I work at a lumber yard and I interact with the Amish just about everyday. They're the nicest people you'll ever meet and their construction and woodworking skills are far more superior than anything else I've ever seen.
I too work with Amish and mennonites daily and they are definitely fine people. Some of the hardest working people I've met also. Outside of the religious side I love their lifestyle
@javier josefides well sure, but they are the way they are because they are not lazy and live in such small communities. They get off their ass on their own and get to work. If they worshipped the sun, they would have the same results
@Table-Country pinxing THRYM Firearms 27 i understand, i was just saying you dont need religion to have a good work ethic. To clarify i dont have any ill will, only respect towards religion
Wavey Boys , they are what !!!? Is this your big problem, I can see what you mean from your name (wavey boys) and I’m so sure you will love them if they expand your hole 🕳.
Two amish women were working in the garden and one digs up a large potato. Ester says " This reminds me of Amos." "That big?" asks Mary. "No, that dirty" replies Ester.
Me too. Hopefully looking to homestead and going off grid or getting as close to off grid as possible. I already the solar generator, the oil lamps just need a horse and a garden and a cabin
I'm born in the modern world. but a life like this is what I like. simple and have been to other countries exploring. and the Amish in Ohio is the friendliest I have ever met. even though I'm Muslim they accepted me in their homes and community due to one of the son in same school as me when I'm in the USA. not all Amish are close minded. some have developed well and embrace and welcome other religion. maybe 1 in 30 Amish family will do that but its changing soon. and when the family visited me in Singapore they stay with us for 1 week as my family have 3 extra rooms. we don't put any religious signs in any of our rooms so anybody will feel comfortable as we respect all religion. Amish people are super friendly but cautious. would love to go to Kentucky where they have moved and visit one day. and till now 15 years I'm still in touch with the Amish family I knew. god bless them
same stress as a human, just a different way of doing the day to day things like getting to the store, and if they farm the way they do that. I work with this people everyday at there homes and business. and they have drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, sexual abuse, depression, misuse of funds in business... every bad thing we have and they have the good as well. one thing they have that is so lacking in "English" is true "community" they do not have internet social media fake relationships, they quilt together, hunt together, Church together, vacation together. and that goes a long way.
@@BladeoftheDarkmoon if there ever was a E.M.P. & no more electricity the Amish would never know the difference but us English would either conform or go mad!
Occasionally they have rented homes that still have power available but they do not have the power company turn it on. In the beginning that home was a model Amish home not a real Amish home.
More and more Amish are moving to our neighborhood and I'm loving it! They are the friendliest, most helpful people I know and never want anything in return. I love the clip clip of the horse/ buggies going by on Sundays going to church. I've learned a lot from these nice people.
the problem is they think their above the law and for the most part they are because the tourist bring in revenues thats why the law turns the other cheek and that is just wrong on so many levels
This reminds me very much of that program called Little house on the prairie. What a relaxing way to live. No anxiety No knife crime. No murders. Nice and quiet.
Move to Nevada, but not Vegas or Reno. Go to the small towns, I’m talking towns with only 300 people and only way to get there is on atv or horseback. Like jarbridge. Great place!
All they are doing is living like our ancestors from the 1800s, off the grid permaculture, i don't blame them i want to live the same way in a tiny house, that's why most stay happily married they don't have internet to tempt or tv.
The only one to live in a tiny house was a grossmommy, a widow. She lived in a little house in her son's yard. Not true entirely about internet. LOTS of Amish know how to go on-line, use a computer, cell phone. They aren't supposed to, but that doesn't stop them. There are Amish, teens edpecualky, al, over the internet!
You said it, Derek. The garbage that is on tv that forms people, and all the disgusting pornography everywhere on the internet and in our culture, has tainted the hearts of many, which easily leads to unhappy marriages and divorce rates through the rough.
I've been wanting to de-clutter and just live with less STUFF. This video has motivated me to start it very soon!! Life just isn't about STUFF! Thanks for the video!!
