Not really, they weird asf, you wanna get "ShUNnED"for having a doll with a face as a kid? Riding a bike? Taking a photo or video? Doing anything "wOrLDLY" basically existing will get you banished from Baptism and you go to hell. No phones, no cars, no paintings on the wall, must have a neck beard, can't shave. So lame bruh. Must wear long sleeve shirt and many more stupid rules and if u don't follow them u go to hell and get shunned and disowned by everyone

Thanks for the tour of Lancaster county! I’ve lived in the county for about 70 years and you pointed out a few places I never visited like the pretzel stand. From my experience with the Amish, I find them honest, hard working and loyal people. They live and work with the “English” society but maintain a barrier so as to preserve their simple life. Good people.

Thanks for that insightful tour, Lea. I think the North American sugar industry has a deal with most food manufacturers to add sugar to most things they sell. I'm surprised it has hit Amish products too. You'll find a lot of products you get in Europe are much sweeter here. However that was a great tour. Didn't know about that cloister sect you mentioned. Happy and safe riding.

They left the Air Force after one enlistment and settled there in Lancaster County.....and started having babies!!! I'm not sure how many but at least 6 or 7....or more! Such a sweet couple, who are actually Mormon and not Amish. That part of Pennsylvania reminds me A LOT of the Rheinland Pfalz area of Germany....where I spent almost half of my Air Force career. It's no wonder why I love both places so much.......so beautiful.
