Amish girls gone wild March 19, 2007
Posted by Al in : educational,interesting , trackbackSounds like a terrible porn film, but this is actually an interesting article on what being Amish means, and how the Amish children deal with their lack of modern amnities. I find it quite refreshing to find that in a country where fundamentalist Christians are gaining more and more power, the Amish, well known for being fundamental in their view of modern conveniences such as electricity, are actually a far more lenient sect than you would imagine. They allow their children time to try out external influences, and although they may pile family pressure on to the children to remain Amish, they are also willing to let their kids leave their faith if that’s what they really want. I have a lot of respect for the Amish, as their way of life must be getting harder and harder as the world becomes ever more technical. So to find that they are actually quite liberal is a pleaseant surprise.
