First off there are about as many variations of "Amish" as Carters had liver pills. What a group in Kentucky or Nebraska does may be entirely different than what a group on the NY/Ontario border does. We have the Schwartzentruber Amish here, the old style strictest type. Guess what? It turns out they are all, every last one of them, just people with all the same faults and merits of every other person. "Cult"?!! If the Amish are a "cult" then what is the Catholic Church or any other church that has rules and moral/ethical guidelines? For that matter, what are we with our worship of consumerism?
Anyway, the Amish around me come on good and bad and they buy farms the BTO's would never look at- the small, rocky, brushed over little places that supported a family 50-75 years ago but that haven't been farmed in 40 years. They bust their backs and make it pay. They get financing from their form of a credit union- the local church they belong to. If they fail, and fail horribly, the "credit union" will put someone else on the land. It's just about like we do it, minus the lawyers and bankers taking their cut.
I'd much rather have Amish for neighbors than more meth heads and welfare trash.
