    An Amish family was ordered to use an electric pump for their outhouse, even though it goes against their religious beliefs.https://usat.ly/2D7fb6V

        Perhaps they could switch to a composting toilet instead?

        Interesting that the ACLU would represent this couple, but not the Christian bakers who would not bake a cake for a gay wedding ceremony that violated their religious beliefs.

        Do some research. Has ZERO to do with religion. They pray to the same God as those that do so too. Has everything to do with their personal belief that modern conveniences erode the family. They drink too. Lived amongst them for 7 years.

        I could care less about the Amish. They are the worst perpetrators of the puppy mill industry. I’ve lost all respect for them after the Humane Society has made public what they do.

        Their sewage issue may be a public health issue as well. This can effect drinking water in the area. They may not have a choice other than condemning the house.

        Some of these tweets you have to laugh at...now the township knows Amish people do not use modern technology, so why would you tell this. It appears the township will find any way it can to make money.

        Amish are not against electricity such as generators. They are against public utilities. Trust me I live in an Amish community.

        Sorry, why do we care what the Yoder family is doing? If they're on their land it's their issue. However, if the State is so insisting on this, then the State should pay the bill.

        No no no no no. No municipal entity should be allowed to force people to go against their sincerely held religious beliefs.

        Was Yoder family living on the property before sewage system existed? Did outhouse cause problems for the city? Noticed at end of news story, it was stated the decision would be used as precedence (against the Amish).
