These folks get around in horse-drawn buggies and use lanterns for light. The people to whom I refer are collectively known as "the Amish." That the Amish have been able to maintain an 18th century lifestyle in a 21st century world is amazing!

    amish. The Old Order amish are among the most conservative descendants of the 16thcenturyAnabaptists. Publications have been an important voice of the amish.  
    http://www.mhsc.ca/encyclopedia/contents/A4574ME.html
    
    Extractions: The Old Order Amish are among the most conservative descendants of the 16th-century Anabaptists. The Old Order are usually distinguished from the Amish Mennonites (now largely absorbed into the Mennonite Church [MC] or various conservative Mennonite groups), Beachy Amish and the New Order Amish by their strict adherence to the use of horses on the farm and as a source of transportation, their refusal to allow electricity or telephones in their homes, and their more traditional standard of dress, including the use of hooks-and-eyes fasteners on some articles of clothing. For all practical purposes, "Amish" has come to be synonymous with "Old Order Amish" in the eyes of most observers in North America. In this century the Old Order Amish population has grown very rapidly. In 1900 there were approximately 3,700 Amish in North America. By 1990 the estimated figure had increased to 127,800 (adult membership approximately 56,200). According to sociologist Julia Erickson and her colleagues, the Amish are among the fastest-growing populations in the world. They prohibit the use of contraception and have low infant mortality rates. The average Amish woman can expect to have at least seven live births. A rapid increase in the Amish population has been one factor that has led to gradual change and innovation in Amish society. Population pressures have increased the price of land and led to shortages of available farmland in some settlements. The Amish respond to this pressure by adopting farm management strategies of the larger society such as reducing the farm size and field crop production, placing more emphasis on the production of milk by increasing the size of a dairy herd, or specializing in the production of hogs for market.

66. Amish Mennonites
    amish Mennonites. The proper name of the followers of Jakob Ammann is amishMennonite although frequently they are referred to simply as amish.  
    http://www.mhsc.ca/encyclopedia/contents/A4594ME.html
    
    Extractions: Amish Mennonites are that segment of the Swiss-Alsatian-South German Anabaptist-Mennonites and their descendants in North America who are the offspring of the group who under the leadership of Elder Jakob Ammann, of Erlenbach, canton of Bern, Switzerland, in 1693-97 separated from the main body in Switzerland. Since the full story of this division is told in the Amish Division article, it remains only to say that Ammann must have visited the Markirch (Alsace) congregation about the same time, where he excommunicated some members, and that he almost immediately got into a controversy with the ministers of the Palatinate who tried to effect a reconciliation. He found almost united support from the ministers of Alsace, but proceeded to place most of the Palatine ministers under the ban . In a few years Ammann and his associates decided they had been too rash and tried to effect a reconciliation, failing largely because they confessed only to an error in method and spirit while refusing to surrender their demand for the Meidung . Thus the division was made permanent because of the intransigence of Ammann. Ammann also held strict views on other points, including the wearing of the untrimmed beard, uniformity in

71. Origins Of The Old Order Amish
    Essay provided by the National Committee for amish Religious Freedom.  
    http://holycrosslivonia.org/amish/origin.htm
    
    Extractions: The Amish, called "The Plain People" or Old Order Amish, originated in Switzerland about l525. They came from a division of the Mennonites or Anabaptists (Re-baptizers). They opposed the union of church and state and infant baptism. They baptized people only as adults at about age l8. Adult baptism was a crime in the l6th century. Therefore, the Amish come from an impressive list of martyrs. They were put in sacks and thrown into rivers in Europe. There are no Amish left in Europe; The Amish were saved from extinction by William Penn who granted a haven from religious persecution in America. Since early colonial days the Amish have lived in the United States preserving their distinctive culture, dress, language and religion in peace and prosperity. A few years ago they were again accused of crimes failing to have their children attend school with state certified teachers or failure to send them beyond the eighth grade. Until the United States Supreme Court in the case of Wisconsin vs. Yoder

    Valentine Byler vs. the IRS Pay Unto Caesar The amish Social Security . PayUnto Caesar The amish Social Security. Part One The Dispute Begins.  
    http://www.amishnews.com/amisharticles/amishss.htm
    
    Extractions: "Pay Unto Caesar - The Amish & Social Security" Many people think the Amish do not pay taxes. They do. But they have been exempted from paying Social Security. This story is little known to the general public today. It is full of drama, clashes with the government, issues of religious freedom, politics, and much more. For writing this 5-part series, I was privileged to have access to many original materials and personal letters. (To read each section of the series individually, click on the following bookmarks, or read on for the entire series.) Part One: The Dispute Begins Part Four: The Public Reaction Part Two: The Amish vs. the IRS Part Five: The Amish "Fight Back" ... Part Three: The Media Gets Involved "Pay Unto Caesar" Part One: The Dispute Begins In 1935, a bill known as "The Social Security Act" passed Congress. Included in this act was "Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance," provided for those in industry and commerce, and extended to include farm operators in 1955. What was once a benefit had now become a law. The tax was to be reported at the rate of 3% of income up to an established limit. While the Amish have no objection "paying unto Caesar what is Caesar’s," they do have problems with commercial insurance. In a sense, insurance was seen as not trusting in God. Insurance plans were a worldly operation. Plus, the Amish view of separation of church and state normally meant not accepting money from government programs, especially something viewed as welfare. No one could deny that this program was one of paying money to the government and then receiving a benefit in return.

75. Amish Friendship Bread - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
    Wikipedia article about amish Friendship Bread with link to a recipe.  
    http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish_Friendship_Bread
    
    Extractions: Amish Friendship Bread is the chain letter of the baking world. The idea is very simple: a friend gives you a cup of yeast culture (also know as "starter") and a copy of instructions. Following the instructions, you add sugar flour and milk and it rises. Eventually, you end up with 4 cups of the starter. You use one to make bread (the instructions provide you with a recipe ), keep one to start a new cycle and give two to your friends. Each of your friends also gets a copy of the instructions for what to do with the yeast starter. The latter part makes it somewhat like a chain letter. Of course, Amish Friendship Bread does not come with any promises of riches for those who spread it on or curses for those who don't. Bread made following the traditional Amish Friendship Bread recipe is sweet and tastes more like a cake . Presumably, you could use the starter to make lots of different types of bread. edit An online version of the Amish bread instructions: http://www.freewisdom.org/wiki/AmishBreadHowto

    http://www.armchair.com/recipe/bake002.html
    
    Extractions: The Taste of Memory About Food and Wine This is more than a recipe - it's a way of thinking. In our hi-tech world almost everything comes prepackaged and designed for instant gratification. So where does a recipe that takes ten days to make fit in? Maybe it's a touch stone to our past - to those days not so very long ago when everything we did took time and where a bread that took 10 days to make was not as extraordinary as it seems today. The recipe comes to us from Mrs. Norma Condon of Los Angeles. Amish Friendship Bread is a great bread for the holidays. When you've made your bread, you can give your friends a sample and the starter that made it! Then your friends can make their own and pass it along to their friends. This is why the bread is called "friendship bread". It makes a great homemade birthday and Christmas present. Church groups and hospitals have spread a lot of love and cheer by making Amish Friendship Bread for their members. Many people make it regularly just because it tastes so good! Amish Friendship Bread is a genuine starter bread. If you know someone with a starter, you are in luck. For those of you without access to a starter, we've done our research and found a great option. It's a special starter in powder form that can be activated with flour and water; it's safe, very inexpensive and we can send it to you.
