Well, it's not impossible. There are two kinds of Amish communities, the Old Order, which is EXTREMELY hard to get in, and the New Order, which is much easier. But still, it is extremely hard for outsiders to become Amish. You have to walk away from all the conveniences, such as TV, computers, telephones...even a radio! You must learn to speak German, and talk to the bishop on joining the community. Even after you have a farm in the Amish community, you will still suffer from the suspicions of most of the Amish people. They will not trust you at first, but if you prove your faith to the church, you will soon be accepted into the Amish community. In all, you must be patient, kind, and have complete faith in God. Good luck!
