If this happened to be Muslims gathering each week in those numbers I think comments here might be different.

I agree with others who say this has gone beyond a simple, small (read that few to say 8-10) people and is nearly a business and should be functioning as such.

Frankly on the scale indicated I wouldn’t care for it either and ESPECIALLY if they just happened to be from the ROP which could very well happen nowadays.

In your mind, what specific number of people does it have to be in order for Government to regulate their “peaceful assembly” and right to exercise free speech?

Please be specific.

Meeting to read the Bible should be viewed as a BUSINESS?!

The statute does not regulate the NUMBER of people assembling.

It regulates WHAT THEY CAN SAY when they are assembled. They cannot DISCUSS the BIBLE without obtaining a permit.

Does that sound like what the founding fathers had in mind to you?
