Quote:Some of those things do not seem to be true. The meetings were described as "weekly", and that the issues started when someone's car got dinged for a couple hundred bucks of damage. It's a good thing it's not relevant to your point. :)
Whether it's in a an area with many houses is tough to say, Bonita seems to be mostly rural, but it's not exactly the middle of nowhere either. Given that someone's car got damaged, though, it seems reasonable to assume that there are at least a few neighbours within striking distance.
This branch of the thread was pertaining to my own experience with house parties. To be clear, I am not a pastor in California. I just don't see how having 15 people over is a big deal or even considered terribly unusual, weekly or otherwise. When I lived on campus, the house parties were more like 150 people, but that's another story altogether...
