I am not much on the church but this kind of stuff really upsets me

Church Fights Back After Arizona Town Bans Home Bible Study

Monday , March 15, 2010

GILBERT, Ariz. —
The national Alliance Defense Fund says a town code that bars religious assemblies in private homes in the Arizona community of Gilbert is unconstitutional.

The Oasis of Truth church began meeting at Pastor Joe Sutherland's house in November and rotated homes several times a week for Bible study and fellowship.

A Gilbert code compliance officer hit the church with a violation notice after seeing a sign near a road advertising a Sunday service.

A zoning administrator told the church that Bible studies, church leadership meetings and fellowship activities are not permitted in private homes.

The Alliance Defense Fund's Doug Napier says no neighbors complained.

The Scottsdale-based group has filed an appeal with the town of Gilbert, contending its code violates the U.S. Constitution.

LOL -- this is so ludicrous it's funny.

Not you posting it cowboy, just the facts.

If y'all had ever been to Gilbert, AZ, other than a nice quiet little neighborhood, the cattle in the feed lots outnumber the folks by probably 3000/1, in favor of the steers!

They gonna fall back on some dumb 'too many cars parked in one locale' BS;  Or a zoning law.  Like they need to discourage people in ANY WAY there.

Ain't got nothin to do with the church or religion at all, I'll bet.  More like some revenue gathering thing!!

LOL -- Gilbert, AZ -- doing this.  What a joke, 'Ordinance and Civic minded 'Compliance Officer'.

His tribe will probably punish him for this!!

Probably so Bro.

But remember:

Some of them feedlot owners, i.e., longtime cattlemen, hear bout this and they will take care of it themselves!!

Y'all:  the Law of the Range ain't been left in the dust.  They brought it to town with them!!
