    It is just a black box. Someone sent this to me in an email awhile back.

    The Amish are an interesting folk. They are not allowed to have modern conveniences in their home like telephones but they can have one out on the pole at the end of the road.

    I see now the reason the wheels look like they are turning, it's the flicker of the candles they are using. That was real inventive of those Amish to make the best with what they had. Moosmom, it might be they are changing out the candles when you look. I'm sure if you wait long enough they will light a fresh batch.

    The trick here is to lift your left foot and then squint real hard & waa la, there are the Christmas lights. They are all sparkely.

    Yes they can not have electricity in the house. They can have it in the barn or outside the home somewhere but not in the home. So I THINK Christmas lights outside would be within the rules. although maybe that's a bit much lol




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Well, I think it is only fair then - that we decorate WOM with some Christmas lights and put him out on the lawn!

    The Amish are a strange breed truly. A strange religion that bends the rules to fit so they can make money. No electric at home but at work? How is that God's law? Just another group of people who think they know what God wants as long as it make money for them.
    Very odd. Is there a passage in the bible that says married men cannot shave?

    We've got a big community of Plymouth Brethren here where I live. The women all wear a little scarf on their heads......we've knicknamed them "Hanky Heads"
