Just so long as they don't become dependent upon technology and/or lose their generational knowledge of how to live without it, incorporating some tech is not a bad idea (probably). Even this Amish farmer, Amos Miller, who was harassed by the PA government thugs over his milk products has a website, online ordering, etc. I'm not versed in the distinctions and particulars regarding their faith and cultural rules, but I'm assuming, since Amish Mr Miller has a website for his farm products, that he's at least interfacing with a Mennonite or even mainstream Christian who can make use of the technology. It may be that they can utilize Mennonites as a middleman between non-technological Amish and the public at large.
I know what you mean by "don't do it". I feel as if they're one of the last bulwarks against complete societal collapse - and would be among the pioneers who could lead a broken world back to stability in such an event.
Exactly. It’s a bit too close to getting integrated with this mess.
I’m not sure what their theology is, but it’s probably better too.
In my area there is an old order Amish-owned store/bakery/restaurant but the workers are all Mennonite so they can use electricity, card readers, etc., in the store.
Yep. There are a few specifics that could be quibbled on, but a lot of their specifics seem spot on.
