Dave S November 12, 2026 at 6:22 am on Amish Home Burned To The Ground In Missouri Vandalism Case – Witness Thought Arson Talk Was A Bluff. 6 People Now Charged (UPDATED)I look at the names of the perpetrators and I think X Amish or X Mennonite? Revenge instead of senseless gross vandalism. I hope the book is thrown at them but I know that the victims have already forgiven them.
Mike November 12, 2026 at 1:18 am on Amish Brothers Escape Jail Time In Abuse CaseI don't know the circumstances here, but a child left to himself becomes a shame to his mother. We never allowed our children to be left alone with others, family or otherwise, without checking on them regularly. Preferable, if alone, within sight out the window, or in the next room. But even within sight, you just can't tell what they are talking about, if its wholesome. Too many opportunities on the farm to find seclusion. I have to wonder if the boys were left alone too much to roam about like a pack of wild dogs. "Out of mom's hair" often invites opportunities for the flesh to take advantage of the setting.

Leana November 11, 2026 at 10:07 pm on Passing Driver Uses His Car To Save Amish Buggy Horse Loose On Interstate (Ohio)It is good to hear that someone else was able to do something nice for the Amish this time. They do many things to help the outside community with no strings attached just to be nice. And the outside world is not often very friendly to them as we see from many examples. So glad this went well for everyone!

Sheila Bowlin November 11, 2026 at 5:44 pm on Inside A Missouri Amish Store: Straw Hats, Homemade Noodles & Trail Bologna (27 Photos)We had a new 40x40 shop built and you all are amazing ! Excellent service from ordering to the guys that put this up in 3 days . It was super hot in July and I brought them down a bowl of watermelon and they were so grateful . We couldn’t be more proud of that JP symbol on the front of our new shop!
Haley Straw November 11, 2026 at 5:26 pm on Passing Driver Uses His Car To Save Amish Buggy Horse Loose On Interstate (Ohio)What an incredible act of bravery by that driver! Stepping in to catch a runaway buggy horse on an active interstate takes massive courage. He saved the horse and likely prevented a catastrophic collision. I know firsthand that loose livestock keeps you on your toes! I remember coming home late one night after a long trip, pulling up to Roy Borntreger’s house to drop him and his family off. As we turned the corner on the gravel road, we found 15 escaped horses having an impromptu street party right in front of his place! Roy had to coach me on how to use my maxi van to help corral them all back in. There is truly never a dull moment in Amish country. Kudos to the brave hero in Ohio! – The Barefoot Amish Taxi Driver
Loretta November 11, 2026 at 2:33 am on Inside A Missouri Amish Store: Straw Hats, Homemade Noodles & Trail Bologna (27 Photos)Most interesting. I don't know that I will ever make it to Missouri but if I do, best believe I will be shopping at all of these stores!

Martha Cable November 9, 2026 at 7:22 pm on Woman Charged In Vandalism Spree Targeting Amish – Buggy Was Stolen & Pushed Off Bridge (Missouri)Useless, worthless, excuses for human beings. All involved need to go to prison and anything of value that they own, and that is questionable, needs to be sold for complete restitution of everything damaged, and if they don’t have anything, then put them to work in a salt mine some where until the debt is paid. I am so sick of degenerates like these. No more slap on the hand or turning the other cheek.
Joe Donnermeyer November 9, 2026 at 6:50 pm on Woman Charged In Vandalism Spree Targeting Amish – Buggy Was Stolen & Pushed Off Bridge (Missouri)When I began to scan The Diary for stories from scribes about the Amish as victims of crime, I was amazed by the variety of offenses to which they are victims. But this story is nonetheless about a usual set of incidents. If anyone is interested in this research, go to The Journal of Plain Anabaptist Communities, volume 4, issue 2, page 23-48. https://doi.org/10.10861/jpac.v44i2.976
Jim Krämer November 9, 2026 at 6:24 pm on Woman Charged In Vandalism Spree Targeting Amish – Buggy Was Stolen & Pushed Off Bridge (Missouri)Der Hass gegenüber den Amischen ist genauso irrational wie der Hass gegen die Juden! Ich habe z.B. von Nichtjuden gehört, dass die Juden zusammenhalten und einander helfen. Meine Antwort an jene ,,gute christliche Frau," die mir das sagte und als Vorwurf gegen die Juden meinte (als ob so so zu leben irgendwie negativ, gar gaunerhaft wäre!): Du wirfst ihnen genau das vor, was Pfarrer und Priester predigen und betonen als das, was Christen machen und wie Christen leben sollen! Natürlich schwieg sie ganz schön still...! Das gilt aber ebenso bezüglich die Amischen: Wer weist mehr Hilfsbereitschaft auf als die guten Amischleute, die jedes Mal die Hemdenärmel hochkrempeln und sich gleich an die Arbeit machen, sei es unmittelbar nach einem Hurrikan, Tornado oder Flut, ohne nach Ruhm, Lob oder Belohnung zu suchen?!!
Deborah R November 9, 2026 at 5:58 pm on Amish Woman Killed, Toddler And Teen Airlifted After Pickup Rear-Ends Buggy On Ohio HighwayGood eve, So many Amish buggys "rear ended" in broad daylight. I don't understand how a driver cannot see these buggys in full daylight. If a motor vehicle driver is driving with the sun blazing through the front window, they should slow down accordingly until conditions improve or they change directions. If it is dusk or dark, and drivers are in Amish areas, they should STILL expect they might come upon a buggy! One has no idea what might cause buggy travel at these times but even the Amish may have emergencies they must travel to.
Dave November 9, 2026 at 5:35 pm on Woman Charged In Vandalism Spree Targeting Amish – Buggy Was Stolen & Pushed Off Bridge (Missouri)Have an Amish community here in Salmon ID. There are some that despise them for no reason I can understand. There are some or one who have stolen from them. They are great people and I'm glad to know some of them.

Guy in Ohio November 8, 2026 at 9:30 am on This West Virginia Amish Farm Just Hit The Market At 7 Figures (28 Photos)This community was actually founded by Swartzentruber Amish from Homerville, Ohio and Boonville, Missouri. This house didn’t strike me as Swartzentruber, at the same time it doesn’t seem very progressive either. Indoor bathrooms, but they don’t have real running water, not even a sink for washing hands in the one bathroom that we have a full picture of.
Leon Moyer November 7, 2026 at 12:36 pm on This West Virginia Amish Farm Just Hit The Market At 7 Figures (28 Photos)With all the equipment surrounding the buildings such as a tractor on tracks and backhoe on tracks, it appears to be very liberal Amish or new order, almost Mennonite type of family. Also the solar and electric inside the house is very modern. The 40 by 60 foot corn crib is an anomaly , since with modern harvesting equipment the corn is shelled in the field, and a corn crib is only used if the corn ears are harvested (in past times by hand!) and stored to be shelled at a later time, which will still usually be done by powered equipment, so why not harvest the corn while it is standing in the field, already shelled and ready to feed to the animals? They obviously have tractors, why not use a combine? Also, it mentions the "full basement with poured, prefabricated concrete walls". My concept of a "poured" basement is when the concrete is brought in by the cement mixer truck and poured out of the truck to make the walls. A prefabricated wall is made off site and delivered to the construction site and simply set in place. Maybe the basement had some of each?
