Why do amish have such high birth rates?

[hotman5]

i am obsessed with them, but what makes them birth out so many childeren? their obviously having lots of intimacy, i mean?

[jshm2]

They don't. Just as African women don't.

The "birth rate" alone is a rather erroneous figure. The facts are that while they may give birth to more, fewer kids actually survive to adulthood. So they aren't "increasing" the population any more than other groups. They have poorer maternity and paediatric care, so require that higher birth rate as fewer kids will survive due to many local factors.

[Garud]

some religious followers think that giving birth to as many kids as possible without caring about their future and quality of life because the almighty one has given these children to them and will take care of them and using condom is unnatural
by doing this they are expanding their religion in number and will go to heaven/bahishta

[hotman5]

are you hindu if so i have a question , how is it possible that y'all believe in multiple infinite size gods when woudnt that obviously make them overlap each other?

[Garud]

No, we use religion differently. Culturally, by design, it is designed to give individual identity more than group identity.
Everyone is different, everyone cannot believe in the same way.
This will make many people feel isolated.
This will lead to differences in society and a lack of harmony.
Everyone's participation is needed to keep the internal moral level of society under control.

Therefore, a methodology has been created that gives people the freedom to believe in the way that works best for them.
For example, believe in nature or other humans, believe in the sky or fire, believe in nothing or believe in what you can feel through your senses, believe only in yourself or the people around you, believe in one or believe in many, believe in a form or relationship or believe only in a point of light.
It is up to the user, as long as the belief serves its purpose of giving mental peace and social activities.

It's very simple. They marry young and don't use birth control. Even if they only had sex 10 times a year that would be enough for s fertile young woman to have a child every year for the next 20 years.

Take me, I married at 16 and gave birth nearly 9 months after the wedding night and got pregnant again a month after giving birth.

No birth control. I seen a Amish woman in the hospital having a baby the same time I was there having my son. She had lots of family and what i assume were her older childern in the waiting room

[KostasKouvalis]

I thought Amishes don't believe in modern hospitals. I thought they renounced all modern technology, which includes modern medicine

[Apple1996]

@KostasKouvalis some of them do have technology and go to the hospital. Many of them were voting this year to lol

[Apple1996]

@KostasKouvalis the Amish in my town are often at auto zone which is funny because they don't have cars but I guess it's cuz they get batteries for their tractors 😂

[KostasKouvalis]

Well, people voted back in the old days before technology. And yeah, they voted for Trump. His ass kissing trips to Amish country really paid off.

LMAO, that's cheating. They should be using an old fashioned plow. Either a plow or slaves.

I recently read an entire family got poisoned after eating the wrong mushrooms and they called 9/11. I was like, they didn't have phones or 9/11 in the old days.

I mean whatever, it's fine. But MY issue is, they shouldn't claim to be against all modern technology, when they aren't.

[KostasKouvalis]

The funny thing about the Amish, is I saw a video from a French tourist who visited an Amish village and she didn't understand why Americans made such a sensation out of them, because in rural France almost everyone lives like that. lol

[Apple1996]

@KostasKouvalis yep they all voted Trump 😵

[Apple1996]

@KostasKouvalis and yeah idc what they do but it is a interesting lifestyle. Their Amish shops are cool af. I like going their for fresh produce 😋

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, Trump knows who's ass to kiss to get votes

I haven't been to one like that but we have an Amish furniture store in my town. Though they're actually Mennonites, but "Mennonite Furniture Store" doesn't have such a nice ring to it

[KostasKouvalis]

Apparantly those Amish shows are fake though, because real Amishes don't allow themselves to be filmed

[Apple1996]

@KostasKouvalis omg those Amish shows are so annoying lol I always assumed they had to be faked

[Agape93]

No birth control or abortion allowed, and prolific levels of incestuous rape

[brayden2010]

they got nothing better to do then do it lol

[Fireguy17]

Workrs for the farm, and to help keep their way of life going.

[KostasKouvalis]

They're horny, but their religion says they're only allowed to fuck for reproduction purposes.

[RedInnocent69]

Religion and agrarian living. It would be no different if you went back 100+ years for any community.

[Anonymous]

No birth control?🤣 I’m sorry but that’s the obvious answer

[Anonymous]

They don’t use birth control.

[dustybiker2]

[Kelley1]
