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

Well that is what I had guessed until this article. If he has a 4 acre property as the article says, it sounds less likely to me that it is in a neighborhood.

As for people parking on others land, the police could ticket them or even have them towed.

Still perhaps the man was using his property in such a way as so negatively impact others to the extent the government should circumscribe his liberty. Of course the burden of proof is on the government. A judge or jury has apparently been convinced, though it is not clear why from the article.

“.... It’s not the bible studies getting him in trouble...”

From what I gathered from reading the article, he had 80 people on his 4 acres. However, I get the feeling that the Home Owner’s Association is reacting to the fact that up to 30 of these people served prison time. Me-thinks that some of the neighbors were worried about who was coming into their neighborhood and the traffic/congestion as well. IMHO.

80 people at his home means probably 60 cars. That would sure be a neighborhood nuisance.

He should rent a local hall for the weekly study sessions.

Yes, he was. Like it or not. That is the truth, ...

I am not cursing today. It’s Sunday.
