Your House Is Not Your Own...

I preface this by saying that I have not been able to find any mention of this outside of WND and whole bunch of blogs, but if there is any modicum of truth to this story anyone who holds regular meetings in their homes (be it 4H, the Sierra Club or a church) should be concerned.

A San Diego pastor and his wife claim they were interrogated by a county official and warned they will face escalating fines if they continue to hold Bible studies in their home.

The couple, whose names are being withheld until a demand letter can be filed on their behalf, told their attorney a county government employee knocked on their door on Good Friday, asking a litany of questions about their Tuesday night Bible studies, which are attended by approximately 15 people.

As I was working on this, I got another email on this story. Fox News reported on the story as well so it has been confirmed. According to the interview, the Pastor and his wife, who have weekly Bible studies with friends, were told by a county employee that it was a "zoning" violation to have more than 10-15 people in your house at one time!

Again, this should trouble anyone who has every had a Tupperware party or a Mary Kay Party of a weekly book club meeting in their home. Big government can dictate to you how many people you can have come visit you in your home!

Well isn't that special.....
