Reformed/Puritan Town Building?

Did not read the whole thread...but I can say this....too many assumptions about the Amish.

They don't live in a separate world. They go to walmart, lowe's, etc. They work with rednecks and puerto ricans on work crews, "own" cell phones, and have a great sense of humour. Can I tell you about the rap playing buggies with glowing runner lights at 3am on Sunday night?

They are not isolated...just a sub-culture. Something we can be as well. Be honest, hardworking, live your faith, share your faith. Avoid garbage. BTW, I enjoy the Anabaptist stores as well...they enjoy a cheap deal as well as quality...and no "gotta turn that one around" magazines at the checkout counters.

Well, thanks a lot. You just shattered one of my favorite long-held stereotypes.

I'd love to get the rap playing buggies on video, though!

Hey, that was #1000!

Time to go to bed...
