Grew up around the Amish in eastern PA. They replaced my grandparents very very steep roof with a foreman that was 15 and workers even younger. I was in my 30’s and never felt more shame. I was playing with Legos at their ages! Great clear-minded people.

Greatest people you could ever hope to live in a community with. When a farmer gets sick, they all work together while he can’t work and do everything for him, plus their own daily work without asking for a dime. It’s not even a request, it’s a given. They just do it. And they’re some of the happiest people in the world. They make the best deserts, especially pie in the world. It ain’t even close.

[@projectgraham414]

And they abuse animals in the worst way. Amish puppy mills are a huge problem, and it's been well documented. Nevermind how they treat their horses. Oh and they shun their own if they decide to live outside the Amish community. Yeah, not good people...

[@thebadaids]

@@projectgraham414 You’re talking about a very small minority group of Amish. And where in the world are you getting the mistreatment of horses? They spend hours and hours every week making sure those animals are in great shape for their work they do. Those horses are in better physical shape and seen by doctors more than most humans. The last thing they’re going to do is abuse them. They need them. There’s multiple different groups, and what you’re referring to is basically like comparing normal Christians to the ones that use rattlesnakes in their sermons and don’t believe in medicine when they get bit. Educate yourself. You can always find the 1% in any group of people that make them seem horrible. As for the banishment thing, in most Amish communities, there’s a term for it, I forget what it’s called, it’s a Dutch word, it starts with an R I believe and it’s hard to pronounce, but around the age of 16-20 they encourage their children to go out into the world and see it for themselves. Surprisingly, most of them come back. Some don’t, but that’s just based on the individual. But what do I know, I just lived near a bunch most of my life and communicated with many different types of Amish/Mennonites/Etc. But yeah, horrible people. Mission all around the world, provide for people that need help, have tight knit communities and families that stay together. Look after their parents and take over their farms when they grow old until the day they pass away. Never lock their doors, have close to 0% crime. Personally raise their children and make sure they learn morals as opposed to dropping them off at government schools and daycares. What a disgrace.

[@projectgraham414]

@@thebadaids and I grew up close to Lancaster, PA, which is Amish central. I ended up with a puppy mill dog, and that poor thing was the most fucked up creature I've tried to live with. The word you're looking for is rumspringa. Yes, many come back, but the ones that don't are shunned and never allowed to come back. They're a cult, pure and simple. They just happen to make really good pies and jams too.

[@thebadaids]

@@projectgraham414 Yes, that’s the word. We both obviously have had experiences with the Amish, I never have even heard anything about them dealing in puppies, so maybe that was an incredibly unfortunate regional thing you saw, but it’s definitely not the norm. I guess we’ll agree to disagree. But even you have to admit that by and large, they have a great reputation worldwide for the things they do. There’s horrible people everywhere. Sorry you had a bad experience. I heard one bad case where an extremely cult like, but incredibly small chapter of the most extreme sect of Amish banished a guy who had been in the community for 40 odd years because he moved a machine off the road that was blocking traffic and about to tip over. They banished him because they don’t believe in using modern technology at that specific group. Horrible stuff does happen, but it’s the exception, not the rule.

[@danjohnson2986]

Strawberry Point Iowa, I can attest. I got two pies from an Amish family. Went into their home and got an apple and pumpkin pie (it was fall) and I ended up driving their daughter about 1.5 miles up the road to her schoolhouse. She was carrying a giant casserole. Over the years I’ve grown a solid business relationship with many in the plains community. I have one gentleman I can call a personal friend. We have a gentleman’s agreement that one day he’ll loan me a buggy and a horse and we’ll race. My caveat is that his horse will be buttercup and mine will be greased lightning. Lol. True story.

My dad was a stockbroker in the Ft. Wayne area and about half his clients were Amish. I've driven for them many times. Seen a good handful of Amish weddings. They're good people. They do smell weird, and they do...act a bit weird. But they're honest, trustworthy folks. And Pat's description of them is actually pretty much correct. They call us "English," by the way.

[@mikehurt3290]

There a former Amish on KZbin and he said his family only took baths on Saturday because church is on Sunday, he said when he got out he didn't know how to take a shower or that he should bath regularly at first

[@thelastmanonearth2631]

@Mike Hurt yeah, that sounds true, although I never asked to confirm that. I think the thing that's "weird" about them is they're a bit like a colony of ants. It's intentional, but there is ZERO individuality. And you can visibly see the groupthink when they build houses. I mean it's very noticeable and pretty jarring. Very very trustworthy people though. I don't think I've ever seen an Amish lie about anything, and I was around them my entire youth.

Big Amish community here in Southern Maryland. I always see them when going to the drag strip. Always found that kind of funny that these Amish just have to hear race cars all day. Also some Amish are like halfway modern just so they can function with normal people. We got a big Amish built playground/swingset and they pulled up 5 deep in an old chevy. Real nice work. Had a little play house with a door and nice like regular house windows with screens. Used to hotbox it with my buddies all the time in high-school. Was so nice that 12 years after it was built, long after my sister had grew out of it someone paid a few grand for it and came and picked it up.

[@josamaroo]

I live in North Central Indiana which is about an hour North of Pat and we are surrounded by the Amish. Actually we call them German Baptist but there are several different groups that have their own churches and rules. Most of them drive cars, have electricity at home, and some even send their children to public schools but there's also those who drive horse and buggy and have no electricity. I see the horse and buggies drive through town several times a week and they go to the store or take care of whatever business they have. Sometimes you'll see young kids driving them too and once I was at the gas station and an Amish kid came up and asked if I'd help him pump some gas into his gas can. I asked him if it was his first time and he said no but he's not allowed to pump it I guess due to his religion so I pumped it for him. They are the nicest people you will ever meet and I'll never forget the party we had at one of my German Baptist classmates house the night before we graduated high school.

I will say this. Pretty much all Amish have phones now. They can’t have electricity wired to their houses, but they can have it in their barns, sheds, or businesses. They also aren’t really supposed to own electronics or automobiles but they can rent whatever they need. So you will every once in a while see an Amish guy driving around a van, but that’s very very uncommon.

[@benjaminburris9893]

Yep. I had a few Amish crews I contracted with when I was in construction and some of them had phones they’d use for business but stow away when they got home.

Never thought I'd see the day Pat is talking about the Amish. I'm from the O.G. Amish area (Lancaster County, PA). Hardest working people I've met. Their baked goods are out of this world. If you're ever in Lancaster County, the best places to visit are Roots (pronounced Rutts. Think Butts but with a R instead of a B and it's only open on Tuesday), Green Dragon (only open on Fridays except swap meet Saturdays), and Central Market. Stay away from the tourist area of Route 30. Unless you like shopping.

I think there is a lot of Amish that are Colts fans here in Indiana. I remember one year I drove to a friend's house to watch a Colts playoff game that was north of Fort Wayne and I had to drive thru a heavily Amish populated area. As I was going there there was like 47 buggies lined up outside of a barn. I thought wow must be a wedding, but it was a Sunday afternoon and I thought that was a weird time for a Amish wedding. Well it was one of those classic playoff losses to the chargers so I left (pissed off) a few minutes before the game was over. And when I drove by that Amish barn everyone of them were leaving (visibly pissed as well) then I realized that must of been the only one with a TV in their barn and all of Grabill was grouped up there watching the Colts playoff game.
