The content of Amish in Canada was merged into Amish on 11 August 2025. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
Dog breeding does not warrant being a section unto itslef

It's not even a cornered market or unique what Amish do. It was and is only a sliver of the things they'll get involved with and realistically the portion of Amish who are connected with dog industry can only ever shrink as their numbers swell. Amish being into Dog farms should either to be folded into a larger section on service of animals/doctrines on animal treatment or folded into a section about Amish business practice and work ethics more generally. 2001:569:7103:4000:80F4:9C19:96DE:C8F6 (talk) 01:06, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

....Seen a movie called Deadly Blessing. In this, a demon invades what appears to be a Amish community. The demon takes the form of a spider in order to raise hell in this movie. How can this be stated in this article under Amish -- In Fiction? 216.247.72.142 (talk) 04:22, 13 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Forgot to mention a Futurama episode in which Bender got killed and Philip J Fry ended up on a planet that is totally Amish as well. Can this be used as well, as another show called The Amish Mafia as well, and a episode of The Family Guy as well? In this, Meg falls for a Amish boy. 216.247.72.142 (talk) 09:56, 13 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

In my view, this statement in the second line of "Subgroups" is somehow misleading, because it implies that the Amish take the Ordnung directly from specific laws or ordinances of the Bible, like some Christian groups, e.g. the Seventh-day Adventists, take Old Testament dietary laws directly from the OT. But this is not the case. The Ordnung consists mainly of rules and ordinance that protect the community and the individual Amish believer from the evil influences of the "world". These rules are clearly "man made" and can be changed, which is not seldom criticized, but they are based on general Biblical rules, like "love your neighbor". With the Ordnung they show their love for their fellow Amish Christians by helping him or her to be saved. They also follow general Biblical rules like 1 Thes 5:21 "Test everything and keep the good" or 1 Cor 6:12 and 10:23. Many Amish cannot explain how their Ordnung is based on the Bible, but they know how to apply these general Biblical rules. It is somehow the same as mothertongue speakers cannot explain the rules how their monthertongue functions, even though they see it clearly, if the grammar of a sentence or the pronunciation of a word is not correct. I know this is a difficult subject and I don't know how to put it into simple words but in my view it is essential to understand the Amish and other very conservative Anabaptists who follow an Ordnung. -Tuncker (talk) 20:44, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
