There's alot of things I wouldn't want to do w/o like they do, But I thk it's cool how they take care of eachother. No one does w/o. if somene needs a barn built, everyone pitches in and helps. They don't do that anywhere else. That part of the amish people, is awesome and I wish people could come back together like that. 🙂

Yeh...I have heard that one too !
This makes me think about the "Will of God" thingy..... If they think that why then do they try to make themselves better when they are sick ?
Some religious cults/churches - I believe that The Mormons are included here - ( Church of The Latter Day Saints ), will not allow blood-transfusions and would rather die waiting for their God to save them than accept the life-giving blood from another person.
What they want to do is to make up their minds: Do they want to leave it all up to the will of their God or do they want to pitch in and give him/her/it a hand ?
Either what happens IS the will of God or it isn't !
