Well spoken. I have the documentary on DVD. I was very surprised that the Amish would allow such a time for their children. Whether they jump into the world as seen in the documentary or do something of a lessor nature that is yet wrong, it is as if the wrongdoing is endorsed by the group. I cannot fathom allowing young kids to partake in this. Giving them space to decide if they want to join the Amish community is one thing, deliberately giving them an okay to do things they have taught against is totally another. To me, it's mind boggling.
