  In reply to Too_Far_Gone.

  We, the people, have created this problem with building laws, and rules and requirements. We have asked that buildings be safe, that homeowners/business owners be responsible for those who enter their home. We have asked that our neighbors be held accountable for things they do that disturb us. That is what is happening here. It has NOTHING to do with hindering this mans religion. His neighbors have reported him for noise on many occasions. The parking on his street is not adequate to hold the number of people he invites into his home. This overflows into his neighbors and makes it unpleasant for them. They have just as much right to a peaceful home as he does to practice his religion. If he wishes to keep his bible study groups to 4-6 cars worth of people and keep the noise down I am sure the city would not care. However this man refuses to do this. The building he put up, while he got a permit does not meet the building code requirements for what he is using it for. As an example you can’t use a shed as a home, especially in AZ without proper air conditioning you could kill people. (I don’t know if that is his violation I am only giving an example) We are only given HIS version of the story and only the parts he wants to share. So before everyone jumps on the religion is being crushed band wagon, why not wait to see what he is truly being accused of doing. Other stories in AZ have made it clear his meetings are far from quiet gatherings.
