ExiledInIllinois Posted July 29, 2010 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 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?
BuffaloBill Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Soon they will control all available farmland - it is a plot to starve out the rest of us

BuffaloBill Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Doesn't Ted Turner, and Robt. Redford and other Hollywood actors already own most of Montana and Wyoming? Maybe they'll bcome Amish in order to join the plot

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.

I suppose there may also be degrees of conservatism involved.

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!
