Are you Amish?

[Pudfark]

Would you like to be? Old Pudfark is thinking about starting an "Online Internet Amish Ministry".....

I want everybody to know that it has nuthin to do with the exemption that will be granted under the forthcoming Federal Health Care Mandate for those of the Amish persuasion....

There is only one rule.....Ya have to want to be a "true believer".....
Members will receive a wallet size I.D. suitable for laminating...and a 8"x11" membership document glossy (suitable for framing) attesting to their feverent belief in "Self Health"...

Old Pudfark sez: "Keep the faith"

[callmeslick]

as one who lives in Amish, and Old Order Mennonite, country(both will be exempted, for religious reasons),
trust me, you couldn't hack their lifestyle. No electricity for starters(some Mennonites can use it for work
purposes, but it gets complicated), no machinery. Most important, however, is an absolute committment to helping your neighbors in need, whether they ascribe to your beliefs or not. Further, they are absolute pacifists, who I've never heard speak ill of another human being. You may have to work on your faith, Pud....

oh, and they do utilize the healthcare system, they just don't utilize outside support systems. Hence, for their brethren that cannot pay for it, the community gladly covers the expenses of it's weakest members.
What a concept, wouldn't it be nice if the whole nation adopted such an ideal?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my "virtual faith", only your perception of it, Slick.....Your participation in my "virtual faith" is strickly voluntary... However, participation in the Federal Health Mandate is not....All I am offering is a safe religious haven for political refugees fleeing from "Government Persecution" in a virtual enviornment....Everyone is welcome and best of all, it's green...

Old Pudfark sez: " Ya gotta have faith "

[callmeslick]

if bullshit is green, then your 'virtual faith' is, indeed, green.
Otherwise, it's just selfishness, cloaked behind a feeble excuse.

[Pudfark]

Ya shouldn't talk about yer neighbors that way....We are as devout as they be...and are entitled to the same consideration and benefits....Who do you think you are to judge our beliefs?.....What do we have to do? Join a union?...We are a non-profit group...We have rights....We don't criticize others...We believe in religious freedom and the rewards in the great beyond....Your sarcasm is not appreciated....

Old Pudfark sez: " I'm a believer in equity and equality "

I live in Pennsylvania. The Amish men are getting strangers to fuck their wives to try and offset years of inbreeding in some of their communities.
