Also think about this. Amish are the way they are because they don’t want to live in a modern world with modern conveniences. But then, when they decided that, kerosene and whatever inventions of the time (mid-1800) were the modern equivalent of what we have today and they use that as their base ... so in a way, isn’t that hypocritical???
I don’t know if they follow this line of thinking or not . . . I’ve read that some folks think electricity is a satanic substitute for Holy Spirit.
Kerosene is probably seen as a fairly natural element for use like wax in candles.
I really don’t know, however.
