Could you make it if you were forced to go Amish?

Sure. I grew up with no electricity or running water.

@Munumbis Your parents were part of a lost and self absorbed generation. It is genuinely worthy of respect that you survived it and moved on. I may not agree with some of the conclusions you drew from the experience. But credit where it is due.😷

@Munumbis I say that's a pretty good story of your life you should write down. Your one rare less then few 1000 got see and live that life in modern times

I would call that a badge of honor and be proud that you came out of it in one pixel

Our local newspaper as an ad in the paper to bring new members in to their church

@HumanEarth Several farms near where my Dad lives have been bought by Amish families, would not surprise me to see same there
HumanEarth · F
Amish bought this modern farm house across the road from me and they tore it down for the land

The house was like 30 or 40 years old
did that kind of work as a kid. but we were not Amish, just poor,

@HumanEarth beautiful corn,

Well, if you are forced to do something to survive, then yes, I could.

But I am too damned old to go without my AC and creature comforts let alone changing my entire wardrobe, and making 13 kids at the same time, so Hell No! I'd rather move into your barn and take pond baths and hose showers!

i think so
The pace of life would put your mind at ease

It wouldn't be pleasant but yes, I could make it.
antonioio · 70-79, M

There are Amish communities around where I grew up. So I'm somewhat familiar with them. I could live like that if I had to, but I definitely would not want to.

Not a fan of the Amish culture tbh
Easily, but they would never accept me.
For a couple of weeks, maybe...

@candycane we have an Amish family that drives the horse and carriage around. I haven't met them just waved to them when I see them

We came very, very close to becoming Mennonite in the early 2000s

No thank you
Not Amish, but maybe something else.
HumanEarth · F
Mennonite, German Baptist, Hutterites, Bruderhof, Beachy Amish, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, Old Believers, Conservative Laestadians, Shakers, Rappites, Oneida, Nomadelfia, Anabaptist, or something else
