Say it ain't so, San Diego

...Broyles 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, according to Broyles.

Broyles said a few days later the couple received a written warning that listed "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...

Simply.Amazing.

The saving grace (or silver lining, if you prefer) is the attention this blatant attack on the 1st Amendment will draw to our most modern of citizens, in this most free nation on earth.

The Church historically flourishes under persecution; let it be so today.
