Surprised to see what looks very much like OSB lining the Amish house
on the program on BBC2 right now.

Always get the impression that anything less than two centuries old
(in technology terms) is too modern. But that is very likely based on
much ignorance.


Not to mention the Fridge, the 'phone (in an outhouse!) and the solar
panels.

I wasn't really watching - but I did later notice several things like
that. I can't get my head round why walking to a phone makes it OK...

It makes as much sense as all the other "get arounds" that exist in most
religions

The one I like is the eruv.

I once heard of an eruv where the wired off area was very small....but
that was considered the 'outside'....
