I never knew that any community had such strict rules that could affect your everyday life. I can’t imagine being banned of certain colors of clothing or shoes. I can’t imagine not having electricity or air conditioning. I can’t even imagine living without a radio. How can anyone believe so strongly that they don’t progress with technology, nor help with the environment? They live a life in which I can’t understand. I life where if you do one thing that the Ordnung doesn’t support you can get shunned and everything you know of and all the people you love will never be able to communicate with you any longer. You then most live your own life. How do you go on living your life when everything has changed that drastically? You no longer have anybody to guide you, and there are completely different rules. It’s so hard for me to believe that Amish communities still exist. I know that the religion is just so strong I understand that it’s what they believe, but how can a church put rules on your life? It seems that it’s just a trap so you will not test their patience’s. A trap that makes you believe that you are going to the Devil’s world.
