Just seen a clip for next weeks programme - wasn't it inevitable that they would succumb to fags and booze whilst at a festival..? They are teenagers after all....

I am recording it and haven`t seen it. I`m surprised the Amish community have let their young people come over here and be exposed to temptation. Should be interesting to see what happens next
Hippy saw bits of it,but its just a reflection of british teenagers...
We have a religious school near us, not sure what it is
I understand that they are actually allowed to. When Amish kids get to teenage they are allowed to leave the community and experience life outside it THEN choose whether to join the community or stay outside.
But then what's after fags and booze?Ill tell you what sex drugs pregnancies and prisons!
How come if they are so insular and out of the main stream that one of them, when asked if they knew JFK, they replied 'doesn't ring a bell' seemed an odd choice of phrase to me.
Tonights teens looked ok....but next weeks look like a bunch of selfish brats...we'll see. LOL
That's an old phrase dot......SOME of the outside creeps in.
whats it called and what channel is it on - sound interesting.

It was a couple of years ago wasn`t it when there was that mass murder in the Amish community? Might have been more recent than that. I remember seeing footage of the elders of the community travelling home by their horse and trap. It was so bizarre because it could have been a picture from 100 years ago.

Really SJ.. They were saying the last crime was when someone pinched a toffee from grannys house...!!! no mentioned of mass murder!!!
The Amish have a market in I think it`s Boston, or might be Philladelphia - can`t remember. Funny how they don`t want to interact with the outside world, but they do when they can sell something and make some money
The Amish have a reputation for excellent craftsmanship,and they still need to find ways to survive in the modern world. If there is a demand for their goods-and there is-why shouldn't they sell them?

The Amish have no worry about interaction, they allow themselves to be photographed for money.

What thedo reject is technology. No phones, TV, electricity even.
