Amish

It means marrying someone outside your own kind.

Pennsylvania Dutch refers to the Amish, Mennonite, and those who also have a Pennsylvania dutch heritage, but may not be a part of the Amish or Mennonite community.

No, there is only a TV commerical trying to sell electric heaters inside of wooden frames that look like a fireplace. They did not invent any of the components. Actually, if you check into the fireplaces, they are actually not very good at heating a small room.

It is a parody of Coolio's 'Gangsta's Paradise'.

as little as they can! they preferr to keep their money in their family and the older bosses will get all they can from you!

Bush passed a law that let child workers work in the woodshops so long as they did not operate dangerous machinery and adults were supervising.

Yes. A 1972 Supreme Court ruling exempted the Old Order sects from compulsory attendance laws beyond the eighth grade.

They feel that the simpler their lives are and the more in touch they are with God and nature, the better. Modern, materialistic, and prideful activities and possessions do not appeal to their way of life so they don't use anything gaudy in their attire. In fact, they stay clear of using buttons and zippers and usually use pins or hidden clasps on their clothing. The simple, solid colors also reflect their desire to keep the focus on what truly matters in life, which to them is definitely not how fashion-forward their clothing is.

they have labor jobs

They disapprove of killing. "Vengeance is mine, saith the lord."

Incidentally, the Methodists disapprove of the death penalty as well - but they fought to make elective abortion legal. Why other churches think a human life is precious before birth, but undeserving of life once it is born, is probably a better question.

The people called "Pennsylvania Dutch" were settlers from Germany that set up homesteads in eastern and central Pennsylvania. The word for German is Deutsch, so when people asked them were they were from, the English heard 'Dutch' and assumed they were from Holland, e.g. English speaking folks thought they said "Dutch".

The uniform is one of the methods of Scouting, but it is not mandatory. This should be discussed with the unit leadership.

Yes if you go to one of the Amish bed and breakfast, Amish try profit from people interested in experiencing, second hand their Amish Society.

My half sister went to a Amish bed and breakfast, for her honeymoon with her present ex husband now, they said it was a good place to get away from hassle of life but their interaction with Amish was limited.

You can look for Amish bed and breakfast, like you do any other as they or some else advertise for them, I suggest using Internet to look up ones in your area.

If your looking just to hang around a community for a week, it is not going to happen unless your serious in joining, even then they are not going to let you just drop in and hang around for week, as they are a private people that limit their interaction with outside society.

Not all Amish people have to be white. This is because some other people can be adopted or converted into the Amish way of life.

The Amish people fled Germany about 300 years ago to escape religious persecution. Martin Boehm is generally credited with leading the emmigration, if I remember my reading correctly, and settled in what is now the Lancaster/York area of Pennsylvania. (I could not find a relationship between him and Rev John Philip Boehm who came over about the same time to what eventually became Bethlehem.) As the German language developed, and the religion became more lenient, the Pennsylvania Deutsch grew further and further from its roots. Note that all PA Dutch were not Amish, but the dividing lines are very grey.

It depends on what kind your looking for. All the ones I've seen range from $5-10.

Amish are less likely than your average American to call the police. They believe in turning the other cheek. They will get the police involved for something serious like a murder.

They go to school till 8th grade.

The Amish choose not to embrace technological innovations like electricity and the Internet. The Amish lifestyle avoids any conformity to the ways of the modern world and it's culture. A reliance on electricity (and definitely use of the internet) signifies a conformation.

Giver:

- use high technology ' why? because they can control the people's sight, their weather and they are all the same.

- they have no memorizes and they would never feel very strong feelings of anything.

Amish:

just control their freedom and their sense of fashion.

Yes and no, depending on what you mean?

A Amish community is ruled as a single sect, with the Ordnung rules apply to all members the same, but seldom happens perfectly.

But a community can be made up by any number of plain members, from any type of group including Mennonite, but all must conform to that sects current Ordnung regardless of previous allowable or non allowable technology or behavior.

No, but because of persecution many Amish immigrated to the united states during the 1700's and a second wave of immigration in the 1850's. Most of the Amish coming to america in the 1850's did not remain amish and began to identify with the Mennonite. Two exceptions this are the Swiss Amish communites located in Berne and Adams Counties in Indiana. The amish themselves have their roots in switzerland in the late 1600's.