Yes they hv no electricity, no tv no phones but oh hw blessed they r! They hv no drugs no porns no addiction. They work hard but r actually free in their mind n spirit. Theirs is a community that stays pure for God. I respect them in all their ways. God bless them always..
They have drugs and addictions. In fact, some of them have been arrested for dealing. Not all...not even the majority, definitely a very small minority...but they're not perfect.
There is always going to be someone that doesn't comply with the societal rules. With the Amish they are very secretive about their inner workings, maybe thats why because they don't want people to know their dirt. I have heard horror stories coming from actual members about incest, drug addiction and everything else under the sun. They are not perfect, no human is.

You never hear cursing when watching the Amish, to be so respected.

@Chickennugget you need to dig more in your history. as a muslim, I totally respect the amish. they choose to live that life. I respect Christians, Jews, etc because my religion says, everyone has a mind and heart to choose his faith, but what I don't accept and what I don't respect is claiming that Islam killed many people way far than any religion. first of all religions do not kill, people do, and there is a difference between a religion and its followers. second, Islam didn't kill entire contents to occupy and live on others lands. third, Islam didn't launch wars to colonize countries and suck their gold, diamond or oil. forth, Islam didn't massacre nations like the Jews. fifth, Islam didn't bomb villages and towns with nuclear weapons. sixth, Islam didn't start WW1 or 2. seventh, Islam is not putting its nose on everyone's business nowadays on the name of democracy. Islam is just the scapegoat everyone is using to erase the horrible history and to kill facts. I suggest you relax, eat some chicken nuggets and educate yourself.
@StealthyMonk It's more like "Man" is to blame than God, Man says it "in the name of God" it doesn't mean God told them to do it you are very ignorant to put the blame on God for Man's actions?
This is very different from the Amish community we lived in for years. They had regular toilets and showers and gas stoves and gas lights everywhere. They just charged huge batteries off the property and ran a water pump by fuel. Many Amish now also use tractors and if not they use a diesel run PTO in-between their horses and machinery.
Diesel is something you take from The Earth. Electricity is something the human being made and it makes things easier to get but they value the effort they puto into things and how they cost to get them.
@Anglus Patria Diesel is not natural. It is modify for its use. Also when you burn it, you contaminate the air with smokes and dirt. So yes, all these things are bad.
I really don't understand you folks that always question the promise Amish people. There's certainly nothing wrong with there lifestyle I just wish that people would leave them along and stop downing them and also passing judgement if we had more folks like them the world would be a much better happy and sample life then there wouldn't be all this wickness in high place you folks know they don't believe in cameras then yous really shouldn't tougher and put them in the precision God love you folks I know yous probably mean well but place stop and just leave there's loving people alone. I'm not Amish myself but I love them they are my brother and sister in Christ I know it's there choice to be entervived but please don't condemn them and make light of them there beauful people's and I've learned a lot from them and there standards and they mean a lot to me just love and respect them place thanks God richly bless and keep in his care. P.s. I'm not trying to be rude or mean but it vouchers me greatly when people's goes against the Amish keep them off camera and respect there believe and faith in God. God love all you Amish people's I love yous very much and I thank the Lord folks like yous. I do hope someone well reply to me long commute here. Just leave them alone and respect and love them as your fellow man love our neighbour as our selves they are my neighbour. I admirer all you Amish people's and above all keep the faith in Jesus Christ. May God richly bless and keep yous all in his care. You lady's are very very modest and I certainly love and admirer all that.
This is Billy.Their lifestyle actually closer to biblical pioneer style living.It's culture isn't for everyone.It's purist,strict & very heartwarming.So close to early settler days with it's own language dress & hand made quality wholesome manner driven moral ethical life that shows respect to the environment that spawned it.
When you realize that real happiness is coming from within you will stop chasing it outside and ended up like a dog chasing it's tail. In the end you don't need drugs or alcohol to make you happy, and you're living stress free life...

