Through my company I have done business with a Mennonite business. In business they can use any technology -- electricity, computers, you name it. It is only in personal life that they are restricted. And there Mennonites are not as restricted as the Amish, but even the Amish have a brisk business converting household appliances like blenders to run on compressed air instead of electricity. They can appear surprisingly modern in certain circumstances. I think it is more of a tribal identity thing of remaining "other" more than any kind of actual faith in God.
