    50 people attending? Are they SURE all they're doing is Bible study? Our neighbors do that but I think they only get like 10 people if that many.

    They were probably cited for not having a Home Occupation Permit by their city, and such ordinances can be very anal, and "parking" is one of the largest concerns. Chances are that classes for such a large amount would never be permitted, and someone in the neighborhood likely called the city to complain about the parking issue.

    Leave it to FOX to turn it into something it's not ROFLMAO!
    They violated a city ordinance. Period.

    Let them take it to the SCOTUS. They're gonna tell them to pay for the damn permit too.

    I agree with CeCe. Someone most likely complained and the powers that be had to act on it. They should have just gotten a license in the first place.

    Instead, she said the city fined the Fromms for transforming a residential area into a place where people regularly assemble.

    As long as the city would have done the same to someone regularly holding bingo games, Tupperware parties, etc., I don't see the problem.