I love this video! You did a great job. That's where I come from so I kinda know how it is. Its obviously different from community to community. Keep up the good work!
I like this guy. Check out the way he jumps up on the truck towards the end. He's good at what he does, and he likes doing it. He doesn't think about anything else. I want to be like him.
Too bad you religious wingnuts forget--or CONVENIENTLY put the bad RESULTS of Amish doctrine (like the old saying--"out of sight, out of mind). They have a horrendous problem of inter-breeding causing REAL birth defects, including mental retardation! And it won't get any better since no new conscripts are joining this outdated religious order!
good video, I was born in Indiana near Amish community but we moved to Louisiana when I was young I'm in Texas now , enjoying the video, I quilt and can and cook from scratch so I appreciate all the talents they work so hard on , they work hard,and treat others kind, ,will watch the videos if you wanna see my channel its new I have a few canning videos up and soon as weather cools a bit I will be adding more canning videos,beautiful wood work, I subscribed
I'm learning about the Amish for my school and let me tell you the amish live so much different from how I live or how people live in my society. I swear I'd die living like this...
Ben Troyer Jr , you’re absolutely correct. The Amish in my area range from just barely Amish, to very strict Amish. And they aren’t all farmers or woodworkers.
I have a girl and a young boy. We have lived this rat race in America. If we wanted to move into an Amish community, who can I talk to. Neither of us are opposed to working hard. We would just need a place to sleep after a long hard day.
Just to be clear, the Amish don't all live like this. Electricity and plumbing aren't banned in every community. Their unifying belief is in a simple life without unnecessary advances. But that understanding differs. Some don't find technology as intrusive as others. What might surprise people is that the Amish have been known to form cartels. They aren't simpletons with a monolithic belief. They're people.
It is interesting to learn about their way of life and I appreciate that from what I can see, they live their lives without trying to push their beliefs on other people. I wish we could see the same respect for Native Americans, although we live on native land many people don't recognize that or even respect reservations.
@Arnulfo Laniba Well, you can hide from the truth, but that doesn't help the horses. The Amish in general use the old cowboy way of breaking their horses. They use pain, fear, and intimidation. Then they overwork them. The horse is just a tool to them.
@Arnulfo Laniba Of course the old cowboy way of treating a horse is abuse. The other way of working with the horse is developing mutual trust and respect. Then the horse wants to do as you ask, willingly.
@@iskdude9922 My point is that they claim to shun the technology of the world, but then why are they cooking on a type of stove produced in the 1800s? I'd believe them a bit more if they cooked over an open fire.
There are lessons that can be learnt from these people if only to appreciate what you are lucky to have and also how to be self sufficient for food. Their work ethic is truly inspiring ..... however i dont agree with the gender seperation, i dont agree personally with the lack of things like clean water, medical care, but that is for my personal situation, if it makes them happy then great i am happy for them and in truth they have a much healthier lifestyle. I am planning a farm which is both modern for utilities and yet is very similar to amish lifestyle. It is a shame the amish arent more open to teaching others traditional skills.
Frightened Female tbh I wouldn't mind living that kind of lifestyle I mean I don't necessarily need technology, all I need to live is a little house in the country where I can hunt and fish and love life everyday
This is Gods people. I am not amish but at 45 years old I learned the truth. This is what God wants us to do. 2 Corinthians 6 14 -18 be separated from the world. Thanks for sharing. God bless. 👍
i used to go in their markets and by homemade bread, pies and fresh milk. right next door on the same property they had a mill that processed log cabin kits,pretty much all hand made.
Isn't the point of technology is to simplify life? People nowadays are stressed out not because of technology, but because they overcomplicate everything.
