I would actually consider joining several different Amish communities that are less strict.

[00:00:00]Would you consider joining the New Order Amish? Not just New Order. There's several Old Order I would join. Just because they still use that label doesn't mean they're that strict like my group. Many now preach relationship over religion. They teach on salvation and they don't they're not as harsh on shunning. I admire the lifestyle. I could live the lifestyle. And if things keep getting tougher, prices keep getting higher and higher all all across the board, I could do it. I don't think I ever will. I mean, let's be real. I don't think I'll probably never have to.

[00:00:34]But let's say I had to. Oh, absolutely.

[00:00:36]I wouldn't have no problem because I didn't leave because of the lifestyle. I just left because of the really strict rules and disqualifying for Amish baptism in my group because I rode a bicycle and violated some dress code rules. But not all of them are that strict anymore. There's some of them have running water, electricity through solar power, allowed to have phones, and I can keep on doing the tickity talks.
