Unexpected rules for Amish females


Karen M. Johnson-Weiner
There's little use in talking about the American Amish, much less Amish females, as if they were all members of a monolithic group.

The reality is that there are multiple "Amish" orders, all with different rules collected in a broad set of often-unspoken guidelines known as the Ordnung.

These rules dictate the lives of everyone in the patriarchal Germanic Amish Christian faith, laying out community-specific guidelines on everything from the depth of a man's hat brim to whether or not it's okay to have a refrigerator in one's home.

Anything she can do, I can do better. I'm a man!
Generally speaking, all Amish settlements emphasize plain, unadorned dress styles, rural living, pacifism, and some separation from the outside world — and no, they're not the same as Mennonites or Quakers or Shakers or Puritans.

Ruined by the lavender menace?
When it comes to both community and family life, females are almost always expected to be subservient to men. Yet, they also take the lead on many homemaking matters, including child rearing, food preparation, cleaning, and working on the farm.

It all seems rather simple. Amish girls are expected to observe rules that demand they remain subservient, wear plain clothing, and remember to be faithful and modest into womanhood.

However, these directives can get quite surprising and sometimes elaborate, depending on where a female lives and her personal convictions.

I can run my own biz.
For instance, it wouldn't be beyond the pale to see an Amish woman leave the family farm and run her own business.

Think you already know everything about the rules of an Amish woman's life? Think again.

The rules of Amish female power are more complex than most Americans think

Being submissive is a common rule for Amish girls, but it's not just a matter of going along with a father, brother, uncle, or husband's decisions or quietly following the rules of male church elders.

In fact, all Amish people are expected to submit in one way or another. Males are directed to submit to God and to treat their wives well and care for them with love and respect (though there are also reports of widespread abuse in some communities).

There's also a rather tricky biblical verse, Galatians 3:28, in which readers are informed that "there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."


To balance this, the Amish generally agree that males and females ought to have separate roles in their communities but that the work done by females is theoretically just as important as that of males. And though Amish females may not have official power in their communities, they wield practical power in everyday life, such as when they organize home or church activities.
  • The film My Big Fat Greek Wedding made this age-old distinction clear: "The man is the head of the house, the man is the head of the house...but the woman is the neck."
Everyone is responsible for his or her own spiritual life, too. As one woman in the highly conservative Swartzentruber Amish group states:

"The Amish way is that the men have to go ahead of the women [during baptism], but the women get baptized just as well as the men do." More: grunge.com (Unexpected rules Amish women have to follow)

The Lives of Amish Women
Karen M. Johnson-Weiner's on Amish Women
(Kindle Edition) Author Karen M. Johnson-Weiner has 4.2 out of 5 stars (with 6 reviews). Presenting a challenge to popular stereotypes, this book is an intimate exploration of the religiously defined roles of Amish females and how these roles have changed over time.

Continuity and change, tradition and dynamism shape the lives of the Amish and make their experiences both distinctive and diverse.

On the one hand, a principled commitment to living Old Order lives, purposely out of step with the cultural mainstream, has provided Amish females with a good deal of constancy. Even in relatively more progressive Amish communities, women still engage in activities common to their counterparts in earlier times: gardening, homemaking, and childrearing.

On the other hand, these persistent themes of domestic labor and the responsibilities of motherhood have been affected by profound social, economic, and technological changes up through the 21st century, shaping Amish females' lives in different ways and resulting in increasingly varied experiences. 

In The Lives of Amish Women, Johnson-Weiner draws on her 35 years of fieldwork in Amish communities and her correspondence with Amish women to consider how the religiously defined roles of Amish women have changed as Amish churches have evolved.

Looking in particular at females' lives and activities at different ages and in different communities, Johnson-Weiner explores the relationship between changing patterns of social and economic interaction with mainstream society and women's family, community, and church roles.

What does it mean, Johnson-Weiner asks, for an Amish woman to be humble when she is the owner of a business that serves people internationally?

Is a childless Amish woman or a single Amish woman still a "Keeper at Home" in the same way as a woman raising a family? What does Gelassenheit—giving oneself up to God's will [not in a slavish way but rather "'tranquil submission' in the Christian mystical tradition"]—mean in a subsistence-level agrarian Amish community, and is it at all comparable to what it means in a wealthy settlement where some members may be millionaires?

Illuminating the key role Amish women play in maintaining the spiritual and economic health of their church communities, this wide-ranging book touches on a number of topics, including early Anabaptist women and Amish pioneers to North America;
  • stages of life;
  • marriage and family;
  • events that bring women together;
  • women as breadwinners;
  • women who do not meet the Amish norm (single women, childless women, widows); and
  • even what books Amish women are reading.
Aimed at anyone who is interested in the Amish experience, The Lives of Amish Women will help readers understand better the costs and benefits of being an Amish woman in a modern world and will challenge the stereotypes, myths, and imaginative fictions about Amish women that have shaped how they are viewed by mainstream society.

