AMISH

[Celra]

What do you think about this episode?

From what I someone....(I forget who) Said its about a Treehouse rising or building

[hersheykissed]

Yeah, when I asked Mr. W about how the KND build their treehouses he said
"watch operation: AMISH. there be a proper treehosue raisin' in that episode, to be sure."
Perhaps something like the Amish Barn raising? XD Whatever it is, sounds pretty awesome to me.

[Celra]

yeah It does

[chaos]

Lawl, cool!

Hm.. I'm completely clueless about this episode. But I can wait. *sits and waits*

[numbuh]

amish people work a lot, and without any technology help. this is the season 6's episode that i want to watch the most, because i love studying different cultures (i always loved geography and history), and the amish culture surely intrigates me.

maybe sector V will face some REALLY HARD work on an amish community, and they will not be able to do it.

[numbuh74]

Maybe they're building a treehouse for a recently formed sector of KND.

I dunno, I thought it was just a joke, but I guess not ^^;

Now that I got thinking about it, it could actually be joke. XD

*stands up* Actually, *breathes in* *pauses* I still have no clue. *sits back down and waits more*

I have a question... a rather stoopid one.. but a question:... what does the word "amish" means by itself? I mean, of course, no the acronym, but it's the meaning of the word that keeps bugging me.

The Amish are a part of the Mennonite sect (a Protestant Christian denomination). They live mostly cut-off from the non-Amish world and reject the use of modern technology (such as TVs, cars, telephones, etc.) since they believe it is detrimental to their sense of family and community. They also believe in baptism at adult age rather than as infants. Basically, you can only be baptized if you are truly committed to joining the church. Amish adolescents are given a period of time where they can test out the English (that is, non-Amish) world and decide if they want to come back to their church.

Because of their traditional lifestyle, Amish people are often known for their craftsmanship. Like, in the town I live, stores advertise selling Amish furniture and stuff.

Does that help?

... I actually understood everything. That really helped. Thank you very much for the explanation, Tako. Now I at least have an idea what this episode could be about or what it's like. Thanks.
