This show is not fair at all to the Amish to base the disician of their livelyhood on a "pipedream" You take innocent "astranged" from the real world and place them in a mansion free of charge exploring what a rich kid would only afford and they have to base the rest of their life on that expierence. The Amish are great craftsmen and homemakers their world is small and beliefs held to the extent of their teachings. Exploit, would be a word that fits this and a real shame these simple people may make the wrong choice with the little facts they have to go on. There was a comment made by "Jona" that he would at least have a GED if he were to return and ask to be taken into the Amish church. Why would an Amish man need a high level education? He has been taught everything he will ever need to survive by his ancestors past 300 years down to him. If they are not to become part of the Amish they are considered outsiders and banished from ever socializing with their families again. What a flipping series in an injust world will have to see who makes the right choice now for sure. Well I fully agree with some of the post.

I consider them LUCKY to be removed all the crap we "English" are exposed to and must live in. Yes, they live the simple life. It's impossible for us to even imagine life without electricity, much less TV and computers. They are a people who support each other, live by the word of God, and have the sense to allow their children to live among us to get it out of THEIR systems. No wonder virtually all who partake in "rumspringer" (to go wild) go back to Amish life for good - and I mean that literally.

The main idea I was trying to get across was that the television program started horribly and its purpose was to do an experiment on people. It lacks compassion and character.

Written at the beginning, i would not start reading it. Im coming from germany and we dont have something like the amish here but i have heard a lot of them. why not? I would not like to live that way but there are a lot guys around in the world that are more dangerous then them. hi,
