I AM So COnfused!!

Please help me, friends!! I have been laying awake nights. I have been having terrorizing night sweats. (That might be menopause but still!!)

Here is the issue; I have recently been told about something called a "Stickup bulb"!!! I am so concerned!! How will we know where to draw the line??

Here is a website about the bulb: http://www.stickupbulb.com/

Here is the issue. We allow flashlights but NOT electricity hooked up to the house. I am afraid that now people will have light bulbs in their houses!! You might say "Who cares? It is just a bulb." But then, how will we know who is using electricity? How will we know if we are still Amish? I am afraid compromise is at the door, friends.

Please don't laugh. It is no different than your TV issue. First advertising, next thing you know, you will be watching naked people on TV and think NOTHING OF IT!!

First the stick-up bulb, next thing, the red light district.

What shall I do???

Here's what you do.

Treat it the same way you do automobiles. You ride in them but don't own them, right?

Have your neighbor hook huge floodlights to his/her home that point into each room of your house.

This will solve everything and you will be in complete compliance with the Ordnung!

No, not through the windows. We mount them ON the windows of our home.

Outside of course.

That way we are in complete compliance.

Yes, but what will you do now that global warming has taken away the cold winters?

True, true. I may suggest this to the Bishop.

I wonder if I can have a TV like this too?

We don't believe in global warming. It still gets cold at our house.
