Amish attacking dissenters.

Saw a trailer for Amish Mafia on Discovery.

Has anybody caught that show?

Sounds preposterous.

Not personally but I believe its "reality" status has been severely questioned, to the point of it being mostly fictional. As the show says: "re-creations are based on eyewitness accounts, testimonials and the legend of the Amish Mafia."
:rolleyes:

"Jeremiah, if thou wouldst not wish a beating upon thy brow verily enough to bringst thou to stand in front of our Lord and Savior, then hasten thou to thy house and fetch me all thy silver. If ye not, thinkest thou that thy barn mayhap go a'burnin'."
 
This is local news for me, so I hear all about it. They're now claiming that being imprisoned apart from one another and outside of OH is cruel and unusual punishment. IIRC, Mullet Sr. got 15 years over this.

Unfortunately, these are Amish, not Quakers. (Hint: they speak a German-based dialect to each other, not an Elizabethan-English-based dialect.)

German has the formal and informal voice just as English once had which is why I went that way.

But, still DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE, MAN! :( :D

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Maybe they'll get time off for good grooming.
 
Considering the hair-cutting and beatings, I was reminded of two passages from the end of the Book of Nehemiah, in which that priest took action against various Jews (emphasis added):

Neh.13:23 - 25: In those days also I saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon and Moab; and half their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and they could not speak the language of Judah, but the language of each people. And I contended with them and cursed them and beat some of them and pulled out their hair; and I made them take oath in the name of God, saying, "You shall not give your to their sons or take your daughter for your sons or for yourselves.

Neh. 13:28 And one of the sons of Jehoiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was the son in law of Sanballat, the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.
