Highlander_ User ID: 146968 United States 10/03/2006 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looking at all of them with beards, they shave off their mustaches it seems? How come? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 94505It appears to be a matter of choice.. "The Amish clothes encourage humility and separation from the world. The Amish clothing becomes an expression of their faith. The Amish believe their women and girls should dress modestly in fabric of solid colors to not draw attention to themselves. The dresses should have long sleeves and full skirts to cover their knees. There are some Amish communities that prohibit buttons and only hooks and eyes are allowed to close clothing. They wear an apron and their heads are covered with a prayer covering. They never cut their hair and their hair is tied in a bun. The prayer head coverings vary between married women and single girls. The black prayer head coverings signify a married woman and single girls usually wear white. Amish women are not allowed to wear jewelry. Men and boys wear dark-colored suits, straight-cut coats without lapels, broad fall trousers, suspenders. Their shirts are also a solid color, their shoes and socks are always black and upon their head they wear either a black hat or a straw brimmed hat. Married men grow beards while single men are not allowed to even have mustaches and remain clean shaven. There are some communities who do allow young unmarried men to grow a beard after he has been baptized". [link to www.guidedbiblestudies.com] Memor Miles Militis Templar, pro quos nos pugna!

It's because they think mustaches are military. Nevermind the fact that mustaches are no more specific to the military than wearing a hat, or clothes for that matter. Actually there stuff in general makes sense if it's to keep things simple, this one however doesn't make sense. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 148043 United States 10/03/2006 01:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to live in Amish country ner Plain City, OH. I was told by an Amish farmer that there is a Bible verse that says that that after marrying a man will have a beard on the jaw line. The quote didn't mention a mustache, so only a beard is permitted. Sorry, someone with a concordance will have to look up the verse. |

Men grow beards when they get married. They shave the mustache because in central Europe, where they emigrated here from, the Prussian army wore mustaches, and they were oppressed by the government there for being different, and pushed around by the army. They wish to look different, with their traditional zipperless clothing, head coverings for women, modest plain dress, no jewelry or makeup. |

As for the women being plain looking they find that in the Bible too. Muslims too have their women also with long dresses and wearing black. Quoting: starlight afarYou can't be serious comparing Muslims to the Amish, like apples and oranges I think. The Muslim women have little freedom, if any, they are more alinged with personal property. I am guessing that this camparison is to the radical element of Islam that holds it's primary objective to exterminate all infidels, as Americans, they consider us infidels, lower that vile animals as the Amish are about love and passivism, moderate clothing with decorum as the center of interaction is polar opposite from deneaning and degradation actions upon all women. I am lost with this response. |

I am lost with this response. I grew up Old Order Mennonite and was very familiar with the Amish. This poster is full of BS. They are very similar to Islam. Women are considered lower and while not property they are certainly controled by the man. This would either be their father before marriage and then after marriage the husband. This is a central tenant of these groups. They get this from Corinthians 13 where the order of the sexes and the headcovering for women is talked about. |

The amish have sadly developed terrible genetic diseases of their very own. Either they'll have to start encouraging outsiders to join them or they'll eventually all die out. I like them. They go to the library to surf the net, hee hee. |
