So many things were similar, especially on the farming and day to day life chores.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing up the Anabaptist sect as the non Amish call it, I can see where this song would stimulate that.<br /><br />The different sects of those Anabaptist churches have been my favorite people to share no-till and other farming practices with. I have spoken to Mennonite, Amish, Dunkard, Pennsylvania Dutch, German Lutheran, Hutterite, Brethren, German Baptist and other sects about no-till, cover crops and other things.<br /><br />EdEd Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-11392509144108241162014-02-20T07:47:36.530-05:002014-02-20T07:47:36.530-05:00Ahhhhh, to be raised Amish.
All one has to do is ...Ahhhhh, to be raised Amish.<br /><br />All one has to do is drive through certain parts of the country side to see the Amish <br />Living some of those dreams Ed.<br />Or Living as many Farmers did for thousands of years, actually.<br /><br />The time frame that you remember, about a blink of the eyes time frame technology advancement wise will now only and always be YOUR memory. <br /><br />ITS interesting to me that the Amish didn't form and create the man made laws they have before the wheel was invented ? would we have Amish today ?<br />Or ? if the Amish were Established today ? would they have all the Machine power <br />that we all enjoy ? <br /><br />Thank you for the stimulating Post Ed<br /><br />So does the formation of a Religious Sect. Stop Technology in its Track. <br />Instantly and forever ? <br /><br />When I was a child in the 50's We had many neighbors called ( Drunkards )<br />from the German Baptist sect. <br />All of their cars had to be Black. even the Bumpers. everything was Black <br />even all of their Clothing. <br />and Most were Farmers and or Carpenters, Masons of the Building trades. <br />Man made laws established in time and frozen in time. <br />Soil Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221798109480229346noreply@blogger.com
