Cold blooded christians, eh?

Wasp abuse!
Rodents???
Okay, so my people used to make these out of jars, etc, back in the day. I must admit, I'm tempted.
Peace,

What does this have to do with Christians? Amish people shouldn't kill wasps?

It may be the "pacifist" thing. People who don't know better think of some of the Old Order as being like Jainism. The cure is to go deer hunting around Lancaster or Bloomsburg.

"Eh" means "don't you think?"
You don't think drowning bugs is cold blooded, I see. Neither do I, really.
Pretty traps, don't you think? I'm spreading the word. Missioning, almost.
Gonna buy one?

Do the bugs drown? It just says they get stuck. I presume it's because they can't figure out the glass.

Your OP makes zero sense. Are all Chritisans Amish? Are the Amish "cold blooded" for using organic pest control? Who's claiming this is wasp abuse? Are the Amish "your people"? Where you drunk when you wrote this?

They'd drown in the jugs we used to use.
Sorta like these:
Bug traps, aka "bug jugs" .
Cool, huh?

No. No. Nobody, really. Yes. No.
"My people" is a term of endearment, by the way.
