There are two aspects of the “Amish way” that I personally could not abide by: Non-violence in regards to defending yourself and others, and the restriction on the playing of instruments or solo singing.
As most thoughtful people probably have, I’ve often wondered what a young Amish person does when they are born with a natural talent and calling for music. How do you go about deciding whether to join the church with these two very powerful and personal forces pulling you in different directions? In the case of The Amish Outlaws some members chose to follow their passion for music and not join the church at the traditional time in their lives.
