mommato3boys Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ok Amish Mofia...nope does not compute. Guess I will just have to watch the sneak preview on Dec 11 at 9:30CT Quote Link to comment
lumabean Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think anything "mafia" is horrible. Esp. to attribute that negative term to the Amish -- I think it's ... well, not something good. The Amish and violence? The Amish and organized crime violence? It doesn't seem as though it goes together. When I saw this mentioned in another post the other day, i googled, and wowza, is this show ... rough is the nicest way I can put it. I saw this article on it http://lancasteronline.com/article/local/777587_Discovery-Channel-s-next-reality-series---Amish-Mafia-.html From what I gather from the article, this is a group of troubled men who are *not* part of the Amish community. They're thugs in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
gofish Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I do know drugs and alcohol are a problem in my community among the Amish. I also know they have a rehab unit just for the Amish locally. Do I believe a group of thugs going around seeking retribution? NO I don't. I found the link on Facebook where 99% of the my friends are Mennonite. They don't believe it ether. They did have a good laugh about it. Quote Link to comment
Twilight Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Does this go beyond the beard and hair cutting then that has caused problems recently. Amish and mennonites do believe differently! Twilight Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 We're sorta of the opinion that it may be a few renagades that are looking for a "reason to fight" and really have no relationship to any of the old order religious groups, but still plan to tune in. Quote Link to comment
