Which Episode was this? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I recall an episode where Wojo was interviewing a Hutterite or some such sect member and was awed that his community did not do a thing unless it was found in the bible. The dialogue as I recall went something like this...

WOJO: You mean, you don't read the newspaper?
HUTTERITE MAN: It ain't in the bible.
WOJO: No radio... TV?
HUTTERITE MAN: Isn't in the bible!
WOJO: Well... what do you do for entertainment?
HUTTERITE MAN: Got 14 kids!
WOJO: - Mouth agape - silent...
HUTTERITE MAN: It's in the bible!

I'd love to locate the exact quote for this to use as a comical illustration! Can anyone help me out?
TKS.

I think that was "The Desk," from season 6.

Here is the TV Tome description:

A former master criminal becomes a walking zombie following his lobotomy; a man is unable to use the telephone after being mugged because he's Amish. Jeff Corey, who appeared previously as "The Prisoner," was a renowned acting teacher.

I just watched that episode on tape like three hours ago! It's not Wojo, it's Harris. Here's how it goes:

Harris: You can't drive a car?
Amish fellow: No automobiles in the Bible, sir.
Harris: Or go on an airplane?
Amish fellow: Not in the Bible.
Harris: No movies? No television? No discos? What can you people do?
Amish fellow: Got 14 kids. That's in the Bible.
