We Need An Amish DIR.

[Revoltingest]

The Amish DIR officially exists as an invitation to participate.

How do I know this?
I don't.

All the same, to the best of my knowledge you are correct.

If I recall correctly, the ordnung allows use of modern technology, but warns against owning it yourself.
Amish can take taxis, or use computers in non-Amish workplaces, they just shouldn't own a car, or a computer...
And many will own a phone, for emergencies, our already have access to one, I should say.
But whatever, as long as they keep making their awesome chocolate, I couldn't care less!
Strongly recommend it, if you've never been to am Amish town.

Maybe we should make you our ambassador to the Amish.

Lol. I work about 25 min from a fairly large Amish colony, we stop by there maybe a couple times a year for chocolates, or quilts and the like.

Only reason I know anything about them.

..nice people, though.
Though I'll admit, the only reason I knew the word rumspringa was from the movie Sex Drive, and I think an episode of Bones....

What goes "clippety-clop, clippety-clop, bang-bang, cloppety-clip, cloppety-clip"?

An Amish drive-by shooting.

If the Amish do come, you keep away from them. I don't want them scared off.

I bet an Amish person with internetz would be hard to scare.

I think they might find this dawdy friendlier than thee, English!

....which will not be frequented by Amish people given that they are not allowed to use computers.
at least, not officially

They had a schism not too long ago. Many around here have started using motor vehicles (one business owner has a RV), LED light bulbs, gas to heat and cook with, telephones, power tools and even some electricity which includes computers.

Amish people use technology. It's a misconception that none of them don't use any modern technology at all. Amish people aren't exactly a rarity in my area. I saw a group of them downtown a couple weeks ago. I don't understand how they could wear all those clothes in the brutal heat of that day.