Laura Starling are you talking about the one in the buggy? If you see the horse is slowing the buggy down which means he has to push back to slow it down and then he turns to the left because he is turning! I can guarantee you that you have an Amish man would be working a lame horse in 99% of Amish communities he would disowned by the Amish church
Sure, you can be Amish! First you have to learn to speak/read German, "Pennsylvania Dutch" which is a common language of German, Dutch, and English., because the holy bible you'll be reading every day is in German.Then you spend a year or two in a "proven" lifestyle. Proving to the church elders that you are serious about being Amish; completely living the Amish way. You will do, wear, pray, work, live everything Armish. Then you may be accepted and allowed to be baptized. Only then can you pick your new slave wife and marry, after you're baptized. Easier to get a microwave and a dishwasher. Oh Ya no electricity, cars, TV, cellphones, power tools, etc. and you get up at 4:30-5:00 am. Work your farm/job six days a week until 7pm. The horses you'll need for your buggy? They have few indiscretions at to where they'll sh!t, so get yourself a shovel before you move in, lol....
Bilb Ono converting English to Amish is very challenging but doable they like to keep everything in the community or surrounding community each one has there own set of rules some stricter than others... They speak English and pennsilvania Dutch you would have to learn the language and culture and it isn t as simple as you see in videos... when you convert to Amish or Mennonite you are giving up everything you know and love from the outside world.... Also if you decide to leave the Amish you are shunned and your family cannot talk to you unless the church says other wise.... I just watched a Biograhy on the Amish.... it was very interesting.
You can convert. Look into it...it's not easy...but frequently a family Will take you in for as long as it takes for you to meet the requirements. I have looked into it.
When i get older, my dream is to have 2 houses ... One small city, suffiecient house for me and my family that is up to date with modern day life and a cottage somewhere where i can go and relieve myself from the stress,hustle and bustle of this world... Where i can do lots of worship, meditation, pondering, thinking and hiking and reconnecting with God, nature and myself... Not to the extent of the Amish people, though I would have no problem doing those things and even getting my children to do those things so we can be grateful and appreciative.
I don't understand the no plumbing believe? The Romans had an excellent plumbing system 2000 years ago. Jesus must have taken a poop on a Roman toilet at some point! I'm confused 😳
They seem like the types of people I would want in my neighbourhood. Honest and hard working, minding their own business, causing no trouble.
Amen to that!

This is very different from the Amish community we lived in for years. They had regular toilets and showers and gas stoves and gas lights everywhere. They just charged huge batteries off the property and ran a water pump by fuel. Many Amish now also use tractors and if not they use a diesel run PTO in-between their horses and machinery.
I love that life simple,basic,quiet no other way
GREAT VIDEO!! 👍👍🌲LOVE FROM GERMANY🌲🌲🌲😘angie
So he has a Diesel engine but won’t use electricity? 🤔
Diesel is something you take from The Earth. Electricity is something the human being made and it makes things easier to get but they value the effort they puto into things and how they cost to get them.
Diesel doesn’t use electricity/spark plugs
@Anglus Patria Diesel is not natural. It is modify for its use. Also when you burn it, you contaminate the air with smokes and dirt. So yes, all these things are bad.
The Amish are fantastic people and I love and respect them and they're ways
I wish to live like you guys. Please invite me over if you have a spare room.
If you really want to...it is possible (but not easy) to convert.

Love the furniture beautiful
Such a peaceful life. I don't think I've ever seen any of them suffer from stress, strokes, or diabetes.
