Sorry for not getting back to you all sooner (some people needed bikes fixed), but i agree we need not basically forsake technology, but as i understand it, the concern of the Amish is how it will affect their Christian morality, life and its community. While we may give up TV, and choose family activities over video games, they take it further. Which is challenging in an industrialized world, and a politically correct one, as seen with Chick-Fil-a.
We need use tech for God, and the body of Christ should be as manifestly different in our worship, morality, attitude, spirit and voting, etc. as the Amish are by their dress and horse and buggy, etc.
BTW, a good video on the amish schoolhouse murders. http://www.hulu.com/watch/17789/fox-news-specials-crime-scene-the-amish-schoolhouse-murders
This is bad, very bad. Amish youths seem to be responsible for most of the crime in this country. We can’t take anymore crime.
Google Amish and birth control. They might be one of the few faiths that teach that birth control within marriage is prohibited and where most of them follow the teaching. The article didn’t even mention it.
Freegards
That was my thought, and using contraceptives by Christians has reduced the size of the kingdom of God, and will cost us.
Indeed. Which is why we need pitchfork control. Can’t be too careful you know.
