AMISH : Orang apa nier? Tak faham.

sya_sugar_sugar

The Amish, (IPA pronunciation: [ɑmɪʃ])
are an Anabaptist Christian denomination found primarily in the United States and Ontario, Canada,
that are known for their restrictions
on the use of modern devices such as automobiles and electricity and for their mode of dress.

The Amish separate themselves from mainstream society for religious reasons:
they do not join the military,
draw no Social Security (and are exempted by law from paying Social Security taxes),
nor accept any form of financial assistance from the government,
and many avoid insurance.

Most speak a German dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch (or Pennsylvania German),
which the Amish call Deitsch.
The Amish are divided into dozens of separate fellowships,
which are each broken down in turn into districts or congregations.
Each district is fully independent and has its own Ordnung, or set of unwritten rules.
This article primarily discusses the conservative Old Order Amish fellowships
that observe strict regulations on dress, behavior, and the use of technology.

There are many New Order Amish and Beachy Amish groups that use electricity and automobiles,
but still consider themselves Amish.

yelah kita ni tak berapa "celik" & cerdik...)

These traditional groups wear plain clothing styles,
which has earned them the name "Plain People".
It is the simple, peaceful lifestyle of these plain people that attracts such a curiosity today.

Ermm ni ada info sikit.....

dpt masa surf tadi...

The farmlands of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country are among the most productive in the nation. But many of the farmers here are different from most Americans; different by choice. For these are the Old Order Amish and Mennonites, also known as the "Plain People".

Our Amish neighbors have been employing horse-drawn power since the days when horsepower had a whole different meaning! In comparison to our fast-paced society, the simpler, family-centered Amish way of life holds a special fascination.

These people trace their heritage back hundreds of years, and yet, despite all the time that has passed and the many changes that have taken place in society, they still live and work much as their forefathers did. Their families and their farms are their top priorities, second only to God.

The Amish are very devout in their faith. They believe in the literal interpretation and application of Scripture as the Word of God. They take seriously the Biblical commands to separate themselves from the things of the world. They believe worldliness can keep them from being close to God, and can introduce influences that could be destructive to their communities and to their way of life.

Today there are over 25 different Amish, Mennonite, and Brethren church groups in Lancaster County, all holding to slightly different traditions and their own interpretations of the Bible. The more traditional groups are called 'old order'. They do not permit electricity or telephones in their homes. By restricting access to television, radio, and telephones, the Amish are better able to keep the modern world from intruding into their home life.

The Amish have long preferred farming as a way of life. They feel their lifestyle and their families can best be maintained in a rural environment. While they do not permit the use of tractors in their fields, these old order Amish groups do use modern farm equipment pulled by teams of horses or mules.

These old order groups do not own or operate automobiles, believing that cars would provide easier access to the ways of the world. You will often see their horses and buggies on our local roads.

These traditional groups wear plain clothing styles, which has earned them the name "Plain People". It is the simple, peaceful lifestyle of these plain people that attracts such a curiosity today. Many wonder how these people can survive in their supposedly backward ways. Well, they're not only surviving - they're thriving. Since 1960, the Amish population in Lancaster County has almost tripled.

Their separation from the rest of society actually helps to strengthen their community. Amish children attend Amish one-room schoolhouses through the eighth grade. Amish worship services are held every other week in one of the member's homes. Socializing is an important part of Amish life.

The Amish have a strong sense of community spirit, and often come to the aid of those in need. Their barn raisings are a good example. Neighbors freely give of their time and their skills to help one another.

The Amish are generally private people and often find all the attention and curiosity about their lifestyle disturbing. They believe that the taking of photographs where someone is recognizable is forbidden by the Biblical prohibition against making any 'graven image'. Please respect their desire for privacy when visiting here.

dorg ni org kristian gak...xder ap yg beza nyer cume dorg amalkan hebrew bible cm jews...
klu org kristian laen...especially catholic,dorg juz accept hebrew bible tu sebagai old testament...
atau juz sokongan utk new testament...tp segala hukum-hakam kt kitab yahudi tu org kristian catholics anggap
dah dimansuhkan...so juz baca2 utk pengajaran jer la...

tp byk gk mazhab2 kristian yg amalkan hebrew bible...kt msia pn ader...cm mazhab SDA kt sabah n s'wak..
tp depends on some level la..
