What the hell? It still counts if you benefit from technology bro. Just because you're not driving doesn't mean you're okay

Like these people thinking about pulling these loopholes in God are serious? God is gonna be like "oh you got me" not "bitch I know all of time and space, I loving know you're cheating"

In 1000 years, the Amish thrive. Using windows 98 laptops and Nokia cellphones, they live the simple life of the late 20th century man

Is this a real thing? Cause little tiny people with big beards and old timey clothes sounds like a lot of fun. You could pretend you were in Munchkin Land.

I thought most Amish had adjusted their standard to be that technology is allowed but only for practical purposes. As in, you can use tech for work but not for recreation.

Achondroplasia is autosomal dominant, it's not from inbreeding. The amish are just way, way more willing to gently caress midgets than most other groups of people.

they are all inbred as loving pugs though

they dont belive technolodgy is sin, they just have chosen to forgo it in most instances in order to not over complicate their lives because they beleive the path to rightewousness is attainable by humans and the best way to it is to keep things out of their lives that might make them feel prideful or lustful

There is a Jehovah's witness kid in my daughter's class. She doesn't attend birthday parties but does have a 'friendship party' around the time of her birthday with 'friendship presents'

Take that, god.

Also Catholics have fish on Friday because they're not supposed to have meat and fish is somehow not meat. Seafood is awesome so its not like you're abstaining from anything. Its a totally empty gesture.

You can commission pretty much any type of wooden item from the amish for a good price, friend of mine got a fine wooden computer case from them.

They also have a lot of sex, like back in the day all people on farms did was farm and gently caress. Nothing else.
