I like Amish people

This community is fastest growing community in USA. They are very nice people and I like them.

I just want to know if somebody here has experience of meeting Amish guys/ girls ?

I want to know what are the entertainment avenues in their lifestyle.

Re: I like Amish people

They get the opportunity to come out in to the world in the late teens to experience “life” … many return home swearing to a life style of farm and frolic in a time warped setting. Very religious Christians … and it appears they see everyone else as “the other” … i.e. not very inclusive. However they have good manners and are very civil.

Fastest growing is a deceptive word … fastest as a percentage of original population is quite high because they have a low overall population … For example if a population of 20 people have grown by 10 people that is a 50% growth, on the other hand if a population of 20,000 has grown by 5,000 people although this figure is 4,990 more than the previous it is still only 25% growth.

Amish also have large families … but to this day I don’t know where they get their “cash” from … ???

**i’m surrounded by Amish communities just on the outskirts of my city’s limits. they come to town in buggies. it’s hilarious to see a buggy N horse park alongside car parks on the grounds of thrice weekly farmer’s market. they are a very peace-loving people and a very loving N caring as well.

here are some pictures for you:**

Thankyou KKF for these pictures. These are so amusing :slight_smile:

So Amish are your neighbours… Interesting !

Have you ever attended any of their community functions ? How girls and guys mingle outside of community. I think crimes are almost none existent.

Do they allow BF / GF relationships to their teenagers like outside world ?

Yes, They are growing in numbers; as per data available on internet. I don’t know if they attract much outsiders or not. Just found their reference in sitcom and movies. Then I saw a documentary on their lifestyle. They earn cash by selling crops, dairy and making furnitures. They have very limited expenditures, so generally they should be well off.
