Amish in the City: This show is painfully slow, but every now and then something peaks my interest. In this episode, I was struck by
Ruth's comparison of getting out of the gang life to
rumspringa and finally leaving the Amish way of life. It's like my wife said: they need a halfway house; a place where they can support each other through the transition. This rite of passage is a loaded game. No wonder so many kids come back; they're set up to fail.
