If you trumpet something as "a win for the Amish", that invites people to say whether they agree that it is a win for the Amish. Why not listen and ask clarifying questions instead of labeling everything as negativity if people don't agree with your impressions of something your read on the Internet? I think you have started several threads where you see something about the Amish on the Internet and post here expecting a particular response, and are frustrated when you get a different response. That's mostly because it's hard to really learn about the Amish on the internet. They aren't exactly an internet phenomenon.MaxPC wrote:Negativity in comments, particularly regarding non-doctrinal choices aren't very conducive to encouraging seekers.
Most people here are positive about the Amish. Don't bash what we say or be negative about our participation - we really aren't trashing the Schwarzentruber, but we don't agree with everything they do either.
