Amish Confidential

Amish Confidential

Go behind the beards in this daring insiderâ€™s look at the curious Amish subculture of Pennsylvania Dutch Country!

Is the â€œplain and simpleâ€ life really so plain and simple? How do the Amish live without cars? Electricity? NFL football? The truth is, they donâ€™t. More than fifty million people have watched â€œLebanonâ€ Levi Stoltzfus in Discovery Channelâ€™s hit show Amish Mafia, where he dispenses justice and keeps the peace among the seemingly quiet, insular Amish people of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Now, he reveals what itâ€™s really like to be Amish. Not the buggies, bonnets, and beards image the tight-knit community has portrayed for hundreds of years to the relentless curiosity of outsiders. The real-deal, day-to-day lifeâ€”the good and the badâ€”all the dirty little secrets youâ€™re not supposed to know. From Wi-Fi â€œpleasure huts,â€ to prostitutes, to marijuana and cocaine, youâ€™ll never look at the Amish the same.

It isnâ€™t easy keeping your feet planted firmly in the 1800s when the rest of the world is centuries ahead. Not even for the most God-fearing among us. The Amish have their own unique way of doing everything, and the lengths they will go to indulge in modern conveniencesâ€”and hide their indiscretionsâ€”will shock you. What have you been dying to know? How about what really happens when someone is shunned? Or whether the Amish pay taxes? Do they ever try to â€œpassâ€ as English (in other words, non-Amish)? How rampant is illicit sex in such a repressed society? Can individuals make themselves stand out despite the strict rules? Why would the Amish take such risks when the punishment is eternal damnation?

â€œLebanonâ€ Levi blows the top off the buggy with this scandalous insiderâ€™s exposÃ©, proving that even the Amish donâ€™t always practice what they preach.
