I bought my dog from Amish people in Indiana. I consider them to be Famish (fake Amish)....They have cars, computers and zippers, they're fake Amish in my book. Good people. Great dog. I'm not complaining :seasix: |

Unlike the Amish, Mennonites are not prohibited from using motorized vehicles. In addition, Mennonites are also allowed to use electricity and telephones in their homes. When it comes to their beliefs, the Amish and Mennonite faiths are very similar. The differences lie mainly in the outward practice of those beliefs. |
Nope. They leave me alone and I leave them alone excepting that one time I went into their furniture store and bought a wooden 30 gallon bag sized trash basket for the kitchen. The thing is oak, 20 years old, and still working as intended. Pass them on the roads quite a bit in the Summer when I travel outside town. Always very cautious when passing and usually give them a wave.

I see them often at the local shopping center, at least one in the group has a cell phone and they drive around in work trucks or cargo vans. |

Don't know any. Where I grew up, it was a short drive to a little amusement park called "Dutch Wonderland", which is still operating today. When we got there, the whole place was lousy with those buggies.
I haven't been there in around 50 years, but back then, if you got off the highway and drove around a little, you couldn't help but trip over a farm stand or two. I remember the tomatos we used to get there! |
None over this way...

Around here, peepers with ritzy homes may hire the Amish to remove trees, cuz their horses won't destroy their woodlot like a skidder will.
They use chainsaws too. :eek: |

Not any Amish, but I did a small project with a Mennonite farmer in Upstate NY one time. His wife was a midwife and had an old Ford wagon with a zillion miles on it. In their kitchen they had pictures of all their grown children, all fine looking men and women. Very admirable folk.

Do Amish people use the internet?

Too bad the anti-Christian media/culture has trashed them, causing many people to believe that they are bad and/or evil. |
After living around and having dealings with both Amish and Mennonite in the past…..
Amish = Good, hard working, honest people. Mennonite = Amish “light” people who have no issue taking advantage of anyone they can. I actually had a barn build quote from a Mennonite team that was 3x anyone’s else. Well, “it’s Amish built, so it’s higher quality” was the reply when questioned. :rofl: |
