Running Water? Lighting? TV? Washing Laundry? Refrigerator?
In the Old Order Amish, instead of electricity off the grid, we had propane, natural gas, gas or kerosene, oil & air, and battery appliances. The reason for this is because using electricity off the grid is against their Ordnung. We were allowed to have some electronics but no TV. We had running water and showers. We heated our house with a coal or wood stove. We had propane, natural gas, oil, or wood-fired hot water heaters. We used generators for lots of things, including charging our batteries. We used battery lights in the house and in our buggies. In this generation in the Amish community that I grew up in most use batteries for tons of things. Some use solar panels as well. There's ...

Amish Education is Another Form of Control
Просмотров 8 тыс.21 день назад
Amish school only goes to 8th grade. My brothers and I had to walk to school. In one room, there were 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. In the other room, there were 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Then we had a small class downstairs that was called special ed for children who couldn't do the regular Amish education. Amish education is not recognized by the government. It is very different from ...
Amish Care Deeply About Church Attendance!
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.28 дней назад
The Amish are super religious. They have to follow the church Ordnung, or they can get shunned. They believe it's necessary for salvation. They care deeply about church attendance, but it doesn't matter if they don't learn anything at church! They don't preach the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus. I was told in school that if anyone asks what religion the Amish are, we ha...
The Fear of Leaving the Amish!

I remember when I was growing up in the Amish, and we went to church, which was every two weeks, the Amish preachers preached about the rules, and how sad it is when someone didn't obey the rules, or if someone left the Amish, or how sad it is if someone named their child a name that was fancy (not Amish)...ect. I remember how they preached about how evil it was to leave the Amish. They put fea...
I Was Told I Can't Look Pretty!
Просмотров 6 тыс.Месяц назад
Growing up in the Amish, I was told that I had to wear my Amish attire all the time. It was a huge deal in my family not to wear anything else. Sometimes, when I wanted to choose a new fabric for a dress, I was told it was too fancy, and eventually, it really aggravated me because it seemed like all the dresses I wanted I wasn't allowed to have. I was told that it doesn't matter at all, I have ...
More Rules on Amish Dresses!

Growing up in the Amish, I was only allowed to wear SOME of the fabrics in the Amish fabric stores. The girls in Rumspringa were usually allowed to have some more fabrics and colors than when they were a member of the church.

The Amish Cleaning Routine
Просмотров 47 тыс.Месяц назад
I learned how to clean at a very young age in the Amish. I did not like it at all. We used hot water and rags for everything. Most Amish do a deep cleaning in the fall and the spring. They also do it right before they have church at their house. Now that I have left the Amish, I don't mind cleaning as much now that I have more modern cleaning supplies and rarely use a bucket of water and rags. ...

The Amish Beliefs on the Ten Commandments
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
The Amish believe we are to keep all of the Ten Commandments. But the Bible tells us that is not possible because we are all sinners. When I was leaving the Amish, I was accused of not following the Ten Commandments, and so I did a study on them to help me understand what they truly meant. The Amish only have a vague understanding of the Ten Commandments. But remember that they also believe in ...

    I never thought much about it, but there was no electricity or phones when my grandparents were growing up. They were in their 20s when those things came along. They got a house with electricity, and a phone, and a car. A radio. I don't think any of my grandparents ever got a TV.

I have heard the way the girl will show him she's interested in him is by playing with the string or strings. Which I've been told is a form of flirting. But then I've also been told that doesn't mean anything & that any form of flirting is not allowed. I would love to make myself some of the type dresses & bonnets you women & young ladies wear. They're so beautiful.

