wow,
where do you even start with the Amish. many different groups and do things differently as far as conveniences and technology goes.

no i do not have a good opinion of them. they are sinners just like the rest of us, some even "worse". our county deputies will tell you most of the drug busts around here are amish. pretty much every time i've done business with amish we've gotten or almost gotten ripped off. ya anyone can rip you off but seems like, at our house anyway, amish are at about 90% rip off rate. so no i do not have a good opinion. there is truely such a thing as the amish mafia. no they don't act like the classic mafia, its much more subtle but just as damaging. for example if you don't do what so and so says or wants he'll bad mouth you or make sure none of the other amish do business with you ect ect. ..

many around here use power equipment of all sorts. many are allowed to drive but only business related. ride bikes, some have tractors but they can only be a certain age (old) like say 60 years or more and on steel. most/many have cell phones. many of the kids drive when going thru their "rumspringer" (no clue how to spell it basically they can do and dress what ever they want in their late teens) so everyone in the house rides with them... not much sense to me to let the kids go out and sin all they want and then come back into the fold.... most do come back as dad has the $$ and they don't want to be shunned and loose out. i think that's when they're getting into the drug scene.

they were branched off of the Mennonite not the other way around as some might think. some in Pennsylvania are what my dad always called "black bumper" amish.. basically i think just very old order, conservative Mennonite that take all the chrome off or paint it black on their cars. of course several different groups of mennonites out there too.

ya, this was a bit of an amish rant... i could go on but will save that for another day.
