they have a specific religous dogma, they close off their society, they refuse to use "modern" conveniences...although this has been changing over time...
What I find amusing about them is that some groups of Amish here in PA feel that they are exempt from state law/taxes but yet many of their children receive state medicaid....To be honest I am glad that they do take their kids to the hospitals because in some cases the more strict orders have let children die rather than use "english" medicine.
