Thats fine Elder and Amish live a strict isolated life too.
Nothing wrong with your life style or the Amish.
But when it is indoctrinated as Gods commandments and those that do not adhere to these doctrines of Isolation are back sliders, well it's ludicrous.
I like go roughing it camping sometimes, but I do come back to civilization.
It seems that the elders and founders of the past loved the Mountain top experience so much they never came back down to were life happens.
They have stayed up on the mountain top for so long they died for lack of oxygen.
This tradition is passed down the line.
