What if I were to tell you that there is no
such thing as an Amish Mafia?
What if the cast of the hit show “Breaking Amish”
were lying about their past?
There's a big misunderstanding about Amish; there are
a lot of false claims when it comes to Amish people. I'm
here to be the voice of truth and let people know who
the Amish really are. 
People need to know the truth
about Amish people, and that shows,
made by huge companies, are lying
to them.
You might be asking yourself, “why listen to this guy?”
People should listen to me because my family is actually
Amish and I was raised Mennonite.
The reputation of the Amish can still be saved if the truth
about these TV shows were to come out and if people were
to be educated.
The Amish people on the show “Breaking Amish” aren’t who they
say they are, Amish aren’t living like pilgrims, and other
Mennonite/Amish people don’t support these “Amish” shows.
The cast of the show “Break Amish” are not who they
say they are.
Old pictures of Breaking Amish cast member, Sabrina, surfaced
not too long after the show aired. In the show Sabrina says that
she has never been married or lived without her parents. Well
clearly that’s not the case.
This picture of “Breaking Amish” cast members, Rebecca and
Abe also appeared a few short weeks after the show came on.
They said that they never dated before, but they did live together
years before going on the show and they even have a child
together!
Amish live a more normal life than
you would think; they’re not Pilgrims.
Amish can actually have cell phones and go shopping
at places where everyone else shops.
Majority of Amish don’t farm anymore. Many Amish
own their own businesses; a lot of Amish are also very
wealthy.
Many other Amish and Mennonite people are weighing
in on these new shows and they don’t seem to be in
favor of them.
A journalist, for the Washington Post who is Mennonite
wrote an article speaking against the TV show
“Amish Mafia.” He speaks against Discovery Channel airing lies
and he sheds light on the truth that there is no such thing as
an Amish Mafia.
“Breaking Amish” wanted to film at this Amish restaurant in
Sarasota, Florida. Permission was denied because the owners and
managers, who are either Amish or Mennonite, do not
support the show.
These shows are fake and make up stories
about the Amish. These shows need to come
off of the air, and people need to know this.
- The cast of the show are lying
about their past.

- Amish people live a very normal
life much like everyone else

- Other Amish/Mennonite
people are not supporting these
shows.
There is a huge misconception of how Amish people, in America,
are viewed. With new shows like, Amish Mafia and Breaking Amish,
is quit damaging to the Amish community. If the truth doesn't come
out then the reputation of Amish people could be changed; I am
here to shed some truth on Amish people.
There’s still hope to shed new light on Amish people. The Amish
are a fascinating group of people and TV shows should be allowed
to tape them, if they desire, but these shows need to be truthful.
