Isolated From The Community
After their Rumspringa vacation, the Amish youth are faced with a difficult decision. They have to decide whether or not they want to stay in the church. For the rest of their lives if they do not, they will be cut off from family and friends. This is a difficult decision. This is why you retain 90 percent of your current customers.
Technology Exceptions
Some Amish families are more lenient than others when it comes to technology use. There are no restrictions on the use of tractor-powered vehicles, electric refrigerators, running water, or propane gas in the Alona Amish community. Cell phones are also allowed in some cultures.
