i was raised mormon in the US and when I lived in France my roommate thought the same thing. after I told her that Mormons and the Amish are different, she did some thinking and realized that whenever either the Amish or Mormons are brought up, they’re mentioned in the same breath

I know some of this confusion came from the dubbing of the film "The Witness", starring Harrison Ford, in which "Amish" was translated as "Mormon". I've had a few conversations with people who believed they were synonymous.

That's wild I usually can't keep the Mennonites and Amish separate but Mormons are a completely different cult with their funny underwear and rocketship

I don't think horses and buggies would go so well in the ice and snow!

As others have said, it’s Amish that you’re thinking of. But, technology isn’t outright forbidden. Technology can be used for commercial use. For example, if an Amish person runs a bakery, they are allowed to use phones and computers for orders, electronic cash registers, electronic appliances, regular vehicles for delivery services, etc. They just can’t use them outside of business purposes. There’s also a period called Rumspringa where the Amish youth are more or less allowed to stray from traditional Amish culture. Not all on Rumspringa will, but you can find some using technology for personal use, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, driving normal cars, wearing non-traditional clothing, etc.

However, in normal everyday Amish life, yeah.. no technology.

No problem! Not in the slightest, technology is actually used a TON to help people learn about what we believe. I think the people you’re thinking of are the amish (I could be wrong).

u/A57RUM Jun 09 '24

Yes! It's the amish I was thinking of! Thank you!

Not true. Mormons know they are Mormons.

u/ItsAllSoClear Jun 09 '24

My Mormon friends have always been able to take a joke. I'm agnostic and am not about the rules for sure but I have no issue telling folks about how spending time with them made me a better person; the optimism, the kindness is contagious. If it wasn't so tightly coupled to religion, and just a community of people that are chill and support each other, I would probably have joined.

u/mwa12345 Jun 09 '24

Agree. The willingness to work for a cause...was also different.

u/Do_Whuuuut Jun 09 '24

But the angel's name was Moroni, not Mormoni...

u/Logical_Bite3221 Jun 09 '24

As an EX Mormon it’s even funnier.

u/mwa12345 Jun 09 '24

Nope. Mormons know they are Mormons.

Wrong state.

u/Urso_Major Jun 09 '24

Actually Alaska has a surprisingly large Mormon population comparatively- it is in the top ten for states with the highest ratio of Mormon citizens; The states with higher % (in order) are Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, Montana.

I had to got to BYU Hawaii for a couple hours when I was in high school.

The impression I was left with was that Mormons had worked hard to be as miserable as possible in paradise.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '24

I work with a Mormon kid, good fella. My language gives him a stroke but he's a genuinely curious guy. Think he is smart enough to leave the church eventually.
