Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The doctrine also states that newborns cannot be poked or prodded for medical tests for a week
Oh, that's frelling brilliant. If your kid happens to have one of the rare metabolic disorders (like PKU), the child can be seriously damaged by a week of normal feeding.
I just don't understand how this country's government (well, previous administrations of same that actually had some concern for people's wellbeing) hasn't reacted to the church's practices the same way the German one has.
Germany doesn't quite have the same protection for expression that we do.
There is some question about "what did the 'church' have on the IRS Commissioner when he reinstated their tax-exempt status", IIRC.

I was a dedicated browncoat. When folks talked about how crazy browncoats were, I always said that we weren't all that bad. I'm still a fan of Firefly and Serenity, and actually have a coat of a brownish color, but I think I just became not self-identified as a browncoat. I've seen quite a few over-the-top things this week, but this may take the cake.
The sad thing is that I would even pay for pay-per-view, but this is just craxy!
