Pastor David Jones and his wife Mary have been hosting a Bible Study fellowship at their home every Tuesday for the past five years. The meeting, averaging 15 people each week, is usually comprised of dinner, fellowship and Bible study.
The meetings have gone without government interference until recently. Jones told KGTV, an ABC News affiliate in San Diego, that the visitor to a neighbor’s house alerted the County after a Bible study member hit the visitor’s car while leaving.”
I don’t think I need to say much about that one… but I will. You would think that the citation would be about the visitor’s car, but the group itself is under attack. Strange… Be careful brothers, Big Brother is watching you… now more than ever. And if you’re reading this and you don’t really give a squat about the Jones’s Bible Study, then watch out because your book club is next… or your knitting circle… or your regular Sunday Sports gathering or even next year’s Super Bowl Party. And if you say that obtaining a permit is no big deal, then you must not be a part of a group that invisible hands have been trying to control for the last couple of decades.
I’ve heard of another country that does this… It’s one that is known for overt violations of human rights. Its a country where you can’t gather privately without attracting suspicion and where you can only believe what the state wants you to believe. It’s a place where you can only attend “state-sanctioned” churches (or might I say state-sanctioned Bible Study groups?) that don’t threaten this oppressive state’s agenda by truly empowering people with a message and turning their loyalty to someone/something higher than the state. If you don’t know, I’m talking about the Communist Republic of China… and everybody knows how much Americans hate Communists. How about comparing some recent U.S. policies to theirs. Maybe you should check to see if your congressmen has “red” hands.
If you have ever read the U.S. Constitution (even if you got bored and stopped after the first page), you would know that there is something very wrong about this law and this citation. Something strange is going on and it has been coming on for a long time… yet this is only the beginning. Listen closely… and let your voice be heard.
We are living in the end times, so this is to be expected. It’s not about “what we do at home” so much, it’s the fact that you are holding Biblical Studies.
Many of us will be attacked in the coming days.
