A fun Amish fact... like other Mennonites they are pacifists and refuse to fight in wars. This was an issue during WW-II however their "conscientious objection" was accepted and were given work in mental hospitals. They raised quality of care for the mentally ill. This was not totally selfless as schizophrenia is a bit more common in Amish/Mennonite communities.

Yeah sounds like they're very sweet people ;)

The Amish are all over the Midwest. I'm from Chicago, but I lived in a small town in Indiana. The Amish lived everywhere around that town out in the country. I used to hear the clip-clop of their horses on the street going by my bedroom window. They would go to town with their horse and buggies or with bicycles to get supplies. I'd even seen men on bicycles with their rifles and bows and arrows to go hunting, riding down the highway. There are different sects with slightly different beliefs. The Amish around where I lived were allowed to take car rides from non-Amish and use electricity/phones, so long as it wasn't in their own home. They often had their own Amish phone booths out on the middle of some road in the country that they could use to find work, when the farm season was over. They're not anti-technology, but they believe that humans should not be so dependent on technology and creature comforts. They think it leads us to idleness, laziness, and wickedness (which I can agree with to a degree). I even worked with some Amish and Mennonites in a wood workshop and they use electricity and power tools regularly. It was a means to an end for them and when they go home they leave all that behind so they can focus on their family and friends.

There’s a good book called “Better Off,” about a man who took his family and lived with the Amish for a few years. He gets into the pros and cons of their life, and how to try it yourself. Edit: spelling corrected.

I grew up in western Pennsylvania and went to college on the eastern side of the state near Lancaster, so I've been around Amish and Mennonite people a lot. Honestly I see them most often when I'm in Walmart, because they have non-Amish people with vans or cars drive them out when they need to shop haha. Otherwise, I know of at least one local store that has a hitching rail for Amish to tie their horses to while they shop. They're pretty well known for craft and construction, like building furniture, making quilts and household goods, food, etc. My neighbors had the Amish build a barn for them a few years ago. They may not participate in or adhere to a lot of the changes and modernization the US has gone through, but they've still found a way to mesh their lifestyle with the modern communities around them and I think that blending is pretty cool. Edit for an interesting story: Last year there was a non-Amish lady buying a huge amount of fresh cherries from Walmart when they went on sale. I'm talking she took multiple trips in her van loaded full with boxes, several hundred dollars worth, probably close to $1,000 in total. A LOT of cherries. And then she bought and equally wild number of whole fresh pineapples. It was crazy. Turns out she was buying them all for her Amish neighbors so they could can them because the sale price was so good. She also said she basically never had to buy her own produce or eggs because her Amish neighbors gave her a lot of that stuff for helping them out.

Where I live in Southern Idaho we have a large-ish Mennonite community, which are similar to the Amish. Our Mennonites do drive cars, because everything is spaced so far apart here it would take them all day just to get to work by horse. They also use cell phones, but only to talk to each other. They only use technology that helps them get through their day, like tractors and sewing machines, because they grow all their own food and make all their own clothes. But technology for entertainment is not allowed. They don't use instruments in their music (I forgot why this is). One of my Mennonite co-workers explained they sing everything acapella. The men don't stand out in public because their dress code fits in pretty well with the standard button-up shirt and nicely trimmed beard. The women however do stand out because of the little cap they wear on their hair and their old-fashioned dresses. I saw them a lot because I worked at a fabric store and they loved to pick cloth with fun patterns to make their simple dresses out of. The only time I've met an Amish person who was from Pennsylvania was when I was a waitress. The restaurant was by the freeway so we served a lot of out-of-towners. He had the Abe Lincoln beard, the suspenders, the wide-brimmed hat and everything of a stereotypical Amish person. He had a great sense of humor and a fun personality. His wife and kids rushed out so I didn't get to meet them. :( Anyway, then he paid with giant wad of all $2 bills, which are rarely seen in the U.S. anymore. They must be somewhat common in the Amish community, since his wallet was loaded with them! (This event occurred about 15 years ago so I don't know if this is still the case.) That's my only experience with the Amish, but it sure was fun to meet them. And even though he looked stereotypically Amish, his family was traveling across the country in a car. I don't know if he was the driver, and I don't know their story, but it was definitely a contrasting image of old times and modern.

Most Amish people I knew in the states lived in northwest Indiana. Very big Amish community there.

