The whole world is gradually divided into those who welcome any vice, calling it the choice of man, and those who strive to live righteously. Unfortunately, the latter group is much smaller. But not so few. The Amish are the righteous. Who are they? These are followers of the teachings of Jacob Ammann, a Swiss who correctly decided that civilization and vice are one and the same. He lived in the 17th century and belonged to a very strict Mennonite sect (a branch of Protestantism). But he was not satisfied with the fact that society was heading into the abyss. In his opinion, a righteous person cannot even communicate with others. He gathered around him a bunch of followers. They moved to the New World to build a different society, cleansed of vices.
Modern Amish - who are they?
In the US and Canada, there are many communities that lead a secluded lifestyle. They try to communicate only in their own circle. Their rules are strict. Subsistence economy ensures their existence. There are about 200 thousand Amish people. In connection with the coming end of the world, their ranks are constantly replenished with new adherents. The largest Amish community is located in Pennsylvania. Lancaster County is another name for their country.
Wowhat the Amish believe
Who thought it up that the Devil, not the Lord, rules the world is unknown. But the Amish sincerely believe it. Human souls are like fragile sprouts in the field of a breeder - the Devil, who by all means tries to instill in them numerous vices. Only the most persistent are given to resist in order to unite with the Lord when the time comes to go to heaven.
These righteous people live in oases of goodness - Amish settlements, where it is very difficult to succumb to the devil's temptations, since the whole way of life is strictly regulated here. Communities are subject to a strict charter - the Ordnung, which spells out literally every step of the righteous.
Humility is the main virtue that the Amish revere
Who said that vice must be fought with force? Not at all. The Amish believe that only by humility and non-resistance will they make their way to Paradise. Their whole life consists of trials and suffering, which they must endure without murmuring or resisting. Even if you spit in the face of a believer, he will not be offended or angry. Anger, anger, pride are terrible vices. The religions of the world do not know of another such movement, where believers are pure children. They will pray for the salvation of their executioner. At the same time, earnestly and sincerely.
Amish life
This population group lives apart. Engaged in natural farming. Families are created with fellow believers. There are a lot of children in them, so the settlements are growing rapidly. There is a possibility that this human population will suffer from its closeness,due to the limited choice of pairs. But now so many people are fleeing civilization that such fears are no longer relevant. Many people who want to get away from the world are given shelter by the Amish. Who is it that wants to get away from the good? A lot of people who in this way protest against the ugliness that is happening in the modern world. They are not satisfied with unbridled morals, ubiquitous sex, the impossibility of having something personal, since even the most intimate immediately becomes known to the public. This is not the life of the Amish. For them, the secret exists. They don't watch TV, they don't surf the Internet, even the radio is banned. Women go fully dressed, not half-naked, as is customary in advertising. Men grow a beard and never swear. They are very kind and nice people.
