Because the Amish Mafia doesn't have direct dealing with the church, they do not have to operate within its jurisdiction.

 

They use cell phones, drive Cadillac SUVs, and tote guns to carry out what they believe is the law.

 

Jolin, a Mennonite, is described as 'military foot soldier' in the pilot episode, set to air December 12. Many Amish sects are wary of 'English' laws, and will not report crimes to recognized authority figures.

 

That leaves it to Levi and his cronies to seek justice for the meek and the mild.

 

The Mennonite division is slightly less strict than many Amish sects, which the show says allows him to do Levi's 'dirty work.'

 

In addition, Levi and his three mafia members – John, Jolin, and Alvin – cannot be punished by church elders. Their philosophy is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

 

In the case of a woman whose buggy was destroyed by a reckless driver, Jolin took the matter into his own hands. He tracked the man who hit the Amish woman's buggy and fired a single shot through the empty car's window.

 

Damn, those Amish.

*** Hope this post ingratiates me to the "Amish Mafia". I just had rodents chew out the wiring on my VSC module and it's gonna cost me almost $500.00 to get it fixed. Don't need Levi sending someone to shoot out the windows ! Oh , wait , I have full glass coverage. ** I take this all back !

I wonder if they use S@W .40 calibers ? Watch what you say Bill, I have some "Amish" friends

When good Amish go bad.

 

Before you know it they will be taking orders for unpasteurized milk  at DC farmers markets. 

 

 

 

Feds sting Amish farmer selling raw milk locally

 

A yearlong sting operation, including aliases, a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and surreptitious purchases from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, culminated in the federal government announcing this week that it has gone to court to stop Rainbow Acres Farm from selling its contraband to willing customers in the Washington area.

The product in question: unpasteurized milk.

I would be more worried about the "little people".

I'm calling bullshit on this one.

Theres another show, "Breaking Amish" which portrays "Amish teens" leaving the group and setting off on their own. Excelt the channel got caught in a hoax, as all the people in the show had left the group a ling time before. One couple had already been together and had a child before they "met" on the show.

The Amish are pacifists, they do not seek retribution for things like the Nickel Mines massacre much less a damaged buggy.

And most Mennonites are WAY more liberal than even the most libral Amish sect ( like the "Beachy" Amish ).

Amish pick-up line: "Thy buggy has a bitchin' laquer job!"

 

What goes "Clop clop, bang bang, clop clop?" An Amish Drive-by shooting.

 

What's an Amish woman's favourite sexual fantasy?
Two Mennonite.

Why don't the Amish water ski?
Because the horses would drown.

 
What would you call an Amish guy with his arm up a horse's ass?
A mechanic.


  An Amish lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy 
when she is pulled over by a cop.
  "Ma'am, I'm not going to ticket you, but I do have to issue you
a warning.  You have a broken reflector on your buggy."
  "Oh, I'll let my husband know as soon as I get home."
  "That's fine. Another thing, ma'am. I don't like the way that 
one rein loops across the horse's back and around one of his balls. 
I consider that animal abuse. That's cruelty to animals. Have your 
husband take care of that right away!"
  Later that day, the lady is home telling her husband about her 
encounter with the cop. 
  "Well, dear, what exactly did he say?"
  "He said the reflector is broken."
  "I can fix that in two minutes. Anything else?"
  "I'm not sure, something about the emergency brake..."

 

  An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed
by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver 
walls that could move apart and back together again. 
  The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" 
  The father responded,  "Son, I have never seen anything like this 
in my life, I don't know what it is."
  While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady
in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room.
The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of
lights with numbers on them  above the walls light up. They continued
to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls 
opened up again and a beautiful 24 year old woman stepped out.
  The father said to his son, "Go get your Mother."

I laughed Ed.  Especially the last one. 

[felixthecat]

Amish Mafia??? reality tv bullshit.

[Bill]

Yes, I do believe you are right.

[Compound8]

Going back and forth between seriously pissed about Amish bad ass` and laughing at Eds post`s , Great grand parents were what they preferred to be called "Pennsylvania Dutch " what you could think of is Amish on the edge .

" BIGGER"  !!!

So that must be where I get my ability to grow a beard from. Oh wait...

[Westie]

But wouldn't you think that within their community they would naturally have some sort of "enforcing" power? (Other than God, that is) I mean, there is no law enforcement in their community. Only shunning.

[Chris]

But wouldn't you think that within their community they would naturally have some sort of "enforcing" power? (Other than God, that is) I mean, there is no law enforcement in their community. Only shunning.

In the Amish community, the enforcing power is the bishops. They will come to your home and explain to you that your hat brim being too wide or the color of your buggy is the wring shade of black. Failure to fall into line can lead to shunning, but it generally doesnt get to that, at least on a family basis. There is a lot of pressure just from within the household and one either submits, leaves of their own choice or is shunned, allowed to come back and repent if they so choose.

But they are pacifists, and violence or the threat of it is unheard of in the Amish. In the off chance it WOULD occur, they would be punished severely, but these are people who live their faith, and their faith dictates non violence.

Mennonites are an entirely different story, WAY more liberal than the Amish. They go to spas, they wear colorful clothing, they drive nice cars and have homes with electricity among other glaring differences. To portray these people ( who I still have doubts even being Mennonites with the track record of reality tv ) as Amish is false. But hey, the Amish dont watch tv, and even if they did they wouldnt raise a fuss, so what easier target for entertainment ?

[km1997]

You're right about them being an easy target.  A population that truly lives their own lives, asking nothing from others, imposing nothing on others, deserves much better. 

 

If you ever get the opportunity to attend one of their public dinners go with a big appetite and prepare for some of the best cooking you've ever tasted!   

[Compound8]

And again the media is hyping the whole Amish thing by making a "reality " show about something most are curious about , but are afraid to look into on their own . Amish folks put up with a whole lot of staring and such from the "English " when out and about , but they are just people who live differently than us .Actually they could be looked upon as the ultimate preppers but in a peaceful way LOL ! Chris has done extensive research on the subject so he could answer most questions on the subject I believe .
