"Breaking Amish" TV show on TLC

by loading in

has anyone seen this show yet?

it was really hard for me to watch the first episode in its entirety.

it's so hard to see these young people have to decide between their family/religion vs. freedom or be shunned from everything/one.. or... maybe it's because this is my life?

im just now starting to watch this. their rules on shunning are actually more relaxed it seems than JWs!

one amish lady only got shunned for 6 weeks for sleeping with a taxi driver!

A wife's submission

by Mark_C in

i'm relatively new to the faith, and struggle with many concepts and teachings.

i am getting married soon.

part of the teaching i've experienced is that a wife must learn submission to her husband.

**gcakes stands up and applauds phizzy :D**

ive always thought what if it was a little different, like imagine this scenario (hypothetical):

what if instead of subordinating women, they were trying to subordinate a whole race of people, and that youre best friend in the whole world was of that race. how would you i feel? should you pause and ask is this loving? is this even humane? is it possible things were lost in translation or mistranslated. also keep in mind that the writers of these supporting scriptures had a vested interest in writing those things. if it were as i describe here (subordination by race instead of gender) we would say of course its disgusting and inhumane. why do do many tolerate it when its gender based? and they inflict it on those they supposedly love so dearly?

its just so rediculous and awful.

not a bad prediction, OLNS. i could totally see them doing a cain & able...and/or one babie dies. BABY ZOMBIE!

I think we are also going to see the infection progress to really bad levels (near to full blown zombie) in living characters. i think thats where shane was headed before rick stabbed him. i think thats whats currently making rick turn into more of an asshole every day. when he was throwing a tantrum and screaming about " this is not a democracy!" it seemed like everyone was looking at each other like "oh s**t, hes might be turning..."
