The blanket of religion does not free JSM or any other group from
responsible behavior. They have the responsibility to ensure that the
people they are attracting and/or sheltering are not harmful to the
community they are located in. You suggest they have adequate funds.
Then why are they not using some of those funds to PAY for criminal
checks and screening by a reputable security company? There are
plenty that will do it for a fee. In that manner then, the NJSP will
not run afoul any laws.

Is that last statement correct? Or did the judge rule that the zoning
board did not consider initially consider any inherently beneficial
use?

Perhaps you should google Nunn and Lakewood.

That is what really divides our community.
In all due respect, it is you who is injecting "race" into the issue.
