I don't live this way... but a part of me wants to.

The Amish have always interested me. I have been to an Amish Community in Illinois. They were very friendly. Lot's of roadside stands to buy things.
I have also been to Seymour, MO, that is up in your neck of the woods, I think, Bro. Hoover. They were not very friendly and did not see the stores and roadside stands.
Are there different "orders" of the Amish as with the Mennonites?

There is a few different orders - even among the ultra con horse and buggy types. The group you speak of in in Seymour are Swartzentruber I am quite sure VERY CONSERVATIVE! They actually went to court over NOT allowing the triangle (slow moving viehicle sign) on the back of there buggies.

Berk, if you are serious, you should go to the christian bookstore and buy the novels on the Amish (Beverly Lewis and some other authors). They are aimed at women, I'm sure, but you will learn so much about the Amish lifestyle. It's fascinating! However, B. Lewis portrays them as really not believing in a relationship with Jesus, but portrays the Mennonites as really having one. Not sure how true that is!

When I was growing up my grandparents lived right in the middle of the community. My grandpa and grandma both drove for them. They always invited us to big dinners and we invited them to family dinners also.
AS a matter of fact my dad met up with that same amish family--they moved to Michigan years ago--and they had a special dinner because he was in town.
The Amish are some of the most friendly and down to earth people I have ever met....
