Outside of course.

That way we are in complete compliance.

That's a very good idea. I wonder if we could just HOLD the stick-up bulbs. Or not mount them on walls. Maybe that would make it okay.

That's like holding a serpent in your hand!

Slippery slope!

But how do we know when it's no longer a serpent? When it's only in our buggies? Or only in the barn? Or if we just stick to flashlights? One time, I used the flashlight to go to the outhouse and it fell in. I think it was a sign.

Here's a relevant motto, and I know how you Amish desire cultural relevance.

When you go, just say no!

Oh, thank you Pastor Poster, that was so relevant!!

But, I just had a thought. Do you suppose it is from the pits of hell? If I had put one of those stick-up bulbs on the SIDE of the outhouse, it would not have fallen in! So, maybe stick-up bulbs are holier than flashlights! It would sure be nice if my German Bible said something about lightbulbs and stick-up bulbs, TV's and flashlights! Does your worldly English Bible address these issues like saying it's okay? How do you know it's okay? How do you sleep at night?
