Quote from Good1:
Yes, there's something to be said for uniformity. It's probably why the Amish try to establish uniformity. They may see it as reducing problems. But they, like the advice initially given in this thread, are trying to play both sides. To be human, to be a person, to be an angel, pretty much everything the Amish believe in is about preserving a sense of unique status. Finding this to be problematic, they have resorted to compromise measures, so every man wears his suspenders the same, ect. It's not a solution. Its a band-aide. The Amish use Jesus to save their sense of unique status, as do most everyone else who uses the name of Jesus. Again, this is exactly opposite what he taught. And as i've emphasized, the only way to be the same is to really be the SAME! The only way to achieve that is to Be the Being that is Good as Self. If that means being equal to the highest possible Being, so be it!
Be well,

BTW, my friend recently put his liquid cash into Vanguard Wellesley Income.
You can only be equal to God by quality,not by quantity.He is plenty and you are a little plop.And you are unique,that's true,everyone is.
