As long as you don't know their language, John Hardly, you don't know the Amish. Nothing personal nor am I putting them down - or you. They have many good qualities- I used to say that as a lifestyle, it was ideal, but to raise a kid in it was a crime. There is/was no way to win- if a kid rebelled against the parents or questioned the religion they were rebelling against God. It's a very patriarchal religion.

And that's just part of it.