I really don't understand you folks that always question the promise Amish people. There's certainly nothing wrong with there lifestyle I just wish that people would leave them along and stop downing them and also passing judgement if we had more folks like them the world would be a much better happy and sample life then there wouldn't be all this wickness in high place you folks know they don't believe in cameras then yous really shouldn't tougher and put them in the precision God love you folks I know yous probably mean well but place stop and just leave there's loving people alone. I'm not Amish myself but I love them they are my brother and sister in Christ I know it's there choice to be entervived but please don't condemn them and make light of them there beauful people's and I've learned a lot from them and there standards and they mean a lot to me just love and respect them place thanks God richly bless and keep in his care. P.s. I'm not trying to be rude or mean but it vouchers me greatly when people's goes against the Amish keep them off camera and respect there believe and faith in God. God love all you Amish people's I love yous very much and I thank the Lord folks like yous. I do hope someone well reply to me long commute here. Just leave them alone and respect and love them as your fellow man love our neighbour as our selves they are my neighbour. I admirer all you Amish people's and above all keep the faith in Jesus Christ. May God richly bless and keep yous all in his care. You lady's are very very modest and I certainly love and admirer all that.
This is Billy.Their lifestyle actually closer to biblical pioneer style living.It's culture isn't for everyone.It's purist,strict & very heartwarming.So close to early settler days with it's own language dress & hand made quality wholesome manner driven moral ethical life that shows respect to the environment that spawned it.
We got alot of Amish and even Mennonite in Wa state in my town Ellensburg even two whole highways named after their families
I hope to have a person like this good Amish man one day!
AMEN!
When you realize that real happiness is coming from within you will stop chasing it outside and ended up like a dog chasing it's tail.
In the end you don't need drugs or alcohol to make you happy, and you're living stress free life...
Great video, thank you. May the Amish always keep their God and their traditions.
But I thought there one God honestly then more or there .
Despite not want be part of modern life - this is a very PR Version of what they want the world to believe is the Amish world.
PolSmokesPot { ولد الوجيهي }
There is alot of worng things from our perspective - close related marriages > sick kids with many disfunctions, parents wont take them to modern doctor because... Modern... So they dying in pain or thier lives is really hard, because thier medicine is really poor.
I’m watching this in 2020 it’s a real shit show!!! This life looks more and more inviting!
I like my air conditioner way too much to live like the Amish .
I hear you there! lol
mwillblade: You don't need A/C in Maine. 60 degrees in July
Yeah, but most of the Amish communities are not in Maine. It gets pretty hot where I live (yes...we have a large enclave of Amish here)
😂 SAME
I love this video! You did a great job. That's where I come from so I kinda know how it is. Its obviously different from community to community. Keep up the good work!
the house in the video could be the tour guides house.
I like this guy. Check out the way he jumps up on the truck towards the end. He's good at what he does, and he likes doing it. He doesn't think about anything else. I want to be like him.
I am at a loss at to how different a diesel engine from electricity.
Its independent?
I’m watching this on my phone, with it plugged in...with the heat on.
Blessed
God has blest the simple life.... with less they have so much more!
Working dawn till dusk An doing it like the 17 hundreds is not a easy life .
I don't believe in God so what eves
Too bad you religious wingnuts forget--or CONVENIENTLY put the bad RESULTS of Amish doctrine (like the old saying--"out of sight, out of mind). They have a horrendous problem of inter-breeding causing REAL birth defects, including mental retardation! And it won't get any better since no new conscripts are joining this outdated religious order!
Word..
good video, I was born in Indiana near Amish community but we moved to Louisiana when I was young I'm in Texas now , enjoying the video, I quilt and can and cook from scratch so I appreciate all the talents they work so hard on , they work hard,and treat others kind, ,will watch the videos if you wanna see my channel its new I have a few canning videos up and soon as weather cools a bit I will be adding more canning videos,beautiful wood work, I subscribed
I would love visit a Amish family
I'm learning about the Amish for my school and let me tell you the amish live so much different from how I live or how people live in my society. I swear I'd die living like this...
I would be very careful how much I say all the Amish do this or that. there are quite a few different types of Amish in America.
Ben Troyer Jr , you’re absolutely correct. The Amish in my area range from just barely Amish, to very strict Amish. And they aren’t all farmers or woodworkers.
I respect the amish! We are hoping to buy a Amish's house soon and hopefully live a little simpler lifestyle. 😊Praying to God it all workout.
