I just finished watching the video of the show and I am very surprised that the Amish is a cult just like the JWs and the Mormons and so on.
It was a real eye opener.
I'm glad the main person Ephram was able to find the real truth about the Amish cult and found the real Truth and that is Jesus Christ.
He got ex-communicated for many reasons.
Reading the bible in English other than their standard bible which is in German, in which case alot of them can't understand it. Reading a non-german language bible is forbidden. (sounds like a control group)
He also was booted for preaching the Gospel of Jesus (the Amish don't learn from the bible that Jesus is the way to Salvation, but from good works and people fear death worrying they won't find favor with God. But since Ephram found Jesus and got saved, he got booted for that too.)
Prayer meetings is also forbidden, something he said about encouraging demons into their lives, etc. Not 100% sure why, I need to watch the video again.
The Amish has so many rules that it's ridiculously just like the Pharasees who make up rules all the time.
It was interesting to see Ephram getting into some electronics which is strictly forbidden. He got himself a land phone and a cell phone. Something the Amish forbids, something about making contact with the demonized world or something. Really weird.
This whole thing about the Amish is very facinating and yet disturbing at the same time.
Have any of you seen it? What are your thoughts on it.
Reniaa needs to see this video too, I am very sure she will find alot of simularities with the JWs.
