County Trying To Stop Home Bible Studies
A local pastor and his wife claim they were interrogated by a San Diego County official, who then threatened them with escalating fines if they continued to hold Bible studies in their home. Their attorney said, "The county asked, 'Do you have a regular meeting in your home?' She said, 'Yes.' 'Do you say amen?' 'Yes.' 'Do you pray?' 'Yes.' 'Do you say praise the Lord?' 'Yes.'" The county employee notified the couple that the small Bible study, with an average of 15 people attending, was in violation of County regulations, warning that this was an "unlawful use of land," and told them to "stop religious assembly or apply for a major use permit" -- a process that could cost tens of thousands of dollars. 10News, Fox News