I am a Christian who lives in Michigan, and I have often thought that the lifestyle, not necessarily the theology, of the Amish just really appeals to me. Living in a community, making your own food, knocking on your neighbors door instead of texting--it sounds really appealing. I know we are called to live in the world, not of it, but sometimes I wish I could get away from the pressures of always having my phone on me and being unindicted information and entertainment at our fingertips at all times. I sometimes think I was born in the wrong era...

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, there may be more, but I know they are in scattered communities in the farm belt. They take the train to cross the country, many Amish go to Mexico for medical care. I saw about 30 Amish on the Southwest Chief going from Illinois to California, the Amish were already aboard, they came from Ohio. I had a 20 minute conversation on the train with an Amish man, named Herman. He was a cabinet maker, he borrowed my cell phone to call his son, who was working at a wood working shop. We talked about COVID, about New Mexico, which we were passing through at the time - questions about farming, ranching, the soil, the weather, that kind of thing.

I'm not sure if this has been said but I live right next to Lancaster and live right next to a farmers market in which Amish and Mennonites will set up stands to sell products. I've picked up a couple pieces of information, though they are not allowed by religious reasons to use technology, the law makes them put lights on their buggies when traveling on the road, and much like the video said, the Mennonite are allowed to use certain electronics if it is required, like lawnmowers or sewing machines but they are mostly doing things by hard labor and the earth's resources

It was very interesting to hear your perspective, as a non-Amish American who grew up in a mostly Amish town in Northeast Indiana. The Amish confusingly refer to non-Amish like me as "English", by the way. Yes, Amish communities *do* use cult-like tactics to keep people from leaving, most notably "shunning", but such practices vary greatly among and between affiliations and subgroups. At the same time, many communities like the ones I grew up around have a practice called "Rumspringa"(lit. "runaround time"), a period in one's mid-late teens where you can basically break most of the community's behavioral rules before deciding to either stay and be baptized, or leave to be shunned, even cut off and abandoned to be homeless depending on local practices and individual circumstances.

I live in Michigan and I often go to Amish shops that sell home made pies, cakes, and deli sandwiches. Oh, so good.

Hi, I’ve never been where the Amish live. Yes, they’re Protestant. There used to be a cooking show on Saturday mornings to demonstrate Amish Cooking. I used to get up early and watch it. One day, my sister noticed that the foods were mostly things I don’t eat. I had to explain that I just liked the presenters voice and the stories she told.

Peter Santarello (sp?) Imbeds in different cultures, such as the Amish, and they might help you understand the cultures better.

My brother lives in Tokyo, Japan, has a Japanese wife and son and is a professor of English teaching college level, he loves it over there, may send him this video. I his sister in the united states loves reading the amish stores, my brother and his family are advocate readees too.

As I got older, I realized how lucky I was to be able to visit one of these colonies as a child, it really was like stepping into the past, although the colonies in this video seem to be way more advanced than the one I visited, but this was also over 20 years ago, maybe lanterns aren't a normal light source for them anymore and utilizing motors and electricity is normal now

I feel the need to elaborate on some of the problems with the Amish community since this video was very favorable: 1. The reason so many children stay Amish is that 1. leaving the community means no contact with your family or friends ever and 2. the lack of a higher eduction makes it difficult for many to get jobs in the outside world. The people who do leave the community often need extensive support from others in order to set up a life in the outside world. This includes getting a high school diploma or college degree, help with technology and language, as well as jobs, housing and money. 2. There are also genetic diseases among the Amish that comes from the fact that they are isolationed and a genetically closed community... ie: inbreeding. These genetic diseases are very rare outside the Amish and Mennonite communities. It looks idealic but just like every culture, there are problems with it. I've lived near mennonite and amish communities most of my life...they are very nice people. They aren't all the same, and some communities allow some technology while others allow nothing.

The Amish also have puppy mills. They breed & sell dogs to make money.

Fun fact: the Amish don't vote mostly. They think of voting as something the "English" (their general word for outsiders) do.

Watch the documentary Shunned from 2016 and it will explain better.

