CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I live in a small community called Jamestown here in western pennsylvania . We have many amish moving in from the New Order sect plus we have another community nearby called Atlantic where the stricter old order reside. So, my favorite place is right here in my hometown watching the simple and plain people move in !

Lancaster is fun, but it's very touristy and full of Amish "attractions". For the tourist, of course this is the way to go.
I love seeing buggies going down the back roads in the country myself. The little Amish kids love to wave at you as you drive by!

I've started commuting daily into Lancaster County for work and will probably move there~the backroad buggies novelty has definitely worn off

amish people interest me, but i think its very hypocritical that they can forgive a englisher for murder...but shun their own children if they decide to not live the amish lifestyle....just wrong.

I leave within 20 miles of both Volant, PA and Middlefield, Oh. They are very plain and simple people. But, like anyone they have their faults . I do not agree with the banning or shunning either. If you forgive someone, why shun them? It is a misconstruned idea. I have so much too tell you all since I have become close friends with an amish family. send me a message if you have any questions !

I grew up along the PA/Ohio border northwest of Pittsburgh. At the Rogers, Ohio flea market on the weekends, an Amish group sells baked goods. The farm lands in those areas are beautifully worked and maintained. And everything is so green in early fall.
I've not personally spent time visiting Amish folks at their homes, although I have spoken to a few in the process of buying goods. Their cookies are the biggest ones you'll see in your life. They're huge. Also, I like their cheeses and sausages. They are a strict, and yet a kind group of people.

Aylmer, Ontario has an amazing settlement of Amish people and our family is praying about whether God wants us to relocate within their community as a non-Amish member family. Hoping that He will give us an answer!

I have had the pleasure of visiting one in Jamesport MO; several times. And been to one in Harmony MN a couple of times. But I really enjoyed the one in Shipshewana IN (I think I spelled it right), it is beutiful there, never thought I would say that about Indiana. But I really have enjoyed all 8 of the Amish areas I have visited.
