Title: Orthodox Jews Counter-Suit in Dallas
Topic: Religious Freedom
Discussed by Justin Butterfield
with Liberty Institute www.LibertyInstitute.org
It’s okay to have a
Super Bowl Party at your house and invite your Sunday School Class.
It’s okay to have a bunch of friends over to watch the Big Fight on HBO. It’s
okay to have a birthday for your kid in your backyard. Cars litter the street.
It’s loud and crazy. The BBQ pit hot and ready for burgers and hot dogs. Kids
are everywhere. Cars going back and forth.
But heaven forbid you hold a Bible Study or small group in your house! Justin
Butterfield, with the Liberty Institute, is back to give an update on
the lawsuit against a small Orthodox Jewish community. There are no cars for
these 15-20 people because they aren’t allowed to drive on the Sabbath. So,
that’s not the issue. They are praying and worshipping privately inside the
home, not gathering outside blaring music, playing loud instruments, or singing.
So, that’s not the issue. So…what’s the beef?
The neighbor who complained became HOA President, sued the Orthodox Jewish
church (against the vote of the homeowners in the subdivision), and LOST.
Now the City of Dallas is involved and suing the church! The demands they are
placing on the less than two dozen people are OUTRAGEOUS!
Listen in as Justin explains what is happening and why it puts ALL
religions in danger.

Title: Jews being Sued by the City of Dallas
Topic: Religious Freedom
Discussed by Justin Butterfield
with Liberty Institute www.LibertyInstitute.org
The last time Justin
Butterfield was with us, he discussed how an individual (acting without the
approval of his Homeowners Association) sued his neighbor, an Orthodox Jew, who
was holding religious meetings in his private home. To hear that
interview, click [here].
Since this neighbor was unsuccessful in his endeavor, the City of Dallas has
chimed in with their own lawsuit. What makes the matter even worse, Dallas filed
the lawsuit on the eve of Netanyahu’s speech before Congress on Tuesday, March
3, 2015.
Justin Butterfield, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, says, “The
list of demands the City is making is just ridiculous.” One demand is
thirteen extra parking spaces around the home. These are Jews – meeting together
on the Sabbath. They aren’t allowed to drive! Why do they need parking spaces?
Just ludicrous.
Listen in as Justin explains more details in the suit by the City of Dallas
against this small Orthodox Jewish congregation. If you think this doesn’t apply
to you because you are Baptist or Catholic or Methodist or whatever – think
again! They can come after anyone!

Title: Right to Worship in Your Own Home
Topic: Freedom of Religion Defended
Discussed by Justin Butterfield
with Liberty Institute www.LibertyInstitute.org
Sometimes Home Owners Associations think they can rule the roost and
intimidate homeowners into doing what “they” want. This has happened time and
time again. The Texas Legislature has tried to put the reins on HOA’s, with
little to no luck in the past. Not this time!
Justin Butterfield, with the Liberty Institute, is an attorney who specializes
in religious liberty laws. A small group of orthodox Jews decided to meet
privately in a home and had been for several years. The location had changed
several times over the years to accommodate their religious belief of not riding
in a car on the Sabbath. Listen in as Justin explains the rest of the story….
Some of the people who joined the lawsuit against this tiny congregation were
just outrageous in their claims! Needing to stop for a blind person. Waiting for
a woman with a baby stroller to cross the street. Really?
A State District Judge made the ruling that…..Listen in to hear who won! The
story is quite fascinating!
What about city, county, or even state ordinances? Do they have the right to
stop someone from holding religious meetings in their home? For more on this and
other issues regarding religious liberty, click [here].

Title: The Defenders of the Alamo Are Turning Over In Their Graves
Topic: No River Walk For Christians
Discussed by Justin Butterfield
with Liberty Institute www.LibertyInstitute.org
Boycotts work. Christians are not welcome in San Antonio.
The Gay Mayor and his friends on city council want to ban anyone that has ever opposed homosexuality, by word or deed, from being involved in city government and/or performing a city contract/subcontract. What about visiting the Alamo City?
I support traditional marriage and I oppose teaching homosexual acts to children in public school. I do not believe that the homosexual lifestyle should be the ‘preferred’ lifestyle. Because of this personal belief, I am not welcome. Therefore I will boycott San Antonio and will ask the Republican Party NOT to hold meetings or State Conventions in San Antonio until the Mayor and his kissing buddies apologize for this most aggressive abuse of power. Listen in.