Ancient pyramid mound builders in USA


Independent researcher Fritz Zimmerman (moundbuilder.blogspot.com) has spent 12 years in the field investigating 700 mound and earthwork sites in the Ohio Valley, USA.

He appeared on Coast to Coast on Oct. 7, 2024, to discuss his findings with dullard host G. Noory. Zimmerman shares his research into burial mounds (akin to Buddhist stupas) and archeological sites, which he says are home to Shadow People, cryptids, ancient dwarf races (wee people), giants, UFOs, and more.

Elaborating on the mounds' historical context, Zimmerman reveals that they date back as early as 800 BC, making them some of the oldest in the nation.
According to Zimmerman, some of the mounds and earthworks are associated with ancient giants, the people known as the Amorites who controlled Babylon from 2000 BC to 1600 BC.

"One of their calling cards," he says, "was advanced mathematics...they knew pi and the square roots of numbers" and discovered the Pythagorean theorem of triangles 1,000 years before ancient Greek Pythagoras.
  • What about the massive prehistoric American city of Cahokia? The Cahokia Mounds is the site of a pre-Columbian Native American city that existed circa 1050–1350 CE [3] directly across the Mississippi River from present-day St. Louis. The state archaeology park lies in southwestern Illinois between East St. Louis and Collinsville [4]. The park covers 2,200 acres (890 ha), or about 3.5 square miles (9 km2), and contains about 80 human made mounds, but the ancient City of Cahokia was much larger. At its apex around 1100 CE, the city covered about 6 square miles (16 km2), included about 120 earthworks in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and functions, and had a population of between 15,000 and 20,000 people. More
Zimmerman suggests that the Amorites were called the Nephilim in the Bible and that they initially came to America to mine copper. He theorizes that these giants eventually intermingled with Native human tribes like the Dakota Sioux, leading to their eventual disappearance.

At the top of Fort Hill in southern Ohio, at a four-foot stone wall "that undulates like a great serpent," Zimmerman once saw a large black mass that was humanoid in shape, which initially seemed about 8 feet tall but then grew in height as it moved toward the trees.

Other witnesses at the site also reported seeing the shadow figure, he reports. One reason such entities would be at the site is that "the mounds were a portal that connected the living with the dead," he notes.

A man who lives near a burial mound told Zimmerman that his car was surrounded by strange cryptids that looked like giant hamsters -- about 30 of them that seemed menacing.

The infamous cryptid creature known as Mothman that multiple witnesses saw in West Virginia in the 1960s may actually be the ancient winged Babylonian demon called Pazuzu, Zimmerman adds. AUDIO: coasttocoastam.com/show/2024-10-07-show

Forget Trump, New Right under Vance


Ever since former Pres. DJ became the GOP presidential nominee in 2016, there has been a small but loud group of so-called Republicans in the media and the halls of power who have fervently dreamed of the day when Trump loses his hold on the party.

Until the vice-presidential debate, these MSNBC "conservative" pundits and figures such as former Rep. Liz Cheney and Mormon Sen. Mitt Romney could have hoped that if Trump face-plants this year, the GOP will finally come back to its senses and put them back in charge.

Ohio Senator JD Vance put that theory squarely to bed onstage in New York City.
  • WHY VANCE EASILY BEAT WALZ IN DEBATE, SOFTENING HIS IMAGE IN THE PROCESS
Though polling varies, by most accounts, Sen. Vance scored a win over Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (not to mention the biased CBS moderators) with his command of the issues and a surprising affability that even seemed to have Walz charmed at times.

But it was the substance, not the style of Sen. Vance’s answers that should worry the Never Trump crowd. Because Sen. Vance, for maybe the first time, is a major political figure who is not Donald Trump, but who can explain and embody Trump’s populism even in the loftiest forums.

The cover of Time magazine this week acknowledged this with a portrait of Vance and the words, "The New Right" which is, in fact, another term for the changes that Trump has wrought in the GOP.

Trumpian populism, or the New Right, has four essential pillars erected by dumb Donald J. Trump:
  1. anti-globalism,
  2. a strong border,
  3. energy independence, and
  4. taking the fight to wokeness.
On all four, JD Vance made the case. The Ohio senator spoke of... More

Vance admits Haitian pet story fake?



Meow, can you arm me so I can defend myself?
Can you imagine what the MAGA Central offices communications must be like?

How can we fan the fires of racist hatred, JD?

Don't worry, we'll find a way. Look around in your state for a stories or rumors we can use. We'll exploit the h*ll out of them.

Good idea, Sir. There is this one farfetched story from the TV.

