Re: Growing Up Amish
I have not read it, though my experience was likely somewhat similar. We were Amish light.

We did not practice "the ban" or "shunning" like the Amish do. Perhaps that is why I would describe my own experience in mostly good terms. I have never felt the need to write any sort of expose' and have a fairly good relationship with my family and Mennonite/Amish friends.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
