I thought they were allowed to use livestock like horse, oxen, mules, etc?

Horses don't have opposable thumbs and can't lift.

Well, I would assume the Amish have some sort of cantilever system that can lift using the horse's forward power, or horsepower, if you will.  

Also, my friend Jay Riemenschneider can get you horse thumbs  by the end of the week.

And the Amish obviously use technology.  What has always baffled me is what year did they decide to "freeze" their society in?  They can use eyeglasses, axle grease, and precision-made tools.  And their modern day livestock have undergone many extra centuries of domestication and breeding from which the Amish benefit.  Why is that "progress" not considered an aversion  to their faith?

Whoah, whoah, whoah.  Now who's this Chuck Testa" guy?  Frankly, the name sounds made up.

Our company makes manufacturing equipment for the Amish and Hutterites throughout the Midwest. It's really strange to see what the Deacons for one clan will approve while the next settlement over won't go that far. Almost all of them are OK with a standalone internal combustion engine that will spin a main shaft for all of their belt-driven equipment.

The freeze is somewhere around 1840 or so.  But every church does it a bit different.  Something about not letting technology control their lives.  Some even used tractors.  Tractors with steel wheels and no lights.  Just used the tractor for work and nothing else.

Well, what else could they use the tractor for?  Like 'Chicken Wars' like in "Footloose?"

Oh, there are quite a few things one can do on a tractor.

 

Other than her eyebrows/eyelids, she was smokin' hot.  

Sadly, we'll have no way of ever telling the Amish about that hilarious tractor story because not only do they not have Netflix or YouTube, but they don't wear bathing suits.  Damn these religious divides between us.  Seinfeld is the way.

I have sold software to a hutterite colony in Canada. My experience is their "rules" constantly evolve. When I first was contacted, they couldnt download our software eval package , so I used DHL to drop off a USB drive to the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Computers were OK, but no internet, I guess. Fast forward 7-8 yrs and I got these guys on Zoom video calls to trouble shoot some issues they had running our software on a raspberry pi.  But they cant have true smart phones. Their cell phones are the most remedial you can buy. smart guys who can come up with some ingenious solutions. 

I'm assuming it was unoccupied. Had to have been given it's in Orange. Else no amount of wind would have taken it off the ground.

pretty soon it will be that they can't use the teleporters powered by whatever the fuck RayDog is working on, but it's OK to use the teleporters powered by cold fusion.

Exactly why some uses of makeup should be a crime punishable by death.

One of our bigger Amish customers rolls tin and trim for metal-clad post frame buildings that they sell to the "English". As part of the process they have learned and been certified to do electrical and plumbing. Nothing funnier than watching a 12 yr old drive a self-propelled DitchWitch trencher up onto a horse drawn cart to go to the next job.

Hutterites are interesting colonies. They actually embrace the tech, have phones and computers and are adept at programming PLCs and the like. The North Dakota colony that we deal with has smart phones and internet. I share files with them regularly. Like you said, they are pretty good at figuring out work arounds for just about anything that a job throws at them.

Our Amish folks, on the other hand, had to get clearance from the deacons to allow us to use magnets on a stacker.

All this talk about the Amish and nothing from Kingpin?

Damn, Surlatians, I haz dissapoint.
