Are the Amish correct in their interpretation of biblical scripture, or are they just wacky?
Originally posted by The Chess Expressit is a very literal interpretation. in fact, their view is much like that of any other christian literalist. it is the absence of things we view as necessary from their culture that is often misunderstood with strict legalism, which often leads to assumptions that they are "just wacky"
What is their interpretation?

Originally posted by Bosse de NageI known Amish all my life, My grandparents used to be Amish, and visiting OH aften, and singing in their churches I know quite a bit about them, and have allot friends who are Amish. First there are two main types, Old Order, and new Order, I dont know much about Old order exept they have allot of rules, and breaking them is a sin, No rubber, no Elastic, etc.
Er, is the Internet permitted to the Amish?
Originally posted by DoctorScribblesThe Amish, or course, are just wacky. But at least they have the good sense to realize that their wackiness is not for everyone, and so they keep it to themselves. If only the other wacky denominations of christianity were as sensible.
