What would it be like if the whole world become Amish?

Answer 1

The best answer lays in the idea of homogeneous stagnation... the Amish have much to offer and anyone wanting to gain from their perspective would do well to actually live with them & follow their rules for a time. However, I suggest to you that if you were born & raised on the nipple of today's "immediate gratification" via the technologies of today, their simple, "no-frills" (nor 'thrills') lifestyle would have you bored stiff within weeks. The Amish make their own "entertainment" and it's not nearly as "passive" as our "switch-on" curcuitry is. Moreover, Yahoo Q. & A. would be "verbotten" in their world. I think that its best to gather from them all the philosophical attributes that can make your own world a little less insane, and remain eclectically in-tune with all human cultures. It is from bringing the attributes of many cultures together that we gain novel sensibilities and evolve sociologically.

Answer 2

One can only imagine how peaceful the world would be if everyone was Amish, but that will never happen because America needs to build upon the technology of our adversary's that threaten our distinction in time. We are faced with midevil perils and protection now is a must for the Holy land of people have gone astray from the truth and the word of God. Our entire nation is long Holy rightousness and that no longer spits an honor, but only hell.

Answer 3

Well, it isn't going to happen. The Amish survive precisely because they are not all people; they are surrounded by people who are willing to fight, and who will protect them in spite of their being non-violent.

But if the whole world did become Amish, I suppose they would have no enemies, and therefore their non-violence would not be fatal. This should then be a very nice, quiet, sensible place to live. A little boring, perhaps; but very nice.

Answer 4

I would hate to be a woman in an amish town

The Amish community has its own justice system, and three Vernon County men accused of repeated sexual assault and battery already have been punished, an Amish church leader says.

One man was banned from church and ostracized from the community for at least six weeks, while another had to ask for forgiveness. The third man, who was just a teen at the time of "sentencing" several years ago and therefore not a full-fledged church member, had to stay at home until he showed signs of character improvement.

"It wasn't ignored," Bishop Dan Miller said. "By our church, it was cleared up years ago.

"We try to work out our problems ourselves, among the church," he said. "It's our group, and it's not our way and it wasn't our forefathers' way to take our problems to the law or to your people to settle it.

"It's always worked better for us, we felt, to keep those standards and solve our problems if we can."

Vernon County authorities, however, do not consider the cases closed. After a 20-year-old woman claimed she was raped more than 200 times between age 7 and 17, and beaten unconscious on one occasion, the two brothers and their stepfather were arrested last week.

Criminal complaints already filed in Vernon County Circuit Court depict horrendous allegations of sexual abuse that the woman told investigators became "simply a way of life." Law enforcement became involved after the woman left the community and sought help from a non-Amish friend, authorities said.

Answer 5

If the whole world were Amish, those poor victims wouldn't have had a hospital to go to...

Answer 6

We still wouldn't be safe, to judge by today's shootings at the Amish school. But otherwise, it ,ight be a very peaceful way to live. Too bad nasty other people would spoil it for us.

Answer 7

there would be a lot less illness, since much of our illnesses and diseases are caused by the technology that makes our lives easier. We would all grow organic veggies, eat untainted meat, and get along a lot better, and probably live to be 120. And the economy as we know it would collapse, but we wouldn't care.

Answer 8

possibly no longer, regrettably. in spite of the undeniable fact that it does rely on what point of peace you're after. Even the early church had its squabbles as they wrangled with doctrinal and ministry variations. they did no longer particularly come to many blows and internecine killings, nonetheless, until the iconoclast controversies in the seventh-8th centuries. people are nonetheless people. yet each and every of the jointly as, in each and every Divine Liturgy, Vespers, and Matins (Orthos), in the process the super Litany, "For peace in the full international, for the steadiness of the holy church homes of God, and for the cohesion of all, enable us to wish to the Lord." advantages. /Orthodox
