How do the Amish handle money? Amish kids have piggybanks? Are there Amish banks that offer cash services?
Will find out:) their food is the best
Source, please?😁
A casual internet search seems to indicate that, while the Amish eschew debt as a general rule, they do ( perhaps foolishly, as all of us who have been ensnared in the system) use banks.
The sooner all of our communities begin using ⚡ Lightning instead, the better off we'll all be!😁
Source is me talking to Amish IRL :)
I've been very curious on the Amish lifestyle for a long time now , I've tried a lot of their recipes - pies, butter (by those who leave or who live by), read Amish related stories on Rumpspriga, Englisher etc , and all Hallmark movies
The last two lines - hilarious 😂
Yea totally amazing these guys. On our family farm we have had Amish build my dad’s mining building, mom’s greenhouse and then a friggin wooden bridge you can drive a car over.
Yea, I can’t imagine live without access to modern technology, not even a fridge but they have such fine skills in everything they make that’s core and authentic - and it’s robust and incredible.
they do well and are on it but some things bizarre
Lol. I think Amish by culture is a very close society without access to electricity, modern vehicles and communication - hence not often easy to get information. Everything that’s written is by someone visiting them or some who left or informations like this that’s passed on.
Yah we have path in :) in midmo
Trying to get the Collins on Nostr. Was trying to find a clip for you to show you that they have insider research from them, but alas. You can listen to their audio book "Pragmatist guide to crafting a religion". They have a podcast on substack but you can wait for it to come out on fountain to zap em there. What would you like to know about the Amish?
nostr:npub1awupfd2es6uaaqm6v4pwrcxk9s0mw64u55k0lmr22wgvt5zrp8vsv4547s can you offer any sources or specific things for these peeps interested in the value Amish can bring to their world? I already mention your book on crafting religion.
