Why don t the Amish use electricity?
Because the Amish lifestyle is a deliberate effort to separate from the world and maintain self sufficiency, they decided in the early part of the century that linking with electrical wire would constitute a connection with the world and would violate the Bible s instruction not to be conformed with the world. That decision, viewed now, shows amazing foresight as it has protected the Amish community from outside influences such as radio and TV.
