The whole world is gradually divided into those who welcome any vice, calling it the choice of a person, and those who seek to live righteously. Unfortunately, the last group is much smaller. But not so small. The righteous include the Amish. Who are they? These are followers of the teachings of Jacob Amman, a Swiss who correctly decided that civilization and vice are one and the same. He lived in the 17th century and belonged to a very strict Mennonite sect (a branch of Protestantism). But he was not happy with the fact that society was rolling into the abyss. In his opinion, a righteous person cannot even communicate with the rest. He gathered a bunch of followers around him. They moved to the New World in order to build a different society, cleansed of vices.
Modern Amish - who is it?
There are many communities in the United States and Canada that lead a separate lifestyle. They try to communicate only in their circle. The rules of their life are strict. Subsistence farming ensures their existence. Amish, there are about 200 thousand people. In connection with the upcoming end of the world, their ranks are constantly replenished with new adherents. The largest Amish community is located in Pennsylvania. Lancaster County is also referred to as their country.
What Amish believe
Who invented this, that the Devil, and not the Lord rules the world, is unknown. But the Amish sincerely believe in this. Human souls look like fragile sprouts in the field of the breeder - the Devil, who by all means tries to instill numerous defects into them. Only the most staunch are given the resistance to unite with the Lord when the time comes to go to heaven.
These righteous people live in oases of goodness - Amish settlements, where it is very difficult to give in to devilish temptations, since the whole way of life is strictly regulated here. Communities are subject to a strict charter - Ordnung, in which literally every step of the righteous is prescribed.
Humility is the main virtue that the Amish worship
Who said that you need to fight vice by force? Not at all. Amish believe that only by humility and non-resistance will they make their way to Paradise. Their whole life consists of trials and sufferings, which they must endure without grumbling and not resisting. Even if a believer spits in the face, he will not be offended or angry. Anger, anger, pride are terrible vices. The religions of the world do not know another such trend, where believers are pure children. They will pray for the salvation of their executioner. At the same time, sincerely and sincerely.
Genesis Amish
This population group lives separately. Engaged in subsistence farming. Families are created with co-religionists. There are a lot of children in them, so the settlements are growing rapidly. It is likely that this human population will suffer from its closeness, due to the limited choice of couples. But now so many people are fleeing civilization that such fears are no longer relevant. Amish give shelter to many people who want to leave the world. Who is so eager to get away from the benefits? A lot of people who protest in this way against the ugliness that is happening in the modern world. They are not satisfied with the unbridled customs, the ubiquitous sex, the inability to have something personal, since even the most secret immediately becomes known to the public. This is not the life of the Amish. For them, the innermost exists. They do not watch TV, do not surf the Internet, even radio is prohibited. Women walk fully dressed, not half naked, as is customary in advertising. Men let go of their beards and never swear. These are very kind and glorious people.
