I've lived around the Amish. They got some hot women. But they always seem cold.
I have a few funny Amish stories to tell.

The Amish population is growing. By some estimates there are 300,000 in the United States, and the birthrate is very high: the population doubles roughly every generation.
...
That’s something to think about, compared to the rest of American society.

I passed by an young amish man in a buggy by himself. I could tell by the phone in his hands, and his head down that he was texting.

There are similar groups, who differ in (for example) how much tech they use, e.g., Menonites, Brethren, and such.

It is my understanding that the bishop of each Amish group determines the extent of modernity, some being more liberal than others.

—Heard from someone I know that he bought a quilt at an Amish store and didn’t quite have all the cash needed. He was told they accepted credit cards. Wait, how would it be processed? With one of those old devices where you put the card in, put in a piece of carbon paper, and move it right to left and back.
—With a friend, I visited the Amish Door restaurant in Wilmot, OH (now part of a whole “village” I think). Two signs the buffet-style restaurant was Amish—no booze, and not open on The Lord’s Day, Sunday.

Are we talking about Feral Amish or Amish Amish? Both it seems, yet not feral as in "Wild and menacing" but as in non-conformity to Amish non-conformity.

They come down on buses. One of the waitresses told us theyâre allowed to ride in cars but not drive them. I think i have read that also. The judgments on such are determined by whether such would foster that which is contrary to the principle of devotion to God and family.

Never heard of this guy before. Iâm kind of leery of him. He posits himself as an expert of sorts, while primarily regurgitating information that is readily available on the internet. I guess I have seen too many of these self styled experts on the Amish. Thereâs also an entire subculture of Amish âposersâ out there. They even change their online names to Amish names. Itâs not just a game to them, they are dead serious about it. I have a fake facebook account that is devoted to keep an eye these people after one of them tried to scam some of my friends. Thanks for the heads up. But i cannot sanction a fake facebook. I do not like Facebook anyway, and only have an account in case i need it, but rarely activate it.

I should correct that — they come down on vans. Mostly Ford E-150s.

It is a somewhat fine distinction, however.

“One county in Ohio is poised to become the first majority Amish county in the US by 2020.”
Which one?
I wonder what an Amish county government would look like.

Another of their unusual beliefs, and observing them you can take not of this:
The Amish believe that when a man marries, the Bible requires him to grow a beard. If they’re clean-shaven, they’re still single.
I’ve also read that the single women wear black apron “overdresses” while th married women wear white ones. But the women at the market all wear black, and I know at least one or two are married.
