[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that I like this thread and I am learning a lot. The stuff on timers or hiring someone as a workaround reminds me of the amish- sure they are off the grid, but then they get their propane in so that in can power their washing machines, etc. Is there a lot of other examples "technicality" versus the "spirit of the religion" that go on?[/quote] But the "spirit of the religion" is the technicalities. We're a religion of endless debates over technical details. We aren't allowed to have chametz on Passover so we sell it. We just lock it up in a closet for the duration of Passover. And then buy it back as soon as Passover is over! Done![/quote] Interesting! At least there are lots of debates, right? That makes it a little more progressive? So do you "have" chametz and lock it away or does it have to leave the house entirely and be sold/bought back? Not understanding that part. [/quote]
