    This is weird because lots of Amish communities let people have cell phones, you just can’t use it in the house.

      Also there are a lot of different sects of Amish. On one extreme there are the Amish who use the internet with a few restrictions, and on the other are the Amish who won’t touch anything that uses electricity. It’s a broad society. They’re pretty much all kinda shitty to women, but that’s diverse too.
