What the outside world sees is not what it seems. Am well acquainted with some who have left the Amish community. They tell horror stories. It's all behind closed doors. I am Mennonite---Mennonite Brethren---a modern but not liberal branch. There are many,many different branches. Some are ultra conservative, and some are quite liberal---both politically and in life style. Mennonites are considered evangelical---somewhat similar to Baptists with the main difference being that most Mennonite sects are pacifists. As said in an earlier post, there are good and evil in all churches. It's hard to look past the ones who are poor examples. Joanne
