| Explaining the Amish Way of Life - VOA Story |
 |
Not far from the hustle and bustle of city
life live the Amish of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. These deeply religious people
shun the conveniences of modern society to
live a simpler life where transportation is a
horse and buggy and horsepower really means
horsepower.
The Amish are very devout and take seriously
the biblical commands to separate themselves
from the things of the world including
electricity. Power comes from propane,
kerosene, wood, coal, or natural gas.
As the world around the peaceful farmland
changes, so have some of the traditions of
the Amish. Transportation is no longer
limited to horse-drawn buggies. "There is a
division among the Amish over the automobile.
One group got automobiles, another group kept
the horse and buggy. we just simply name them
old order -- drive the horse and buggy, and
the new order -- drive the automobiles. They
have electric, they have meeting houses and
they don't have green shades."
But many traditions remain. Amish children
attend one-room schoolhouses through grade
eight and farming is the mainstay of Amish
life. There are normally two horses on a farm
for buggies. Several mules are kept for
farming. Milking is one of the most important
sources of income on the farm.
Many Amish leaders believe their separation
from the outside world strengthens their
community. And that community is thriving.
Despite what many on the outside would
describe as a backwards lifestyle, the Amish
population in Lancaster County has almost
tripled over the past half century.

Wierd Al vid-Do I Creep You Out- is out!(It
is posted as vid response)Please check it
out!
As I walk through the valley where I harvest
my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's
very plain
But that's just perfect for an amish like me
You know I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the mornin' I'm milking cows
Jedidiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows!
And I've been milking and plowing so long
that
Even Ezekiel thinks That my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land
I'm into discipline
Gotta bible in my hand And a beard on my chin
And If I finish all of my chores and you
finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's
1699!
We've been spendin' most our lives
Living in an amish Paradise
I've churned butter once or twice living in
an Amish Paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish Paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish Paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him
And I turned the other cheek
I really don't care in fact I wish him well
Cuz I'll be laughing my head off
When he's burnin' in Hell!
I ain't never punched a tourist
Even if he desreved it
An Amish with a tude?
You Know thats unheard of!
I never wear buttons
But I gotta cool hat
And my homies agree
I really look good in black FOOL!
If you come to visit
You'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill
In 300 years!
But we ain't really quaint
So please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired
There's no phones no lights no motorcars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinon Crusoe
We're as primitive as can be
We've been spending most our lives Living in
an Amish Paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish Paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish Paradise
We don't fight we all play nice
Living in an Amish Paradise!
Hitchin' up the Buggy
Churnin' Lots a butter
Raised a barn on Monday
Soon I'll raise another
Think your really righteous?
Think your pure at heart?
Well I know i'm a million times as
Humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes
wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for
the afterlife!
So don't be vain, and don't be whiny
Or else my brother I might have to get
medieval on your hiny!
We've been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish Paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish Paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish Paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish Paradise
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
uuuh uhhh YUCK!

There's a place in Ohio where people live in
simpler times. No traffic jams, limited
technology. It's a place where family comes
first. Our Ohio travels to Holmes County to
experience the world's largest Amish
community.

I shot this footage while working on my first
Amish Feature Documentry, Welcome to Amish
America. When an Amish lady jokingly asked me
for $50 for taking her picture. Since that
time I have won many awards for my Amish
programs.These programs are copyrighted and
