The Amish certainly are odd people, but we need to give credit where credit is due: they trust the Lord rather than medicine, just like God wants all Christians to do:

James 5:14-16
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I apologize for the link leading to "South Bend Tribune" (as you already know, South Bend is a homosexual hotbed), but the somewhat more reputable Detroit News article is behind a paywall.

Michigan's Amish put trust in God, not COVID-19 vaccines

CALIFORNIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — As this rural township in southern Michigan turned into an Amish enclave, older residents nursed grievances against their new neighbors.

The quiet quibbling turned into a full-throated roar last year when the Amish, in the middle of a pandemic, held a wedding attended by several hundred people.

Residents lit up the phones of the police and took to the ramparts, that is, social media. They said the Amish were always getting away with stuff, didn’t care about anyone but themselves, that every person at the wedding should be arrested...
The religious group presents a two-headed dilemma for county health departments.

For one thing, their communal way of living makes the Amish highly susceptible to the contagious disease. For another, they eschew vaccines or, for that matter, any type of protection, including masks...

When Gov. Gretchen Whitmer imposed a COVID-19-related lockdown in March, the Amish closed their businesses around the state and stopped going to church, say health officials. Within several weeks, they began venturing out again.

Whitmer limited the size of gatherings, but the Amish don’t do small. Their families are big. Their celebrations are big. Their quilting bees are big.

In September, a baptism for three children drew 300 people to a farm in Bronson, said Lovina Eicher, the grandmother of one of the children...

The Amish refuse to seek refuge from man-made materials, they say. They would rather put their trust in God. If he decides it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

Reuben Wickey, 36,of California Township, said he knew the dangers of the disease but was content putting his life in God’s hands.

“We worry like everybody,” he said while standing next to several broken-down buggies in his pole barn. “We follow the good Lord’s way.”

Amen! The Amish look funny, talk funny, smell funny, and use iron chariots which certainly displeases the Lord (Judges 1:19), but this is the one time when we all need to follow their example.

I have been hearing rumors about some elderly folk in Freehold getting clandestine appointments for the Covid vaccine. (I know names but I won't mention them, there is still time to cancel your appointments). Really?! You want to be less Christian than the Amish?! Unbelievable!

I'll end with another verse. I think it clearly tells us the size of faith in some of our elderly church members.

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Say what you will about the Amish (and there's a lot to say, they are a hilarious looking bunch!), they won't have chips implanted in their brain by government stooges. I mean, have you ever wondered why the most contagious virus ever known to man, one that is supposedly spread through the breath, needs to be checked way, way, deep up inside the nostril? How come every single bacteria and virus can be checked from blood or saliva but this one requires invasive, fool long Q-tips to get to? I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but I believe they are using these "check" to implant a chip into the brain of sheeple. I also think they're getting the population used to deep probes. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but when they come out with anal probes to check if the vaccine worked, I'll just be sitting back telling everyone I told them so.

Great observation, Sister Mary. If we know anything about deep state we know it comes up with ideas to control us. A chip planted in our throats would be something it would do. Not only that, but I've that part of our respiratory system is very close to our brain. Maybe that is its real destination. This entire convid thing is based on socialism followed by communism. Karl Marx is nodding his approval.

I still can't tell the difference between religious Jews and the Amish. They look exactly the same-or at least the men do. With clothes on, of course. Which is honestly the only way I've ever seen them. It would be easy to tell if they walked around naked, or so I'm told.

I think the main difference is that the Amish didn't kill Jesus.