    God has shown me in dreams and visions what is to come. I don't know why He's chosen me for this, but I follow where He leads me. Those w out the right heart, humble, loving, caring towards others will suffer His wrath. U can do all the things like communion, going to church, praying, delivering people, etc, and it means absolutely nothing. Not if ure heart isn't right. U will be left when He comes and not understand why. Also, He just taught me that there are false prophets and teachers that have separated the church where they make up their own rules, and they tempt His wrath. U need to follow scripture, and if ur church goes outside of that, which I'm finding the mainstream churches like Baptist, church of christ, catholic etc, have all done that. Be warned, He says. Search ur hearts, He will make known the darkness within. Do not lean on ur understanding and hubris that ure ready because I found that I wasn't when I thought I was. People do things to be seen by Him and others, and they judge unjustly. They've made a lot of people walk away from God because of their judgement. Gossip in church and in the community is a huge problem. If ure doing that, be warned, He sees it all. He also showed me I had no faith even tho I thought I had all the faith in the world. When I had the first vision, my first thought was, Oh my gosh, He's real! I'm humble and very aware now. He is bringing me there, but I had to yield. He has me share my dreams and visions because we are almost out of time, and we are at the beginning of the false peace of revelation. Don't conform, and don't be prideful and sure of urself. I pray everyone hears His words and what He's shown me. 🙏🏼 I want to see everyone w a good heart in the sky with me. Love y'all ❤

    I think the off grid aspect is probably appealing to many people. I think it's good to have a form of heat, light etc off grid in the event of a power outage. But, all that control is just not biblical. The whole community with an 8th grade education doesn't help either.

    I grew up Jewish. On Shabbat we weren’t supposed to turn on electric things at all. There was a non Jewish man hired to go to the synagogue prior to Shabbat services to unlock the building and turn on all the lights and stuff. Some years ago, I went to synagogue with my mother and she was showing me the motion activated lights in the kitchen. She thought it was great. I asked what was the difference between touching a light switch and stepping over a door sill. Both actions turn on the light. My mother told me not to be “so technical.” Your information about the Amish and electricity feels the same.

      She did explain it at 3:28. It is against their religion. Everything Amish is "this is the way we have always done it". However, they regularly have disagreements on approving changes to the rules, which can cause a group to break off and start their own version of the religion.

    I'm not trying to be mean, but I find the Amish to be rather hypocritical. If they find so many ways to circumvent and cheat the practices representing their belief system, then they really don't believe in doing or avoiding doing these things in order to honor God. If the Amish really believe that doing or avoiding doing these things are necessary to honor God, and yet they find so very many ways around these things which are necessary to honor God, I'm sorry, but then they clearly do not seem to honor God, or they believe they can 'fool' or 'trick' God I'm truly not trying to be hateful by writing this, but I'm merely stating a logical fact. And I don't at all dislike or mean to disrespect the Amish.

    • @Rebeccas_penmanship
      @Rebeccas_penmanship 14 часов назад

      They don't believe they are fooling or tricking God; they are following the rules from the church and bishop. Imagine converting all your stuff to batteries and running a bussiness or home, or raising a baby. I'm tired just thinking about it. Like this lady said in the video: the reason they don't use power lines is bc it's against the religion. why is it against the religion? Bc it's against the religion. There is no reason, these are completely arbitrary rules, yet they follow bc it's "against the religion." If you're talking about teens sneaking smartphones, they're sneaking them from their parents--not from God. Given NO reason, it doesn't seem like such a vast sin. And they're young, and haven't committed to joining the church yet. If God is all knowing, he would have known electricity was in human's future, but there are no laws or mention of it in the scripture. The Amish aren't breaking from God's word then, by using or not using electricity. Their own rules might just be another way to keep their community seperate and protected from the outsiders and worldly bad influence. Also, while I don't share any of their beliefs, I find it kind of pointless to condemn them. Every religious person doesn't follow their religion perfectly.

    I live in southeast Ohio around lots of Amish and conservative Mennonites. When I asked an adult Amish lady why they didn't teach science or history in their schools, her response was, "Why do we need to know it?". I said that science is all about the stuff God created. How God had created stars and outer space was amazing. But she said people could learn about it on their own if they wanted, but she said knowing it didn't help them in daily life. I had taken a 47 year old Amish man to a rodeo, and they sang the national anthem at the beginning. Amish are not taught that or the pledge. So after everyone sat down after the song and quietly standing with their hands on their hearts, he asked me what everyone was doing? At his age, he still didn't know.

    Hey! I appreciate your videos. I'm not amish, but I am an ordained English minister. I live in an Amish home that I rent, without electricity. Personally, I would never want to go back to electricity because I stand against smart meters and microwaves due to the EMF and dangerous radiation. Also, I love living a simple life. Solar panels, lithium batteries, that's the life for me. But either way, whether somebody wants electricity or not, it's not a sin. We have the Christian Liberty to live either way.
