Are the Amish a Cult?
My line of Lantz's were originally Amish Christians. They came to new world in 1732 to avoid the religious persecution they were facing in the old country and for the desire to worship freely. For those of you who were directed to this page from researching cults let me say it is true the Amish are a cult just like the Baptist, Catholics, Methodist, and every religious denomination. To many people the word cult has the meaning of being bad, false, evil, or wrong, but in fact the Webster's definition of cult is as follows. (A system of worship, or group of worshipers - Webster's New Pocket Dictionary) As a side note I have an old 1941 Webster's that says cult also means to till the soil, this definition also fits most Amish families.
To imply that the Amish are a false religion I can not agree. I do not agree with all their beliefs and practices, but I am not aware of any denomination that does everything Gods way according to the scriptures.

The primary family's I am researching are listed below. Please drop me an Email if you have a question or, would like to provide me with any additions or corrections.
I will add all related individuals to the tree if you will send me the data in one of the following formats: Family Tree Maker 7.0,or before, or * GED *.

Do you know what abortion really is?
Abortion is the human sacrifice of innocent children to the god of this world.
Are you still supporting human sacrifice?
Ps 106:37-38 They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. (NKJ)

Repent and turn from the darkness and seek the Light. Jesus loves you!
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in the coming judgment for those who do not find the Way.

Please Don't Kill Me!

I Want to Live!

I don't want to spend eternity in hell, what must I do to be saved?
Woe to the United States of America
The shedding of innocent blood will not go un-answered.
The cup of his wrath is almost full, and will be poured out on us.
Heb 10:30-31 For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (NKJ)
