I have written about this place before. The Cherry Pit advertises and takes money they are not a social club. They are a BLEEP house.

I had never heard of this dump until the bust.

Wow, that was straight up arrogance on their part, huh?

I freaked out on all those beds hooked together.

Heads will roll eventually.

OOOOOPS I got bleeped.Perhaps I should have said brothel, bawdy house,sporting house, cat house or hot sheet joint.
]Their members swears it is a family environment, that they are all just very, very good friends.

Reports indicate that the people who attend bring their own booze, like a BYOB event. Thus, they would not be needing a liquor license and further reports indicate they do not sell alcohol. As to why TABC took the alcohol, should be an interesting and learning event to read.

As for the donations that are accepted, yes that could be questionable in the eyes of the IRS. Could it be said that this is nothing different than having a block party and those who do not bring potluck food items to donate money instead? Don't know, but that definitely is an interesting IRS situation.

I tell you what that is a lot of partys that place has. The neighbors have a right to complaint to the law and have that place shut down. Alcohol may not be the only thing that they serve there. There are restrictions of serving drinks in a residential area. This not a place that has parties everynight there. There are laws that do apply they are subject to them like any other business practise that being conduct. As the IRS sees it any donations that excepted there is earned income and is subject to the tax laws.

This all started when the neighbors complained about the noise and parking problems that this place caused. Evidently some of these "good fiends" were also taking their show outside. I wouldn't want them in my neighborhood .I feel that if they advertise and charge admission they are a commercial enterprise and they do not belong in a family neighborhood.

The Cherry Pit simply needed to list themselves as a church and they never would have been raided. They could have said they were simply practicing their religion by loving one another. LOL

The news media reported that there was new charges that go from number city ordinances, including operating a sexually-oriented business without a license.

Here are some sites that you can goto if you wish read about this topic.

scottythecomic I have always come to know that there was all these zoning laws. I believe that they open this type of business without the city of Duncanville's approval. They simple went behind the citys back though that they could get away with it until when there were complaints made and the news media televised about these peoploe the first time that they were reported

I just hope that the city of Duncanville will bring this much further and charge the owners instead of a slap on the wrist. So others out there that believe in this type behavior will know what is in store for them if they should want to take the city of Duncanville on.
