I am Amish
Ok. I was born Amish in East Surrey. We attended a Strict Baptist chapel. Not quite Amish but close. I ended up living with my grandparents in Brynaman. I now live close by on a farm. I'm in college doing Art.

@FairyGirlGemma The world is full of stereotypes. It's why we "hate" Muslims. Who just bring up their children in a right and proper way.

[quote]They don't allow telephones or electricity in their houses, because both of these technologies would literally connect them to the world through their wires. Electricity and petrol/diesel power are used in barns for work purposes. Shared telephones are available outside houses in business premises or telephone booths.
Televisions, radios and stereos are not used, which helps keep the Amish unpolluted by the values advanced by the mass media. One Old Order Amish told the scholar Donald B Kraybill that "television is the sewer line that connects you directly to the cesspool of Hollywood". As with other technologies there is a compromise - listening to someone else's radio or watching the TV in a hotel might well be accepted.
For similar reasons, computers with internet access are banned, although Amish can use a computer at an outside workplace.
They don't use cameras because photos break the biblical ban on making 'graven images' (Exodus 20:4)[/quote]

@SW-User You are so right. They are told to keep 2 metres apart. And then they are three heads together!

@Adstar The last one seems to have removed herself. It is not my intention to change people's minds. Just be open and honest about who I am. In the hope of finding someone who is Similar in this World.

@LilirWyddfa As i said it is up to you to decide on what course of action to take with those trolls.. But you are going to have to start blocking a few in here if you are not looking to defend or promote the Word of god in here..
If your just looking for like minded people then so be it.. Nothing wrong with that.. May you be blessed in your search. 👍️
