I have Amish communities within 50 miles from where I live. We visit there twice a year for good food and products. They don’t even have electricity in their homes. They don’t drive cars, but will take a ride from us “Anglish”.
saw a Documentary on the Amish couple years ago ,and theres different factions of the amish,hard core /no power/no gas no tractors ,only buggies/ mules Etc,and there's ones with tv/phones/ power Etc,the full gammet of lifestyles and religious beliefs.
Sorry, but you are wrong. Many Amish use electricity/phones,; they just have the wires running underground or have the phone in their shed or place of business/barn. I know. I worked for the Dept of Labor and did several investigations of them for serious violations of child labor laws.

When I was on a road trip to the east coast, I saw them in their buggies.

The ones that use power are Mennonites.
