Default Are they really Amish or cashing in on the ideal?

For a community so close to nature and God that they don't want/need the evils of modern man and yet they would go to such extremes for the almighty dollar, I just don't get it...

They even have pictures of "Amish" on their website. A true Amish person isn't supposed to allow their picture to be taken because it 'captures part of their soul' and they won't be allowed in heaven.

Meanwhile, the amish have the highest suicide rate per capita - FAR above the national average!! I've seen that published several times and for the life of me can't figure it out. If they were truly in touch with the powers that be...

Such a contradiction.

JMHO
