It was like they didn't know how to reach a balance. They did attend a church in New York City though - a black Spirit filled group and they seemed to like it.

It did remind me of the way a lot of people act when they first leave UPC. It's like they swing over to the extremes and get goofy.
I wonder if this is the show you are thinking of. It almost sounds to me like you are thinking of Breaking Amish, which I do not like. It seems pretty fakey and these people REALLY go off the edge.

In Out of Order, the boys are drinking and going too far, that is true. So far, I have seen only one girl who left and I am very impressed with her. She is keeping some morals and just seems like a really good person.

I agree when many of them leave they go off the deep end. Those are also the ones they love to show on TV. I think there are also many who do not, just like there are both kinds that leave the UPC. Yes, some do go very off the deep end...
