I like them as well. Been to Amish Country many a time, just a few hours for me.
Hubby works with them a lot as well making the cabinets for custom homes.
They are very hard working and talented.
But the beard thing is part of their religion, that is how you can tell if a man is married, once married he is not allowed to shave.
I don't understand where in the bible it says one can have electricity at work but not at home, enjoy modern medicine at hospitals such as the ones in Akron, Ohio but not allow women to go about without a hanky on their head.
Yes they are forgiving and peace loving. Staying amounst themselves peacefully and living off the land.
Except when they are huge puppy mill owners in PA. To them a puppy is like an ear of corn, something to make money off of.
They are just filled with so much gobbly poo religion wise just like the rest of society I guess.
Which makes them no better or no worse then the rest of us except for their cooking which is really good homestlye.
