"My wife and I have had worship with family and friends at our home since 2005. We live on 4.6 acres of land and have never open our home to the public, parked in street, violated any traffic or noise ordinances. The City of Phoenix violated me in 2009 because they said that we were not allowed to have such gatherings on our property even though they are private. According to the City only "Churches" that have commercial and public use codes are allowed to have religious gatherings. Since our property does not meet commercial guidelines we can not have religious gatherings at our home. We argue that this type of enforcement is discriminatory and unconstitutional, they pretty much said, Oh well and sentenced me to 60 days in Jail to report on July 9th. Please Call and Sign our Petition. We not only fight for us but for all those who gather under their rights. http://www.change.org/petitions/free-michael-salman Thank you all for your prayers and support."
Wow that's horrible! I saw a similar incident on the news a few weeks ago where a lady was worshiping loudly in her front yard and people were complaining! lol. But this story that you posted was just unfair. It's also unfair how people use the whole "freedom of speech" to express the fact that they don't believe in God and think that the Bible is "bull" but if we even take out our Bible in a general public place, we face the possibility of getting in trouble because it may offend someone. What is this world coming to :O
