Many of the Amish I crossed paths with on the train were taking it south to Mexico for medical procedures.


Medicine is perhaps the most technically advanced progress in all of human civilization.

If they restricted themselves to 1830 technology in medicine like trains they'd have a life expectancy of 45 (had to double-check that, yup 45)

Utter hypocrisy.

They can still live a simple life if they want even with technology. I feel like I do that every day. I don't even use a cellphone.

Oh that's another thing, they use cellphones for business. They keep them in sheds out of their house and check them weekly for orders and other work stuff.

Everything is a loophole with these kinds of religions except freedom for women and other diversity.
