They don't let outsiders (Jews) join, or else they'd be LBGTQ-Tranny faggot commies already.

If not, it can be a good way to avoid the shot by joining their community.
Godspeed! We'll miss you.

The Amish will defeat this the same way they defeated the IRS - they bartered and only banked with themselves, telling the IRS to fuck off.
The IRS, realizing they couldn't win against this strategy - and even more importantly that if everyone else realized they could collectively say no to the IRS it would be game over.. decided to give the Amish an "exemption" from the rules!
How graceful of the IRS to give the Amish an exemption for something the Amish refused to do and the IRS couldn't possibly enforce. So benevolent. So wise.
If only the sheep would recognize that every aspect of these systems of control are VOLUNTARY when 99.99% of the population are being tyrannized by 0.01%.
If only the sheep weren't fucking sheep.

You don’t really join an Amish community. You get born into it, and leave it.

You can join. It's just VERY difficult. Varying levels of difficulty depending on their specific local laws, but it's not impossible. The hardest part is accepting that your not joining a church like going from baptist to Methodist. Amish is literally a lifestyle. And there's no wiggle room

Yes. You can but you don’t really.

Depends on the order. When you’re jerked over, some won’t allow it.

Electric Amish have cell phones. They just can’t take them into the house.

Correct. The usage of technology depends on the community. Many, for instance, use electricity in their trades. They're not cutting wood with hand saws, for the most part.

Talks about joining Amish, doesn't know their lifestyle.

Yes. They consider everything, and I mean everything, that isn't manual labour a luxury and thus is banned as sloth. Only tools allowed are the ones which are necessary, but none that make things easy. Of course, I only have a surface level on the amish.

There are lots of orders, each with different rules. Some are strict to the point where wheelbarrows aren’t allowed, others let their people own cell phones.

No. And they don't wear masks in public either.

They wouldn't fall into any of the required groups unless they happen to work at a larger company (like a large dairy or something). Because of this they wouldn't need any special exemption.
Starting a new religious group is probably a way out, but we know what the ATF thinks about those. I guess it depends if the current situation consolidates more power in the federal government or in the states.
