Is this about the PP? ?!

I have no idea what their real names are, but I immediately read this as the PP, especially with a wife named Suzanne! We know local law enforcement aren't big fans....

The PP's name is Steven Anderson. A guy I know who works for Border Control considers the PP a douche nozzle.

This is so ridiculous. This didn't happen because you can't have a Bible Study at your house. This guy was obviously drawing a large enough crowd that the neighbors complained. And the guy probably said screw you, I'll do what I want. So, in order for the city to be able to do anything, they had to charge him with running a church in a residential zone (which is essentially what he was doing).

Nah, this guy is another preacher. He believes he's being persecuted because he's been holding"bible studies" of up to 80 people at a private residence without a gathering permit.

HuffPo has a more nuanced story- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/1 ... 77943.html (not broken, because HuffPo)

We've had two cases like that near us. It was true there also the neighbors complained. When any group meets at the same house on the same day and at the same time week after week and clog up the neighborhood, it's very easy to get an inspector to come out and see the mess.

here is a more detailed article about this guy. He has been in trouble with the law before.

It's probably wrong, but I find it hilarious that his wife asks if it's any different than a regularly meeting Tupperware party. Is there such a thing as a regularly scheduled Tupperware party? I have friends who sell Mary Kay, and whie they're all the time encouraging people to host a party, they're at different places and times.

He stole from AHCCCS? Ass.

Sorry for the false alarm, all. I guess the thought of the PP in jail was too good to resist! :) Thanks for the link to the HuffPo article - I used it on my friend's Facebook status, which had quickly and predictably descended into "Christians are SO PERSECUTED, wahhhhhhh!" madness.

Are you in the San Diego area? I remember a case in San Diego where a couple was holding a Bible study in their home and they had issues with neighbors and the city.

Yes, San Diego county. There was one that received national attention and one that seemed more local news.
