Well, this is a trick question. If I answered you, it would indicate that I, myself, were actually in a strip club parking lot to witness such an event......and being that I've not been in a strip club parking lot, I cannot answer the question from first hand knowledge.

However, knowing that an Amish buggy has wheels, and can travel on the same roads as an automobile, I can definitively say without equivocation that an Amish buggy COULD travel to a strip club.

Of course it COULD, but it is very unlikely and you know it. Hence, buggies are more holy than cars.

Emphatic NO. People gossip around coffee tables. Not all Amish preach against coffee tables but some of them also practice bundling. Not all Amish are in the true church.

Unlikely or impossible? Because, as long as the possibility exists, the risk is very real.......

Re: Signs of a Controlling Church<<<

(In Jeff Foxworthy's voice) If your pastor makes unannounced visits to your home and checks all your clothes to see if it meets his standards..... you might be going to a controlling church.
