In Reply to: County trying to STOP home Bible study in - couples' home.........yes, this is political!

A person is being told to get a permit to have a gathering of people in his own home. How many of us have barbecues, parties during the holidays, etc.? Do we have to have permits for that? Of course not. What other freedoms will be stripped away from us. If they stop a Bible study from taking place, what group will they go after next? This is truly sad. Our freedom is slowly slipping away.
