[post_page_title]Amish generally ban the use of public electricity[/post_page_title]
Sure, using vacuum cleaners or washing machines could make life so much easier for the Amish, who do plenty of intensive physical labor as it is. But is living on Easy Street really our purpose in this world? The Amish don’t think so. Some might think they’re modern-day cavemen, who view electricity as “evil.” That’s entirely not true.
Many Amish sects use machinery in work and home life – they’re simply not connected to the public power grid the rest of us are. Why? Because relying too much on public power would tie them too directly to outside influences, thereby threatening their way of life and religious devotion.
