You all must have some different ones then us. Bed dating is when a young man and girl are dating, they lay in bed and 'talk'. There has been quite a few 'shot gun' weddings out of season and babies born 'early' because of it. I'm sorry, you can say what you want to in the negative about the Amish, but I would NEVER give up my Amish neighbors! When I was sick, they came over and cooked for my kids, fed my dogs and went and got food for us. When our roof needed repaired, they were the first ones here to fix it because hubby was in another state. We butcher with them every year and we eat great. I was invited to a church service with them and had one of the little girls tell me what was being said the whole way through. I have been to their weddings, OMG! The food is abundant and awesome. My Amish neighbors were the first ones to come to us after our house burnt down. They brought us food, quilts and other brand new bedding and dishes, etc. I helped deliver one of their babies over the winter and you would have thought I was God to them. Let me ask you this....Other then the excommicated amish dude, how many of you have ever seen an Amish woman with their hair down and in their night clothes? Both hubby and I have been invited into their house when they are like that. That is true trust and friendship to me!
Now there are ones here that are ignorant, rude, smelly, evil, stealing SOB's. I just don't bother with them! There is good and bad in all people, I'm just so glad I have the good bunch for neighbors!
Plus, I learned a lot of PA Dutch from them and know enough if someone is talking about me or my family and can floor them when I answer them in dutch. Priceless!
