Amish

They are very community minded (Amish community). They help each other with many things, like farming and building their houses. If disaster or illness trikes one of the families, the community pitches in to help out.

The vast majority of Amish communities allow inside flush toilets. There are some notable exceptions such as the Swartzentruber Amish and the Nebraska Group in Pennsylvania. There are other communities such as Buchanan County Iowa and Adams County, Indiana that did not allow flush toilets. I know at least some, if not all of the Adams County community allows the use of indoor flush toilets. Communites not allowing the use of indoor flush toilets would make use of outhouses and chamber pots.

It appears that none of the protestant churches raise people to sainthood like the Roman Catholic church.

John Wesley, father of the Methodist movement, spoke often and wll of the "Army of Christ", saying that preachers do little, and it's the membership ofwho do the heavy lifting of beinging te world to Christ.

The Amish take this a step futher; they do not have paid ministers, nor even church buildings. They believe acts of charity must be anonymous, and believe attempts to recognize self or others as being particularly laudable are not proper. Instead, all Amish are called upon to be as saintlike as possible.

That being said, St Nick leaves gifts for the children at Christmas, and they would honor those like Mother Teresa.

Yes. The Amish are very capable of getting cancer.

Yes, their wood and coal heaters are very good.

Yes there is an Amish community near Chalmette

Yes, they will. You have to be respectful of their laws and such. Don't do anything to offend them such as:

1. Taking pictures

2. Using God's name in vain

Things like that. The Old Testament is their guide to life.

The Amish want to live simply so that they can focus on God rather than worldy gain. They want to be humble and equal with each other so that there is no jealousy or envy.

no

An Amish person is free to do what he or she wishes to do. The Amish community avoids modern technology, but they do so by choice, not due to a lack of freedom. And any member of the Amish community is also free to leave it and enter the mainstream of American culture, which some choose to do.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not practice literal circumcision for religious reasons. Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, are forbidden to circumcise as it violates the body. Mormons, Christian Scientists, and the Amish are also forbidden to circumcise or be circumcised.

Yes, they do. In fact, they need them. Cats are there to rid their barns of rats and mice and other pesky rodents, while dogs help with the hunting

In Lancaster.

YES. In 1993 an Amish man was arrested and charged with homicide:

"Gingerich captured national headlines in March 1993 when he brutally killed his wife, 29-year-old Katie.

According to police, Gingerich, who had previously been treated for severe mental health issues, attacked his wife in front of their two children, ages 3 and 5. The children stood by helplessly as their dad beat their mother so severely that his fists crushed her skull. Afterward, he undressed his wife and cut out her internal organs. When he was finished, Gingerich burned his Bible and led his children outside.

When authorities learned of Gingerich's brutal crime, he was arrested and charged with murder."

He was found guilty of other crimes as the years progressed, and in January 2011 the man committed suicide.

Yes, they are American citizens. Yes, they vote. Yes, they pay taxes.

The Ananaptists later became the Mennonites, Amish, German Baptist, Hutterites and other groups such as the Charity groups. Today they still hold to the teachings of the early church spending a great deal of time in study and living as closely as humanly possible to the teachings of the holy bible.

The Amish are not allowed to use watches. They are a functional item but threaten the values of community togetherness (this is usually a value that items are checked against when bishops discuss its allowance). Watches are a way for Amish individuals to check the time, and as such, support "rush" and hurry. These contradict the value of Gelassenheit, which encourages yielding and a slow lifestyle. Reflection has nothing to do with the item. In fact Amish individuals are allowed to own mirrors in their homes, they are just usually fewer and smaller.

It depends on the region and the choice of the farmer as well as whether they are affiliated with a particular company such as Clover Farms, Green Giant, etc. Many grow corn, soybeans, and tobacco, but they often grow smaller crops of other plants and they also often have orchards or flower gardens as well.

they could make fun of them, also there are more mainstream than amish people.

Most of the Amish have some kind of Money. If you didn't have to pay taxes for roads and you didn't need to pay electric bills, water bills, and some other bills that other people have due to want.

I usually cut my loaves into 12 slices each meaning that each slice is about 225 calories.

Without the nuts it would be about 199 calories per slice.

Mennonites observe Ascension Day in many different ways. Some congregations have worship services in the morning, others in the evening, or not at all. Some Mennonites avoid working on Ascension Day, but will take site seeing trips or go visiting friends and relatives. Others work on Ascension Day and do not observe it. The decision on how to observe the day is usually left up to the particular congregation or family.
