They would say one thing was okay, but that another form of it wasn't. And if you didn't look and act just like us then you can't be saved.f it is truly sin, then all of should be sin. Hypocrisy if you ask me!

It sounds like your family was being made an example of o something, because every time your family was found to be doing something that had been OK before, suddenly it wasn't. I mean, what's wrong with fishing? Plenty of people use that as a means of providing food for the family while at the same time having an enjoyable outing.

Was it something against your parents, or LV's parents of you two? In thinking back over some of my Amish experiences, it is that once a family is marked for whatever reason, they can never do anything right again. Everything they do is frowned upon.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758630855852026771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-28933529620746665862011-04-05T12:21:48.299-04:002011-04-05T12:21:48.299-04:00Did it ever feel like your family was being used t...Did it ever feel like your family was being used to make an example of? Because it seems every time it was heard that you did or had something that had always been okay and it was discovered by someone else in that community, it became an issue. This was just wrong on so many levels. It reminds me of a church I had once been a part of where you never quite knew what was okay and what was not Monica https://www.blogger.com/profile/09434370272889356134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-10007615131620514702011-04-05T12:20:21.827-04:002011-04-05T12:20:21.827-04:00I'm wondering why fishing would be banned?
