I love the Amish church / culture. I do not think I would like to do it myself but I have so much respect for the people in that way of life. I watched a television program that said their church service is at least 3 hours long and they sing their songs slowly with no music. They also eat together every Sunday.

I've also been interested in their culture and style of worship, but I have never had the opportunity to witness it in person. The closest I have ever seen is passing a buggy on the road in Pennsylvania. ; )
What channel was this program on?

I love them too. However, it's important not to idealize them. There are awesome, dedicated Christians in the Amish church, and there are not-so-great people in the Amish church. They have some great ideas, and some not-so-great ideas.
Also, the Amish are not monolithic. There are many varieties, and many styles of leadership. Some Amish churches are almost cultlike, and others are essentially Evangelical, with the addition of their particular culture and uniform dress.

I was watching RFD when it came on. We have some Amish here in Missouri but mostly we have Mennonite. I love going to the Mennonite store to buy my baking supplies. They have the best pastry wheat flour. They also sell homemade pre sliced bread.
