Growing Up Amish
Especially for Hoovie--
I just finished a book called "Growing Up Amish". Very interesting read, and actually lots of similarities to growing up UPC. I don't mean that in a negative way - it just was interesting and made me think.
I wondered if Hoovie would relate to this book.

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.

Re: Growing Up Amish
This guy had really good things to say about the Amish, even though he didn't agree with them anymore. He is now Mennonite. You should read it; you would get a kick out of a lot of it!

Ok I'll get it! Thanks!
I should say... My upbringing was not progressive Mennonite, but very much like the Old Order Amish in lifestyle. Speaking German, Horse and Buggy mode of transportation, ultra plain Dress etc.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Yes, the way they would talk about them leaving and becoming Mennonite reminded me so much of Apostolics saying "they went Charismatic". Ha! There were a lot of the same emotions involved.
