A principle belief is that simplicity brings them closer to God. As a result, anything that might be considered a form of vanity is rejected. Acts like driving cars, having a TV, wearing makeup, having electricity and fans, are considered vanity. Too much education can be vain as well and they usually only allow their children to attend formal school until the age of 15.
