Margie, No you're not rude, sometimes the amish are just hard to understand, God lov'em. I haul 12 amish guys to work every day. They bought the van, I...
Hum, women were supposed to be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. Right Mose? Yeah, just another of those stories. Blessings Ron from Indiana mose...
that sort of thing was a very open subject in my culture. It was definitely not hush, hush. I remember the time that I was working with a bunch of Amish...
Ron, I think you hit the nail on the head when you say the rules are a control thing. Your Amish friends are certainly creative in finding ways to get around...
The Amish around here even hire drivers on Sundays to take them to church. Even though they preach and preach about keeping the Lords day holy. There are even...
Bless you Ron!! You put it into words so much better than I could. That is exactly how it works. We even have a man in our district that makes millions with...
the birth control thing was only talked about amongst friends. It was by no means talked about openly. There is a new generation of Amish women that are how...
As hard as the Amish women have to work, how would they ever find time to gossip on the phone?! So is the problem BUYING the bottle or DRINKING from the...
I would assume that they would think that they could keep it to themselves, thinking that their peers would not have TV or radio anyway. Very Naive. ... From:...
There is a married Amish man that used to run around the same time that me and my husband did, He makes his own wine. In fact he has catalogs from a wine...
It is very sad to read that these Amish groups are answering to each other and not to God. Have they lost sight of what Christianity is all about? Can they...
When was this film released? There was an Australian film of this name made in the 80s (I think), it was set in a Catholic boy's school, I guess you are not...
So the city kids bowed to their god: MONEY!! Could we have expected anything else? Incidentally I would like to say to Mose directly what I have said long ago...
Monica, Hey, it sounds like you did have a bummer day. Cheer up, bones heal (quickly when you're young), fevers go away, and things do get better. It's...
I know an amish guy who won $1000.00 on a stratch off. He had his English friend cash it in for him. His "friend" kept half for his "trouble". I think it...
Marge, have you ever heard the expression "the best defense is a good offense". So if you can't defend what you are "preaching" you try to out yell you...
Marge, it is even more simple then that. I don't recall the excate verses, but something like. "the whole Bible is wrapped up in two things. Love the Lord...
And you are right, if you try to ask questions or ask for some answer "they" can't give you are labeled and the rest of the congregation looks at you funny. I...
The film follows the life of a few very troubled teens and their journey through life as an Amish,and also their life after they leave on their Rumspringa.A...
My point is,Probably roughly 80% of the Amish,be it men or women,are for the most part able very well to do just what the church requires,without a whole lot...
Ron, you are so right. If you follow these two verses, you really don't need any other rules. Your church sounds like the kind of church I am looking for. So...
Oh Mose, I'm so sorry about the way your family has reacted to you. I can't imagine how hard that has to be for you. You have alot of support and sympathy...
Marge, I knew I didn't have the wording quite right for the statement or our church purpose. Strange how you can see things and read them over and over but...
