Most of it was an act - and 2-3 have married / divorced and have children so their "ages" are questionable. It's all set up to seem real. I first became wary when one of the first things out of Jeremiah's mouth was a four-letter word. The real Amish just wouldn't immediately pick up cursing..............it's shameful what TV shows and channels do for ratings.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029360379917456023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-71320155627990468212012-11-01T14:10:52.883-07:002012-11-01T14:10:52.883-07:00Thank you for this blog- I also have known Amish p...Thank you for this blog- I also have known Amish people all my life- good sweet - God fearing people. The true Amish would not go to a strip club- true Amish do not run down the other people that are Amish- they are all like one big family- they take care of each other!!! I have also known the Amish I know dont want a camera stuck up in their face- they are not trying to get attention like the ones were on Breaking Amish. And yes I do think they were somewhat taken advantage of- because Amish will not sue- and the producers and writers and photographers know that!!! One thing I also know the last thing an Amish person wants to do is embarrass the rest of the people of their faith!!! virginialover4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165503586049088233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-35280588655513279972012-11-01T12:59:53.340-07:002012-11-01T12:59:53.340-07:00Unfortunately the requested video you linked to wa...Unfortunately the requested video you linked to was not available.<br />Greetings,<br /><br />Jeanneke.Jeannekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299956505489827810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-48795456468885425532012-11-01T12:30:26.112-07:002012-11-01T12:30:26.112-07:00I watched a little of breaking Amish and was so di...I watched a little of breaking Amish and was so disgusted with it. I don't watch it at all now. It was very degrading to the real Amish people. I don't know how anyone can watch this show at all. And hope that no one continues to watch it.

I have watched the other show where the kids leave their communities and where one girl wanted to join the Amish. Personally I was appalled by what I saw. Kids drinking, smoking, cussing, driving too fast in their first car. One of the young men died, another almost died. I won't watch again. Too heartbreaking<br /><br />Cathy WeberAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943231685541039642noreply@blogger.com
