For instance, the book The Amish People reports that they “restrict their physical appearance because they feel that any member who has a lively interest in worldly appearance is threatened, since [that] interest should be focused upon spiritual considerations rather than physical.
Näiteks teatab raamat The Amish People, et nad „seavad oma füüsilisele välimusele piirangud, sest nad arvavad, et iga liige, kel on elav huvi ilmaliku välimuse vastu, on ohus, sest [see] huvi peaks olema suunatud vaimsele, mitte füüsilisele kasule.
