At the point you're using this, just give up the whole non-technology non-sense.
Yea...I mean, diesel engines are allowed?!!
And air-powered tools? I guess the 5-axis CNC milled turbine inside them isn't technology...
Lol!
The Amish aren't against technology, they are against technology that they believe will change them in bad ways. About 100 years ago most Amish farmhouses had telephones. They were concerned with the negative effects it was having so they were banned.
As I understand it, the main objection to electricity is the temptation of television, a terrific time-waster that threatens their workaholic culture.
An Amish man was asked why they will use propane but not electricty. He replied, "Have you ever seen a TV set that runs on propane?"
They do use internal combustion engines, but they don't get electric service hooked up because it constitutes "being yoked to an unbeliever." There are various levels of strictness among Amish and Mennonite groups.
Their radical Christianity is similar to Calvinists like the Puritans, who have had a great influence on American history.
