RE: The Wisdom of the Amish?
oh that is so interesting and didn't know about that! yes I've never heard of them voting before. and I didn't know they were in OK either, very good.

First time it ever happened! They registered 70,000 new voters, and Trump won by 40,000! No wonder she was pissed, ROFLOL!
Yes they are just east of Tulsa in an area calle Mazie landing. They have one large farmhouse that serves food (by gaslight) to about 100 people twice a weekend. They bring the food in by buggy, and use the money to buy more land for their kids to farm. The food is simple, and excellent! :)
GENIUS!
thank you sir for commenting and for the resteem @baah!
Yes, the church buys the land, so no taxes. The newlyweds are given a farm, house, barn and everything they need to succeed. Their only payment, is to bring their excess to the farm / restaurant to help the next couple!
These are Not stupid people! :)
These people shame all the wannabe anarchists that claim that label but still support the state under the premise that "Taxation is theft and I am forced to pay them".
They have definately removed themselves from the system!
That was one of the reasons I was so impressed that they voted in Pa last election. That was a massive endevor! :)
ha! I was just going to say that their church is their bank in most communities and like @baah said ..that is brilliant.
yeah they know how to make great food, I've eaten at 3 different restaurants that they own and run and it's wonderful. especially if you're trying to gain weight because it's not exactly low cal or sugar free!
Yes, when you come in, you enter through a store to sit down. When you leave, you exit through the same store. The shelves you didn't notice coming in; are covered with home made goodies you just filled up on!
They have a LOT of secondary sales as people leave. They tell the people waiting to leave, that there is plenty, so not to worry (but think about what you want to buy, LOL) there will be plenty when you get there. It is legal.... :)
very savvy.
They had it timed where the fresh baked bread got there about ten minutes before the dinner was over. Should be illegal, LOL! (That bread was GOOD!)
I bet they come close to doubling their take in that store. :)
lol yes more to admire them for!
@smithlabs I think they are a great role model for the rest of us and we
need to support their efforts or duplicate them as far as helping others.
Yes, they live their faith! They set up as a Church, a canning line to make food for their Missionaries to distribute over seas. An Engineer I used to work with helped them about every other month. They used pressure cookers, and filled hundreds of metal cans. In the winter, they canned meats.
:)oh this is something I didn't know about them! you're saying they send missionaries overseas? I wonder where..and by "canning" are you talking about jars or metal cans?
you're just full of information @smithlabs!
I do not know where the missionaries go. Yes they actually put the food in CANS, not bottles. Ships better.
I AM full of something, Just ask my wife!
:)lol! 👍
