I have not heard of any arranged marriges. Discipline can be harsh - yes.

Some are not saintly - yes.

There were some that got into the cocaine - but it was'nt known or condoned by church leadership prior to the bust, and the main players were not Amish members.

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
