I just did some research on the amish and found out an interesting fact.Shunning created the amish.A group of people broke away from the mennonites in germany because the mennonites would not suport the shunning doctrine.These people became the amish.As a side note, do you guys remember the 60 minutes that delt with shunning.They had amish and JW teenagers that were shunned by their parents because the wanted out of their religion.