Family Guy does a decent job explaining the Amish. Season 10 episode 7

The Amish believes that living plain is the way to heaven

Fun Fact: A Hoe Down was originally by the Amish aka a bunch of teens going to a barn listening to rock and roll, drinking alcohol and having sex with each other, that is an insider exclusive. Amish world is so old school. Yea it is fun to see, but not fun to live. I know many Amish people that will never go back. For religious reasons mainly. As they are a Christian group but yet not allowed to talk about Jesus or even be able to read the bible. They can not read it because it is in German and only the Elders are allowed to know the teachings and have interrupted it wrong many times. There are many different groups of Amish as well. Some have no electricity in their homes as others do. Some are not allowed any device in their homes or businesses, but have a community phone for all to use like a pay phone. The girls are only required to go to 6 or 8th grade. Most are made to stop schooling and learn to be a home maker. The girls don't have a choice in what they do or become until they are married and their husbands ok it. There are videos on here showing how one family was kick out of their community because they question their Elders and what the bible really says. That family found out much of what the Elders said was not all truth. Everyone can think their great on the outside but once they walk in their shoes and see how bad it can be. They would chance their minds. Women have no rights. Men rule it all. Husband has every right to make their wives submit to them. She can not question him at all. She takes care of the animals, garden, all food sources, all clothes, etc. 18 the kids do get to go out in the real world for a year. As their parents arrange a place they can stay for that time. Most of the kids just party for a year then go back. Others find a job or go to college and never go back. Watch the Amish videos on here. Some groups are only allowed to wear blacks and grays. In other more open groups they wear bright colored clothes. It is good to know the different.

To the public, yes. To one another, not so much. The level of private abuses that happen in their communities rarely get light shed on them.

As a Christian, don't consider every group that broke off from a Christian group and calls themselves Christian to actually be Christian. I don't know enough about the Amish to decide if they are or are not, but they certainly have some issues with a religious spirit.

reacts to the RAP DOS HOKAGES of channel 7MINUTOZ

I would watch Peter Santnellos series on the Amish. He was able to actually talk with people. kzread.info He's really good at getting good information from the source.

That video was very misleading and very very very incomplete. Please check out Peter Santenello's channel. Better yet Amish America channel. Both will give you an idea of the many sects of Amish and their degrees of accepted technology. Each community has it's own rules. In a nutshell their driving force is living a simple life focused on God, avoiding pridefulness and a focus on material things. In general Amish are very open and kind to non Amish, part of what drives them into trades is having so many children and so little open land around them, the farm of the parents can only be taken over by one child's family when they get married. They call all non Amish in the USA English. In their teenage years they must decide to "join the church" or not. Those that choose not to join are often shunned (because of their upbringing they should have a more informed choice than the English) in some sects, not all, and no longer have any contact with family in the community or anyone in the community. Look at those channels. One thing people often don't focus on is it is a life of choice so it is no way a cult. They do not go out and recruit new Amish. They have migrated and set up communities in most states. They are conscientious objectors to ever taking a human life but will serve in the military in non combat roles if never required to use a weapon. Those channels I mentioned have much more, and reliable information.

Thank you very much i will check them out !

Idk if anyone mentioned it but since Switzerland is on the boarder between France and Germany it has french and German speaking parts. Their version of both languages are different from the other countries versions as well. So you end up with I guess what you would call either a sub language or creole of the parent languages. And Pennsylvania dutch is another subset of that.

Hey I wish I could send you an e-book but no way I could. I'd suggest you listen to Joel Osteen videos, very enlightening.

@@Choppylovechoppy Hey!! Have you check out the videos? Do you like them?

No it’s not the south that’s full of amish but my state Pennsylvania and our neighbors with a bad college football team Ohio! Northeast. You guessed right that they keep people in with very cult-like ways, such as the shunning he mentioned which means your whole family treats you as dead. But they are very nice to outsiders, like JWs.

@@Choppylovechoppy I mean both Amish people and Jehovahs Witnesses are nice to people outside their sects. They don't agree much with each other much about theology.

Best to meet Amish. Think this person you may be the most unusual life friend you can meet. Then again you could be hearing your Grumpy Granpa. People are people the world over. Meh... Could do 10,000 words on this. No written words can describe the dichotomy

A-mish is correct. Ah-mish is not. Although most people say Ahmish. That is because of Christians saying Ah-men. And not A-men. In prayer. So your annunciation is correct. Both ways will pass.

I got to know some Mennonites (similar to Amish) in my community and I learned that they go abroad to serve religious/service missions. Plus they're involved in the community, whether working or shopping, and they've always been happy to answer my questions about their lifestyle and religion. They just choose to live the other aspects of their lives separate from ours. The world is so busy that living a quieter life helps them avoid distractions that might make them lose focus of their religious purpose. I also think the way they stand out in public draws people to them to ask questions, which leads to them sharing the good word. It worked on me! While I didn't agree with their take on certain doctrinal aspects, I could also appreciate and learn from some of their forms of worship--the importance of simplicity being their most shining example, in my opinion.

so Amish have different subgroups that have more and less restrictions on the tech this is a chart ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subgroups_of_Amish
