Phones yes. This was a luxery afforded my family, as well as electricity for major appliances (but not electronics).

Yes, they relate differently, but not differently enough!
They probably relate like the Apostolics relate to each other after they leave "the church". Don't call us, we'll call you! And then they never do! Anyway, you are fortunate for not having been baptized before you left, otherwise, I would probably practice the Meidung anyway!! But, since you weren't baptized, we can pal around.
Heheh.
Yes, I know you liberals have phones and electricity. These English actually think you guys are Amish just because you drive a horse and buggy! Ha!
And, yes, you are English now, plain and simple. You have to watch it on that Pennsylvania Dutch. You know I wasn't raised this way and I guess at what you said! I can use a google translator on German but it doesn't work real well.
Why do you ask if this is a fake pic? Do you really think I would wear that hang-down thingy they think is a kapp? Also, that woman looks like she has on a T-Shirt and patterned cloth like a Mennonite! It was one of the only pictures I could find that I thought looked pretty good. Looks like I will have to change it! I didn't think these English would care or that anyone would ever notice! Gotta abstain from the appearance of evil even to someone who went fancy on us.
As for my conservativeness, I am almost downright Swartzentruber.
