Amish Secrets - Part 1.mpg

The Amish invoke visions of beauty and mystery, but there are other more scandalous elements that remain hidden from the outside world. In her book, A Separate God, author Lucinda Streicker-Schmidt explores the premise that all is not as it seems in this very closed society.

Thank you for your comments, my friend! There is much beauty in the Amish culture, but you are right, it has the good and the bad just like the outside world . The difference is it has been hidden and NEVER talked about, and, until now, has not been acknowledged. That denial is now changing, thank God! There are MANY very Godly,spirit-filled Amish people, such as my own family who are very honorable people.

MOUTAINSTANDARD, YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG. ALICE IS A VERY GENEROUS, KIND PERSON WHO GIVES ENORMOUSLY TO HER COMMUNITY. SHE IS IN NO WAY PREJUDICED. THE COMPANY THAT SHE AND HER HUSBAND OWN EMPLOYS PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNICITIES. EVERYONE LOVES ALICE. I GET MANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS VIDEO BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS TRULY ANGERED ME.

i think she's not at all saying the amish are more violent than non-amish ... as i understand it, she's saying that amish women, if/when they do get abused, are far more helpless than those who are not amish .. because they cannot get help, they are treated like they don't really have a say in things, etc., and what's perhaps the worst of all is that they just take it and endure it because they truly don't know another way of dealing with it

Children should be well behaved and have fear but also love...Look at our kids in todays word, they are crazy , disobedient , no respect for elders. Its sad our modern world has lost all morals ~ Amish maybe strict but they are hard workers, respect others ...I hate American society they way our schools can no longer discipline .

Don't buy it. There are bad people in all cultures. Also these women sound high.

I don't know what she's talking about. ITS A NICE HOUSE! LOL!

I think this woman is full of crap! I personally know several amish people who are very honorable people who work hard to take care of there family. Part of being amish is tresting others how you want to be treated and they do a very good job at it. I have worked a many day with the amish and been around them alot and I love there way of life and how they follow pwace with all men.

This is pure crap. I have a LOT of Amish relatives and the stuff she's saying is pretty rare. Most of the children are not living in fear. And the statement made at the very beginning about her now experiencing "self actualization" is simply a code word for new age beliefs. This is an attempt to do ONE thing. make money selling a book.

Jeez, who is this highly annoying woman (the 'reporter')????

[erniehead]

All I know about Amish women is that they don't shave their underarms or legs and they wear funny old fashioned Granny underwears.
