But Swingers Clubs Are Okay

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.

A pastor and his wife hold Bible study in their homes - and are charged with a land use violation. I could understand if there had a large group meeting regularly and holding outdoor services with amplifiers, but a Bible study? My mail carrier meets on First Fridays at a local home nearby with about a dozen other people for praying the Rosary - so is Santa Ana going to get involved?

I am curious to know - how did the county find out about this? Nosy neighbor who didn't like Christians parking their car on the street?
