Star Trek Amish?

There's a DS9 episode called Paradise with people without technology, by choice.
Well, by one person's choice. They decided to keep living on the planet at the end, but I bet they at least used medical technology when somebody was sick.
Of course, ironically their leader used technology to set up a dampening field to prevent other technology from working.
Yes, but they later consented to it. It's basically the same argument as when parents tell their child: "You'll thank me later."^ Weren't the people in that episode basically tricked into living in a non-technological state?
Looking at this subject through the other end of the telescope, I wonder what the real Amish would think of Star Trek. I'm afraid most of them aren't even aware of the show and are just doing without.
I think Amish are supposed to know nothing and I mean nothing about anything requiring even a little bit of technology. So even if they learned by accident of star-trek it would be as opaque to them as a light bulb or a coffee machine.
Peaceniks, won't commit acts of violence themselves. But perfectly willing to have one of their women seduce a guy with access to powerful weapons who will then fight for them.

Yeah, but like I said, I bet next time somebody was mortally ill they used technology to cure them.
I've never heard of such a thing.

Unless they decided to leave the dampener on as the guy said they might, in the end of the episode.Yes, but they later consented to it.

For a little while, until a new tyrant takes over and they won't have any choice...But they know it exists, where it is, and how to turn it on and off.

And thus, why women are more dangerous than men. You'll never see them coming, until it's too late.
