Not sure which Amish you describe. Around here, we get along very nicely. Why, we have even eaten together in the same kitchen.
I've spent time amongst both segments and even thought about becoming mennonite, but as kind as they are, I could sense that I would never fully be one of them because I was no born amongst them.
WHy did I sense this?
Various reasons, but the largest reason was I watched other families that had become mennonite, and had been for some time, and it was subtle, but obvious that they were not fully mennonite.
