[The Amish] is a wonderfully (and sometimes painfully) honest documentary of a way
of life that seems to be in more danger of dying away than ever before, and I
must admit that I have greatly conflicting emotions about that. For on the one hand, there is so much to be
admired about such a simple way of life, but on the other hand, the Amish are a
cult in every sense of the word.
Did you
notice that I did not include humble with simple as a description of the Amish
way of life? There is a good reason for that—be assured. For they are quite proud of their
stand against the modern world.
No, I do
not believe that you will ever hear one of them say as much, but it’s clearly
evident if you listen close enough. Of
course, if I am listening to the wrong voice, woe be it unto me.

Curious, if they follow the Bible and what it teaches, what pray tell, qualifies them as a cult?
Catholics teaching the diety of the Pope and Mary's diety and things not in the bible, or Mormon's teaching about inhabiting other planets, clearly are cults. What makes the Amish a cult?
BTW - I admire that the Amish are consistent with head coverings. I'll have a post on that soon...
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear RN!!! It is the extreme measures that are taken to maintain rigid control over the flock that makes them a cult. For it is written: Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 NAS
