That is why it just burns me up that these nutjobs are being compared to the Amish. If you knew the respect, faith and love shown amongst the nuclear Amish family and the the Amish community you would realize that no young Amish woman you EVER be abused in such a manner.

After the shooting at the Amish schoolhouse, the parents and families of those who died reached out in the spirit of Christian forgiveness to the widow of the shooter. It was well documented. The Amish live a G-d centered, faith inspired life. They are on another planet compared to what those who have escaped FLDS have described.

The only similarity is the clothing, sort of. These in the compound did not choose to live a lifestyle of yesteryear. They were forced into a life of slavery.

The Amish only chose not to have modern conveniences. This is not the same as what’s happening in this group.
