[...] Other Amish traditions such as the ritual of the Rumspringa (and see) are also wildly misunderstood in the public eye. Popular culture would have you believe that this time of life is where young Amish men and women are allowed to venture out into the world at large and experience modern culture before committing themselves fully to their church and community. What they are really doing though (and the CIA has been aware of this for decades) is preaching and recruiting. They send out young people as missionaries to find other people with Atlantean blood in their veins to try to convince them to marry into their community or else just sire children by and to preach to “those with ears to hear” a prophecy of the coming crash of civilization.

Hi George. I appreciate your response. Like I said, this is entirely hearsay and conjecture, and I was hoping for responses from people who know better than I on the matter. Can you point me to a good resource where I can learn about the Mennonites and the Amish? I’d definitely enjoy learning from a reputable source. For example, I had no idea Mennonites could use computers, etc. The info is not easy to come by.

This is a pile of nonsense. I think people just like to think things like that. I am mennonite and I in all my years have never heard of such a thing. It amazes me that anyone believes this trash. Genetic problems do take place because people are not careful about who they marry. Mennonites and Amish marry within their churches so naturally their genetic pool gets smaller. I have three children and all are perfectly fine and as far as my wife and I are related, cant find it. Ferstay?

Tim,

I just can’t let go of the irony here. The genetic problems directly result from a lifestyle that strives toward religious, legalistic purity by avoiding the evils of modernity and evil outside influences. Although the problem more likely resulted from a decreasing gene pool as younger generations leave than from merely living in sheltered communities. Still, perhaps purity, of any sort, is not really purity at all!

However, there’s another interesting perspective. This is much like the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagarâ€”only the genders are flipped. It’s like donor sperm donation on the cheap. Who needs a Ob/Gyn doctor. Just get a hotel room.

I grew up in southern Iowa where there are a few small Amish communities and I’ve heard second-hand accounts of people being approached about this by Amish men. My cousin used to work at cattle auctions and claimed that Amish men would occasionally ask the wranglers if they’d be interested in ‘breeding’ their wives. One of the wranglers said an Amish guy complemented him on his strong back and said he could use a son with a strong back like his.

My cousin hadn’t heard of anyone actually accepting these offers though. From what I’ve seen of the Amish women, I’m not surprised.

We spent many a lunch hours in junior high school debating whether this was fact or fiction. I am still wary, but I will put some faith in you and your gf here.
