a lot different if that pastor would have opened a mosque.

No, he wasn’t jailed for having bible studies in his home.
False alert.
IIRC this is the guy who has tons of cars parking, traffic, and it’s often in a neighborhood for homes. It’s not the bible studies getting him in trouble, it’s the traffic and noise in a neighborhood.
I’m not reading the article though - maybe it’s a different guy. lol
This is not as it appears. 60+ of his neighbors signed a petition to have him stop holding the studies due to traffic concerns etc.
I would not want a neighbor setting up a church or a mosque next door, no matter how well-intentioned.
Unconscious nuts also come in religious garb.
It looks like everyone here has gotten the true story.
He was just being a very bad, troublesome, neighbor and the rest finally had had enough.
There are many house churches springing up throughout the nation. Are these gatherings any different than people hosting large parties in their homes (some like to party every week), a tupperware-type party, an organizational meeting, or a reception for a political candidate?
No,not for Bible Study.....but for trying to claim it as exempt status as a church....
It's got to be very easy to host 80 friends and family members on four (4 !) acres without bothering neighbors, even with their cars.
I own 0.5 acre in a small town and have had forty people at a time with very few cars on the street.
Something is very wrong here, either in the reporting or in the attitude of the city.
What part of EIGHTY PEOPLE don’t you understand?
All zoning and building codes that restrict “the free exercise thereof” are obviously unconstitutional.
>> “The case is about the building that is used for regular assembly does not meet construction and fire code requirements for assembly” <<

Vomit!
