So from time to time, I write explaining that we are losing freedom in this country. Constantly. Steadily. I got another one.
A pastor was holding a small group Bible study in his home. No biggy. This happens everyday. In fact, I coordinate these meetings for my own church, and host one at my apartment.
However, this particular Bible Study took a twist, when more than a DOZEN police officers came and arrested the man for having a Bible Study in his home.
Where did this take place? China? Nope. Pakistan? Nah. Iran? Keep guessing.
Phoenix, Arizona.
This man was arrested for having a Bible Study right here in the USA.
Whatever happened to freedom of religion? Freedom of speech? Right to assembly? They're dead, that's what happened.
The local government claims it's a zoning violation, because he had friends over, which might have been too many in case of a fire. Really? Did they arrest everyone who had a Fourth of July barbecue too? Nope.
And another thing, is a Bible study so big an offense to take more than a dozen officers to arrest ONE MAN? One man whose leader was arrested similarly, and like the pastor, offered no resistance? Why did it take more than a dozen officers for a zoning violation?
This man received two months in jail for having friends over to talk about the Bible. This is INSANE. If you can be arrested for holding a small Bible Study in your own home, and get arrested? He was sentenced to 60 days in jail, 3 years probation, and more than $12,000 in fines.
Your freedoms are going bye-bye.
And just to show that I'm not making this up, you can read the article for yourself.

Now you have the choice. Shake your head, or do something about it.
