LOL... Did you ever read my story before about how we found our parsonage in OKC when we bought an old mennonite church there?

We got there and had almost remodeled the entire house and then as we were going from back to front one room at a time we found the front bedroom had even a larger closet than all the other 3 bdrms... and then went in it and it had cable hookups and internet modems and phone lines and everything hooked up strategically placed in this closet that had been turned into a large hidden office! LOL

Re: Can an Apostolic become Amish?

Not many Apostolics would like to give up their electic, cars, and store bought clothes, they just are not into all the pins it takes to be Amish.
Grew up in a community not to far from an Amish community and as much as I like them I would not want to live their life style.
Must be why most figure me to be Liberal.

Is that all you had to say? Somehow when I saw this thread I invisioned you defending your people alot better than that.

I've always admired the Amish way of living very much and concidered taking on the lifestyle. It didn't happen but I did seriously think about it. It's quite an interesting way of life, and most days I think it would be better than how we live. Now if I could just figure out how to keep my technology that I like while getting rid of the technogoly that I don't want, I'd be alright. Come to think about, there really isn't that much technology that I like, I just use more than I like out of neccessity.

But can an Apostolic become Amish? I don't see why not, many are barely not Amish as it is anyway. Then of course there are the Amish that became Apostolic like Brother Steven Hoover.
