lived among the amish 9 years
takes time to buuild trust and relations
they are NOT aq cult
they live simply with self sufficiency according to scripture
each group of about 20-30 families has its own rules
many differences among groups
be patient and get to know them thru commerce - buying produce and hiring for jobs
they are almost all reliable buit the ones that are not just call them out and they will repent
if they do not inform the local bishop politely
they will cooperate and appreciate the respect
be modest around them they are not used to bold direct brash conduct
when we finally moved we had relations better than any family i ever had
wonderful people they are
