Tominator Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 How come Amish don't have electricity for refrigeration, but they can utilize propane fired compressors and achieve refrigeration that way? Seems to be an inherent contradiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be an inherent contradiction. excellent question Chris. i simply do not know the answer to that one....i guess they feel electricty connected to a power station is wrong....i was in an Amish home not to long ago and went to use the bathroom, reached over and flipped the lightswitch on. that place was wired man....but it all ran off of battery/ generator.....

Guest Andrea Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I didn't think it was electrical stuff as much as it was "modern conveniences". So those folks with generators and cell phones aren't TRUE to their beliefs. What's with the beards but no mustaches??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yoders_hideaway Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Is it true that if you own land and they are from your same county they have permission to hunt on your ground? Do some amish park vehicles at a neighbors house and then drive their buggies to access these vehicles? After they access their vehicles are they known to stop by a liquor store? Do the amish have any divorces? Why will they ride in a vehicle but not drive one? Why do they take 3 days off @ work for church @ their house on sunday? Do they feel like their horses don't damage blacktop roads? Do they follow sports? Whats the difference in watching a game @ home or your house? Do they gamble? Do they smoke?
