The Amish Bishop's Daughter

worrying

[MsPollywogg]

Some people may say that this kind of stuff happens in all societies, however, in the mainstream, a woman has more of a chance and is not trapped in quite the same way as is in the closed society of the Amish... I've actually heard that there is a lot of abuse going on... I don't think their goal of separating from society to become closer to God is working.

[MrTodd198126]

Wishing you the best in your cause from Hull, England.

[pupsenok]

Abuse is everywhere and not only amongst the Amish. It is wrong to single out the Amish as either better or worse than the outside world.

[strawberryseason]

You are very brave to come on here and to tell the truth about what happened to you. I think we non-Amish tend to see Amish life as idyllic but in fact, the Amish community has some of the same problems as the English community.

[gatsu2005]

This video only tells me humans are shed.

[aniwaya38]

oh yes and also where is this website?

[aniwaya38]

Ok FIRST!!!!! before i even hear this, Amish DO NOT RAPE their kids!!! I know that!!

AMISH DO NOT USE PUTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know PA amish well!! they do not have phone or puters how can they have a puter with no electric? If YOU are Amish and doing this you are breaking your law of religion.. That you have to confess in front of the church you did this or get shun. that means you have to leave the Amish.. So do i think is is a hoax SADLY yes!!

[strawberryseason]

aniwaya38, why do you deny that there is abuse in Amish families???

The Amish have the same problems in their culture that non-Amish have.

[MrTodd198126]

@aniwaya38 You illiterate ahole, they are SO genuine, yes the have a website. You dumb fool, they are using computers so they can help abused Amish.

[primordial27]

wait... if they're not into technology.. why do they have a website??

[NDNgirl4ever]

The people who run the site left the Amish church. They are no longer Amish, an therefore they can use technology.

[faeryquene]

Heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your sad story. God Bless you.

[cloudberry121]

I feel so sorry for the lady in the video. I am very impressed with her bravery and her strength to help save other children from sexual abuse.

She is a very good lady.

[shootyouonceandgone]

mrdeleted & that other loser I forgot who that cow was name but the nexts time you talk shit about my sister. I will tear you ass apart. You try talking on the phone while writing online with a 6 year old non stop talking. Your writing skills would be mess up to. It has nothing to do with my sis spelling it's do to doing 4 things at the same time. Not only that you said you make the same mistakes yourself so who the hell do you think you are to talk. I would shut the fuck up if I where you.

[Dianna469]

only shows others how LAME YOU ARE and how stupid your also being. If you dont want to beleive me in what I said about my background then dont but to leave nasty remark like you did is only making you look very bad GROW UP your what 59 years old which you do look like that age and your actting like a %^%$%^ 12 yr old boy.Time for you to get your head together and act like a real man

[mariostud]

I went to a gay pride parade recently, and I really didn't see anyone who was truly happy underneath the drunkent and drug-induced girating and sexual exploits. I saw mostly self-loathing and hostility.

[mariostud]

Look at child molestation with priests. But not all do that. Mostly it's media hype. We like to think Amish are perfect so we can have this bucolic image of them, but they are people. Some have mental illnesses. They even have special facilities for Amish mentally ill. Truth is, however, I would think you find more happy people among the Amish than in the general population.

[mariostud]

Why is everyone expecting Amish to be so different from everyone else, especially the Amish? Amish firstly is a religion that has strict adherence to certai parts of Bible. People are individuals. There are good and bad everywhere.

[wickeym]

ya machts gut

[amishguy666]

The prevalence of sexual abuse in the Amish community will no longer go unnoticed! After suffering the devastation of sexual abuse myself at only 8 years, I vow never to rest until I can ensure the sexual safety of each and every one of these beautiful children! God Bless!!

[mrdeleted]

good!

[HamonLord]

God Bless the Amish!

[Dianna469]

nieckq grow up stop hassling me about things you dont know what your talking about. You need to geta life then coming on here bulling people.

[freefalln329]

HI..I am intrigued by your story and am sorry this happened to you. You did not deserve this. I hope legislation or some kind of rules are past that the Amish have to abide by just like the English people.

[Proctor1992]

I went to your website and signed the petitition!. I am glad that there are Amish people who are willing to stand up about abuse in their community (like there is in every community) even against the backlash of others.I wish you good luck! :)

[CoutureCallie]

I didn't think you 'people' had computers. Is amish people the only thing that matters to you? There are other children getting abused out there... just not amish.

[Dianna469]

Child abuse is everywhere. Even I grew up in a family like that. It's one of the reason why I'm a PH docter and I work with DSS in MA for children who have been beaten and rape

[AmishGirl12]

did they teach you how to spell in med school?

[Dianna469]

AmishGirl12 ever thought it was mindnihgt when I wrote that and I was falling asleep. Well not matter I thought you where 2 face and ver rude. Let me guess you like judging people dont you? Maybe you should think before post a remark like that. There is always a reason

[mrdeleted]

While I agree with you I had to laugh reading "I'm a PH docter", so when you post on youtube you may want to prove-read your posts from now on. There are always rude people on here who will take any opportunity to be rude at you if you don't. And with over 1.7 million people watching my videos, I have med my share already!

