Usually, you receive early warning that defecation is imminent from a build up of intestinal pressures, ie, gas. Even if you courteously choose to flex your sphincter muscles to choke this back, there are still internal noises that are both audible and embarrassing. Quite honestly, these could be more distracting to those around you than it would be for you to get up and visit the restroom. It is also a cinch that if you are utilizing all of your will power to avoid an accident, you really are not absorbing what the speaker is saying, anyway. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it, Norbee-poo! Your people are not allowed freedom of dissent, so looks like it's up to me to expose you to the truth.<br /><br />Having said all of that, at least loud singing provides a time of good cover for relaxing, and simply allowing the gas to escape. You may cause your neighbors to gag, but odor is far more difficult to trace than noise. I mean, even the guilty party could twitch his nose, raise his eyebrows, and look around, thus skillfully deflecting suspicion.<br /><br />Seriously, folks, this is another example as to how legalism is just plain stupid. This stuff doesn't enhance people's worship, it just makes them paranoid of God, while in some cases causing permanent damage to the intestines. Find a church that's more intestine and bladder friendly!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
