AloneIBreak 07/23/23 7:12:30 PM #6:	Theyve always treated me fine. One time I found an Amish fellow named Amos at a club in my hometown. He lamented the fakeness of that reality show Amish Mafia. He followed me and my girlfriend home and came to our apartment, apparently wanted to see her boobs. She was drunk and zonked out so he left. --- "Never confuse education with intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot." -Richard Feynman <cite>AloneIBreak posted [p:975023835] in how do you...

cjsdowg 07/23/23 7:21:37 PM #9:	I don't know what to think. I have heard a number of people escape the Amish and talk about harsh treatment, shunning , sexual abuse even within families and more. But I don't have any evidence of that being a widespread thing. So I don't want to caste a wide net. But I no how some churches are able to hide this horrible stuff and get away with it.

dodgefan91 07/23/23 8:13:35 PM #15:	I highly dislike them. They ride their buggies on 55mph roads after dark and are frequently a hazard when you crest a hill to see a slow moving black object in your lane. Their horses leave shit in the road which is also a road hazard for motorcyclists. Theyre frequently hypocrites who will gladly ask to borrow your 4x4 or other technology whenever its convenient for them. They play dumb and use their perceived ignorance as an excuse to their advantage quite often. And Im only going off of my own personal experiences, so thats not to mention the numerous problems within their community. <cite>dodgefan91 posted [p:975024929] in how do you...

firedoom666 07/24/23 3:36:12 PM #23:	GranolaPanic posted... Yesterday I saw an advertisement for Amish made wooden crafts. It showed an Amish guy using an electric power saw and drill. Im confused by that. Dont their believes prevent them from using tools like that? From what I have seen it depends on the community. But there is a lot who view it as they can't use technology for personal use, but it is fine if it is strictly for business. The video I watched about it even showed how the amaish guy had a smart phone for his deli. --- We're on a journey to forever!