[Dianna469]

mrdeleted who are you kidding hafe a lot people on here miss spell words all the and the other hafe dont evern spell out the words at all. not only that you try to hit the buttons while holeding a newborn in your arms. and mrdeleted talking about rude people would it be ok if i added you to that list kowing that you like judge people without not knowing the all the facts MMMM can I ?

[Dianna469]

in what you said i found childish, immature in many leavels of making rude remark about how other people writing skills with out not knowing why on their other end. which is only making you look like fool of lacking judgment of common sense.

[mrdeleted]

I was not making fun of you, really, I have made the same mistakes myself, and was more or less laughing at myself and mistypng in general... but i have learned to be careful not to get caught in these people's traps, by googling the word if

i don't know it.

[Dianna469]

then i take everything back in what I said I was taking things has if you where being like that good to know you where not. I dont trust many people in this world mostly online

[thegirl44]

Dianna, anyone reading your comments can tell that you, someone of US origin, haven't grasped the basics of the English language and therefore cannot be a "PH Doctor".

You've dedicated 80 percent of your profile to calling out "haters". Perhaps if you were honest in your comments people wouldn't "hate on you". So called "haters" are, usually, very perceptive people who can smell bullshit from a mile away. Try being honest, I can guarantee you that the "hater" attacks will disappear.

[Dianna469]

you know you really should leave your childish remarks to yourself and stop hating on others mrdeleted , I don't give a rats ass what you think about me but to keep talking and making up lies about my back ground when you dont know jack shit about me,

[Dianna469]

His Amish treat me has if I was one of their birth children. We go out to his family farm twice a year in Penn to help out with the planting each spring and fall. My children love going out and once you see my kids with their 49 cousins you would never think twice about WHAT IF ! You would look and say Cool and that would be the end of the subject and life goes on. Now if you ask me would I join the Amish I would say OH YES FOR SURE I WOULD! they are loving people and I love them!

[silentbutdeadlysword]

how is an amish allowed have a youtube account and use a camera?

[Dianna469]

not all Amishs people do the same thing Some are able to have more freedom then others are, My husband was Amish and he still is and he ended up marring me and Im a native indiana Mormon woman.

[AmishGirl12]

No really, where DID you learn how to spell (or not spell) in your case?! LOL!!

[Dianna469]

you know AmishGirl12 your noting but another you tube hater I toled you I was falling alseep when I wrote that. anyone's spelling would be ^&^%$% mess up when their head is about hite the table. Gez where did you get your stupid rudeness from on your father side or your mother's. I'm not going to wast my time with a little air head like your self.

[sigmund5]

You converted and became part of an Amish church? Very interesting. I did my research in the Shipshi area...is that your area?

[catherinetodd]

God bless you for the work you are doing, saving children. I wish someone had been able to save me. And I grew up Catholic!

[CoolLikeMiles]

I know all about rape in the Amish community. My Amish neighbor raped a then 15-year-old girl and got her pregnant. To keep the incident quiet the community made the two of them get married.

The man went on to sexually molest his own children and other children in the neighborhood. A truly disgusting individual.

[Amishdeception]

Yes, that is the way ordnung is within our Amish Culture.

It does not matter if you were raped or not if you are pregnant you will have to get married to whom ever got you pregnant.

[ldstruth65]

no weirder than a ex jehovah witness who is a lds but was a born and raised jew

[siljak20]

What?? Are the Amish allowed to use the internet??

[Sourpencil]

hahahahahhaha

[ldstruth65]

no way our life is that bad maybe urs was but not mine i am glad i am a beachy menonite

[intellajintblonde]

what's your sn? are the first 3 letters L D S ? sorry it's just weird that you're menonite and your sn has LDS in it... I'm LDS.

[5748259898]

Bullshit lady!! I grew up amish an i know better!! Maybe in some places there might be a little. But your making it sound really bad!! All your tryin to do is make a cple extra BUCKS!!! Du setch da hinna end di kicked hava fa des!!!!!

[Amyjay1059]

so wat if ur grew up amish doesnt mean youve seen everything in the amish culture.this lady is trying to make a difference NOT make a couple bucks!

oh and if u think amish is so great then why r u on a computer dickhead!

[5748259898]

Wow that was exactly my point.. This was your statement ((so wat if ur grew up amish doesnt mean youve seen everything in the amish culture)) AND THIS WAS MINE ((Maybe in some places there might be a little but your makin it sound really bad))) OO AND when did i ever say amish is so great!!! BITCH!!

[freedomlost2007]

My heart goes out to this woman. Being a woman myself, I understand quite a bit of this. Even in Non Amish culture this is a severe problem.

[LilMeg212]

oh my, poor thing she is very brave to do that. God Bless you Ma'am!

[pcmiller]

Glad to see this lady have the courage to speak out. Most won't. No doubt there will be ramifications for her to say these things. My question is: what about her brother-in-law? Has he been prosecuted. Or is that just brushed over and excuse?

[FUACLU]

brushed over. It can't be investigated if its never reported. Futhermore, even if it's reported, the woman have to cooperate with authorities in which case she'll be excommunicated or asked to leave the Amish. Even her family will turn against her. Nice hu?