This is such an amazing lifestyle
The quality of craftsmanship with this furniture is unreal!
I have a girl and a young boy. We have lived this rat race in America. If we wanted to move into an Amish community, who can I talk to. Neither of us are opposed to working hard. We would just need a place to sleep after a long hard day.
Kryxys naive
Just to be clear, the Amish don't all live like this. Electricity and plumbing aren't banned in every community. Their unifying belief is in a simple life without unnecessary advances. But that understanding differs. Some don't find technology as intrusive as others. What might surprise people is that the Amish have been known to form cartels. They aren't simpletons with a monolithic belief. They're people.
I love amish..i want live with them..❤
It is interesting to learn about their way of life and I appreciate that from what I can see, they live their lives without trying to push their beliefs on other people. I wish we could see the same respect for Native Americans, although we live on native land many people don't recognize that or even respect reservations.
Very true
Listen if you real this and you’re Amish,
Lol nevermind
Sometimes I wish I was born Amish. Very simple and godly life. They intrigue me.
Amazing people! I envy them
Do your research and discover how they treat their horses. Prepare yourself for the results.
Turkeydoodlers L. Naive
@Arnulfo Laniba Well, you can hide from the truth, but that doesn't help the horses. The Amish in general use the old cowboy way of breaking their horses. They use pain, fear, and intimidation. Then they overwork them. The horse is just a tool to them.
@Arnulfo Laniba Of course the old cowboy way of treating a horse is abuse. The other way of working with the horse is developing mutual trust and respect. Then the horse wants to do as you ask, willingly.
@Arnulfo Laniba I see the behavior. You must be blinded to the truth.
More people need to see this and restore the balance of life. I love their satisfaction in simplicity.
how come they have a windmill, that's technonogy . . . .
It's interesting where they choose to draw the line. One could easily argue that their fancy woodburning stove is the result of technology as well.
@@Blippity_Bloop64 nothing wrong with technology. Good shtf skills but they got no guns. At least i dont think...
@@iskdude9922 My point is that they claim to shun the technology of the world, but then why are they cooking on a type of stove produced in the 1800s? I'd believe them a bit more if they cooked over an open fire.
Bigfatmouth i think the point is not to indulge in excessive luxury which technology brings. It also brings dependency.
There are lessons that can be learnt from these people if only to appreciate what you are lucky to have and also how to be self sufficient for food. Their work ethic is truly inspiring ..... however i dont agree with the gender seperation, i dont agree personally with the lack of things like clean water, medical care, but that is for my personal situation, if it makes them happy then great i am happy for them and in truth they have a much healthier lifestyle. I am planning a farm which is both modern for utilities and yet is very similar to amish lifestyle. It is a shame the amish arent more open to teaching others traditional skills.
I would probably go insane living that lifestyle.
I agree, but, if that's all you knew and were born into it, it's just a way of life to them
Frightened Female not if you were born into Amish life.
If you are living in that American jungle, you maybe already insane.
Frightened Female tbh I wouldn't mind living that kind of lifestyle I mean I don't necessarily need technology, all I need to live is a little house in the country where I can hunt and fish and love life everyday
thats what you think but once you get used to it you will love your life
The horse buggies are so darling.
I would love to live a life like this
Till you actually tried it...
right if the tourist really knew the truth we they still come i suppose they would
This is Gods people. I am not amish but at 45 years old I learned the truth. This is what God wants us to do. 2 Corinthians 6 14 -18 be separated from the world. Thanks for sharing. God bless. 👍
How do they consume memes?
Rowena Williams craft them out of wood
Look at me using technology to listen to the Amish tell me about the dangers of technology.
What's up with the electric outlet in the bedroom?
Váš nábytek je krásný,přeji mnoho štěstí!
Y’all wanting to live this life are crazy lmao😂😂
i used to go in their markets and by homemade bread, pies and fresh milk. right next door on the same property they had a mill that processed log cabin kits,pretty much all hand made.
