I'd donate to them to buy some huge church bells to ring out Sunday mornings and evenings call to worship .. Some that can be heard for 2/3 miles and I'd open the church windows during choir and singing worship ..
They would perhaps get slapped with a disturbing the peace injunction. It has happened :censored:

Looks like it's already happened , so to speak .. Like roosters crowing in the morning, they can wake you up if you need to get up and if you don't you can get up , go pee and go right back to bed, fluff your pillow and right back to sleep as the crows become soothing and pleasant ..

Yes, it has, and it continues to happen.

Try stopping the Muslim call to prayer in your neighborhood — any opposition to that nails-on-chalkboard incessant wail at 5 am is met with accusations of racism (Islam is not a race) and “Islamophobia” (a euphemism for sharia enforcement).

In Europe, muezzins are replacing church bells. That’s reality. source

Stockholm, Sweden, May 17, 2018 / 04:54 pm MT A town in southern Sweden granted permission this week to allow Islamic calls to prayer for the local mosque – a move some are calling controversial in light of the town’s previous denial of the use of bells by the Catholic parish. source

There is no doubt there is ALOT going on Covid-19, BLM movement etc.etc.etc. I read this today and felt strongly to share: "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths" (Prov. 3: 5-6 God has shown us the path to everlasting life, and in His mercy He trusts us to follow it.

We are blessed to have a divine friend in heaven that loves us and created both heaven and earth. If the path is not clear or we are not strong enough to walk in it, be assured God will carry us. It will be His footsteps that we see, and the path to light will be clearer with time.

With all that is going on I tend to take my eyes off Jesus at times.

But I m reminded of His wonderful promises such as "I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope" (Jer. 29:11)

Again with all that's going on it's sometime difficult to believe this but God said it and He cannot lie. ALSO - Satan may have won battles BUT JESUS HAS WON THE WAR. I didn't mean to get carried away this was just on my heart. We cannot loose hope.

can just use cellphones...put out a collective txt message 'call for worship' and there you go.
most people in california have mobilephones now right?

you dont need an actual BELL. In the middle ages they had them because they had no phones back then, and later they had huge clocktowers cos not everybody had a wrist watch.

Aside from being unconstitutional, well, it IS California.

Anyone surprised?

Scriptures being fulfilled every day

Years ago.....goodness, don't even remember.......maybe in the late 90's, Huntsville, Alabama banned a church from singing and playing their music on Sunday mornings because it could be heard from the street.

Now, one has to understand that this Church was located on 231 South........south of Huntsville City by some 4 miles and the ONLY THINGS around it were 2 Strip Clubs, a State Liquor Store and a Gas Station..............

the Strip Club Owners of Double D's and Fantasia complained.............. this is a TRUE story, I will never forget it because they appealed, and lost on their appeal at the State level......

So much for separation of Church and State, and that pesky old 1st Amendment thing. It was the first sure fire proof that Governments at all levels will side with those that generate tax dollars far quicker than those that do not................
