A lot of people think that, but you wouldn’t want to. You can start living that way without joining the community. Just be ok with working non stop from 4 or 5am until sundown, having no higher education and get used to repetitive and boring tasks as your only form of entertainment. They shun the outside world until they need it, and example is hospitals. It’s not as perfect as these people make it sound. I lived near an Amish community for several years and I heard some awful stories from women who left. They particularly have a hard life.

They gave us a good home, and they deserve to live in good and loving surroundings with their families.

So I am extremely well versed about the Amish,aside from living not far from two vacinities of Amish and Mennonites. And they dont need us English/outsiders for transportation.They have and would much rather deal with Mennonites then 'others' or 'English'. Most (note I say most, not all,only deal with others or English when they have to.They much prefer dealing with Mennonites for the things they need that they are not permitted to have or use,by their laws. And they do NOT under any circumstances ever deal with anyone that left the AMISH,or their children even decades later regardless of the reason that they left even if it was their (the Amish's) fault. I have had positive and negative experiences with the Amish,but would never want to live under their rules.

If you knew as much as you proclaimed to know you would know that much.Even the friendly one have to be very careful and secretive.It depends on their and their immeduate families very existence to staying IN the Amish. They have to protect themselves and their families and lifestyles.You clearly know very little about the Amish.No matter how much you would question your Amish friends you would never get full honest answers.They can not answer you without putting themselves at risk.

I live in the heart of this Amish settlement. A lot of what you say has some truth to it, but it's an attempt to distort the facts, overall. Some have cell phones and use computers, some own cars for business use only. The laundry comment is weird, since they haven't washed clothes by hand in generations, and most have washing machines at home. No dryers allowed. They will hang wash on long, high clothes lines in the driving rain, or pounding snow, if they need to. It drys eventually. They frequently use English taxi, van and local trucking services, since it's the practical way to do the job of going 20 miles to Costco, or shipping goods across the county. Nothing I discussed make them any less Amish, or less obedient to their beliefs.

@@louisehakanson4910 No, there are many different sects, of Amish Believers. Huge variations in rules for every aspect of daily living. The overall belief system, and hard rules like no cars for daily use, no driving vehicles on the road, no power lines to the house, etc. are the same everywhere, but a lot of the other stuff is open to the rulings of the bishops and elders. There are groups in my neighborhood that use tractors for field work, and others that are forbidden to do so. There are church groups in my neighborhood that allow pedal bikes, while most Lancaster county Amish forbid them.

The Amish community where this video was filmed is growing fast. There are currently 300 Amish operated, one room school houses here. The video claimed a population of 20-22K, currently that number stands at 38K. The local Amish community doubles in size, roughly every twenty years. Finding room for them all, in a county that has a huge population and an extremely strong economy, coupled with very strict land use rules and growth limits on all types of new building, is tough. There is no real chance for many Amish growing up today to continue the farming lifestyle. As a result, there number of fields that the Amish have gone into, to make a living, is stunning. Everything from manufacturing, and construction, to tourism, furniture building, retail sales, and dozens of other things.

It will be very informative and helpful (4) If you can locate an Amish congregation near you, ask to meet with their leadership for guidance...if they are not available, try to find a Mennonite congregation.

It's not the zombie apocalypse you have to worry about, it is the return of Jesus Christ.. and from what I am learning about the Amish and what I know about the bible, they'll be in good shape on that day.

@@inTruthbyGrace the people on the bottom may be okay, the Bishops and leaders are going to the very hell they claim to fear.

And one of the reasons they will survive is they don't believe in things as nonsensical as zombie apocalypses.

Occasionally, you may find Amish with their own party-line magneto phones, on which they can call each other but not connected with the telecommunications network.

Curious, many people are saying how wonderful the Amish culture is, whilst they sit in heated buildings, with easy access to electricity and the internet. We have an abundance of technologies available to us, let us not romanticise a way of life which very few of us would want to live on a daily basis.

The Amish are in St. Mary’s Country, MD.
