One, two free, floor!
While I wouldn't want their lifestyle (minimal technology etc) I have to admire them - yes. Anyone that practices what they preach gets my respect.
Except those that preach hatred and death to all.

To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

you are shitting me right ???I haven't told the half of it. Can you imagine the (former Amish) Marine (he got really upset when I called him "ex-marine" once) in IT business?
But seriously, I probably should have mentioned that the guy grew up in the Amish community in Ohio, then left home at some stage, joined the Corps, served in Vietnam and Japan, then got discharged and went to the IT business. Builds Shaker furniture at spare time. Amazing dude, I respect him enormously.

I loved that movie about the Amish with Harrison Ford in it.. can't remember the name of it atm. But they seem like lovely people, who just go about their lives not harming others and taking care of their own.

Yep, that's what he said.

I don't under stand why they choose to live like that specific time? At that time people wernt "old fashiond" they were living up to the mod cons of the time, why did they choose that time rather than 100 years before that...
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
Aargh, photos!

I don't know where you got that info from but the Amish are a Christian sect who believe the Bible and practise the New Testament:

I was completely shocked to hear the news of the shootings the other day, very very sad. I'm glad you're all impressed with the way they are handling this tragedy, as am I, but I have no doubt that that community will be hurting for some time to come even though they may be showing few signs outwardly.
LOOK.. ZOMBIES!
i stand corrected Zed..
they dont buy into the judgment and hatred that the mainstream faiths do.. THAT statement i stand behind
Forum whore
They don't choose to live any specific "time". They just choose not to clutter their lives up with stuff they don't actually need. And base them instead on what does matter.
Rejecting (or rather, ignoring) irrelevant stuff makes them appear to be oldfashioned, but they are not consciously anachronistic.
Very good people indeed. They meet the classic definition of a Christian - a lantern through which God's love shines out.
