ExiledInIllinois Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I just went to Shipshewana, Indiana... They have quite a racket going there! Amish themed indoor water park, 7 dollar buggy rides... You can't even raise the blinds in the hotel: looks out onto a farm! BTW, Shipshewana is the only place in Indiana on the "1,000 places to see before you die" list...

Beerball Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 How do you suppose the Amish scout out places in Mexico? That's one hellacious buggy ride. Are they granted 'dispensation' so that they can hop on a jet or train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Soon they will control all available farmland - it is a plot to starve out the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they granted 'dispensation' so that they can hop on a jet or train? They take regular transportation... I don't think they own it though... Actually... I was shocked to see one open buggy had regular car/automobile bucket seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there may also be degrees of conservatism involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there may also be degrees of conservatism involved. it depends of their church/community. there's a lot of different "grades" in the mennonites/amishes communities some have cars/phones living almost like everybody else, others don't even accept members with the wrong barb cut or shirt collar!
