But really. I know they want to look plain, but hasn't anyone told them an orange triangle is ugly not decoration. It is just plain ugly.

Also, I don't remember the Bible saying we can't wear orange triangles. In fact, I'm sure of it.; September 15, 2011 at 1:48 PM

I'm assuming they are old order Amish if they were bucking the system over use of safety triangles on the buggies. Old Order Amish definitely don't dig having their pictures taken. It's contrary to a tenent of their faith. Not only the whole "graven image" thing... they also consider it the sin of Pride having one's picture taken.; September 15, 2011 at 6:48 PM