The TV? That's a good source. What did The Box say?

Are the Haitians bothering you? - Meow.
We got a Haitian problem, too many migrants coming in to do the work Americans don't want to do, and the people are sick of it. So someone heard...

Someone?

Well, the someone's friend's daughter heard someone else...

So three people?

Yeah, I guess you could see it that way?

See, I'm always thinking.

What did they do?

They're eating pets.

Cats?

No, dogs, too, and critters from the...

Say no more! Dogs?! This is a bonanza. Run with it!

Fun with JD: Trans, veg, LGBTQ friend

Who is JD Vance? Trump vice president pick in cartoons (usatoday.com)
So what if I wear eye makeup and lady's clothes? My wife accepts me! And I look good!
"JD [Jane Doe?] Vance" has gone through many changes in name and identity: transvestite
My Indian wife Usha Vance can't wait to get to the White House and call PM Narendra Modi

We live in a very openminded neighborhood with lots of gay flags for the LGBTQIA+ movement

I know I look good. This eyeliner brings out my eyes, and my beard makes me look manly

Usha married a Honky, but a rich Honky, so Indians will accept it. He should grow beard.

We eat beans, not beings, because it is the Hindu and compassionate thing to do like Jesus
Get off our backs! I passed muster with Don Jon Trump; that should be enough!

Deep down, I'm a hillbilly from Redneckville, who is a venture capitalist who went to Yale.

Ukraine's Vlad Zelenski is LGBTQIA+
We envision DJ Trump dying and leaving the MAGA legacy to JD Vance, who writes another hit book, this one called Redneck Soliloquy. Having led a civil war-engendering revolution after losing to Harris-Balz campaign. the US of A gets Pres. JD, who attempts to install Usha, 58, 38, as his VP with the help of PM Modi and Indian forces, including multimillionaire Vivek Ramaswamy and also-ran Hirsch, so that this country always has an Indian in the White House from now on -- Kamala, Nikki Haley, somebody. JD is a vegetarian from Ohio? Great. Have you met Hope, Timmy's Midwest vegetarian daughter? Has a transsexual "friend"? How close? Wears eye makeup? Looking good, very Indianesque like Lord Krishna and all Indian babies. Had gay thoughts at Yale University? Or was just a 100% heterosexual man in a wig and ladieswear like Ukrainian PM Vladimir Zelinski? PM Vlad was proudly LGBTQ, so what about JD?

Fraud: JD Vance isn't a 'hillbilly' (LA Times)

J.D. Vance, Ex-President Trump's new running mate, is a classic example of a convenenciero — someone who goes through life with no principles other than getting ahead and no loyalty to a community other than his own (LM Otero/AP).

Me and my brown wife Usha are true Americans.
From the moment I learned about hillbillies as a child, I was entranced. Good ol' boys and girls born high up in the mountains?

[The trailer trash of Appalachia?] That’s my parents. People who moved from rural towns to metro areas in search of a better life?

We is downhome folks from them thar hills
Story of both sides of my family. Working class? My upbringing. Lovers of things — food, fashion, music, diction, parties — that polite society ridiculed? Yee-haw! Stubbornly clinging to their ancestral lands and ways? ¡Ajúa!

I learned to love toxic bourbon, bluegrass music, Hee Haw reruns, and Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck If..." series.

LGBTQ flags in JD's Virginia neighborhood
As an adult, I drove through the small towns of central and eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, feeling at home in areas even my white friends warned wouldn't take kindly to "my type."

I might not have outwardly resembled the 'billies I met — I'm a cholo [Mexican style gang member] nerd, after all — but we got along just fine, because they were my brothers and sisters from another madre.

Ask A Mexican! (Gus Arellano)
That’s why I was intrigued when J.D. Vance’s memoirHillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, was released in 2016.

From what I heard about it, the familial dysfunction, generational poverty, and inherent fatalism that Vance overcame were similar to the pathologies of my own extended Latino clan.

The up-from-bootstraps message he preached in interviews was what my parents had always preached and what I still subscribe to. Vance's critique of conspicuous consumption among the poor is something everyone should consider.
Tacos USA (Westword)
But the parallels between the clean-cut Vance and me only went so far. He was a Yale graduate and venture capitalist, while I'm a community college kid who chose a dying profession [journalism].

He was far removed from his roots, while I experience mine nearly every other weekend at family parties. More importantly, Vance cast himself as an extraordinary exception to his fellow Appalachians, describing 'billies as encased in a toxic amber that kept them from improving their lot and left them embittered with a country that has moved on without them.

My Mexican hillbilly family never had time to whine and mope. My parents’ generation found blue-collar jobs, bought homes, and are now retired and enjoying the fruits of their blood, sweat, and tears.
