You just have to purchase your Welsh person from a neighboring nation. This also avoids the normal sales tax, so it's a good idea, all around. I'd check eBay. > e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus > 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated > to kill him myself? Yes. The place where most people mess up is in not waiting until after the Sabbath. Monday is soon enough. Definitely before Thursday. > g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have > a defect in my sight.