3:50 Of course.. Coronavirus.
Isn't the point of technology is to simplify life? People nowadays are stressed out not because of technology, but because they overcomplicate everything.
That horse is severely struggling due to its lameness. Pisses me off that they never give their horses time to heal.
Laura Starling I know when I was Amish we sure gave our horses time to heal not sure where you're getting your information
Laura Starling where I was born and raised in the church would excommunicate you if you did not treat your horse right
Joseph Yoder I'm getting my information from watching the horse move. Head is bobbing and leg is pulling. Clear sign of lameness.
Laura Starling are you talking about the one in the buggy? If you see the horse is slowing the buggy down which means he has to push back to slow it down and then he turns to the left because he is turning! I can guarantee you that you have an Amish man would be working a lame horse in 99% of Amish communities he would disowned by the Amish church
Laura Starling there buggy horses are standardbreds
Mark chapter 7
2 Corinthians 3:13-18
Galatians 5:4-6
Galatians 3:10
Romans 4:4
Ephesians 2:8-9
I highly recommend the Amish read thenew testament, especially Romans chapter 3-chapter 8
can you "convert" to being amish?
if i had a woman to do all that at home, id craft the hell out of some wood too.
Sure, you can be Amish! First you have to learn to speak/read German, "Pennsylvania Dutch" which is a common language of German, Dutch, and English., because the holy bible you'll be reading every day is in German.Then you spend a year or two in a "proven" lifestyle. Proving to the church elders that you are serious about being Amish; completely living the Amish way. You will do, wear, pray, work, live everything Armish. Then you may be accepted and allowed to be baptized. Only then can you pick your new slave wife and marry, after you're baptized. Easier to get a microwave and a dishwasher. Oh Ya no electricity, cars, TV, cellphones, power tools, etc. and you get up at 4:30-5:00 am. Work your farm/job six days a week until 7pm. The horses you'll need for your buggy? They have few indiscretions at to where they'll sh!t, so get yourself a shovel before you move in, lol....

Bilb Ono converting English to Amish is very challenging but doable they like to keep everything in the community or surrounding community each one has there own set of rules some stricter than others... They speak English and pennsilvania Dutch you would have to learn the language and culture and it isn t as simple as you see in videos... when you convert to Amish or Mennonite you are giving up everything you know and love from the outside world.... Also if you decide to leave the Amish you are shunned and your family cannot talk to you unless the church says other wise.... I just watched a Biograhy on the Amish.... it was very interesting.
Not dissing on there lifestyle at all it's just the old way it works for them and they are happy and that's what matters 😊
You can convert. Look into it...it's not easy...but frequently a family Will take you in for as long as it takes for you to meet the requirements. I have looked into it.
My mother is from Holmes county Ohio. And has been in Wayne County for 6 years now.
i like them

When i get older, my dream is to have 2 houses ... One small city, suffiecient house for me and my family that is up to date with modern day life and a cottage somewhere where i can go and relieve myself from the stress,hustle and bustle of this world... Where i can do lots of worship, meditation, pondering, thinking and hiking and reconnecting with God, nature and myself... Not to the extent of the Amish people, though I would have no problem doing those things and even getting my children to do those things so we can be grateful and appreciative.
They need to allow using underarm deodoranton themselves! I was near a group of them at an airport, and man did they stink!
Blech! That's just nasty. No excuse. Soap and water are cheap. Use them! You don't need deodorant if you wash daily, wear clean clothes daily.
Not true at all. By noontime you can have bad armpit odor. Men especially but women too need deodorant.
This is very unique I have so much respect for them!
Uma Ma naive
I wish us English be more like the Amish.
No cops or traffic lights, living in an Amish Paradise.
I don't understand the no plumbing believe? The Romans had an excellent plumbing system 2000 years ago. Jesus must have taken a poop on a Roman toilet at some point! I'm confused 😳
Roman plumbing is different from modern plumbing
