I truly wish things could be different for you and your family. I can understand WHY they sever the relationships when someone leaves, but I can't understand HOW they do it. So very sad for everyone concerned. <br />I wish our churches stood by one another in the same way.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-36396504134017807352016-05-11T17:34:51.485-04:002016-05-11T17:34:51.485-04:00I can understand how you feel.

I am estranged from my family and I miss the little church Jack and I attended in my hometown where we all took care of one another and leaned on one another and could be honest with one another.Michelle-ozark crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854922223445105068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-59846135194320152112016-05-11T15:52:59.019-04:002016-05-11T15:52:59.019-04:00Do the Amish have to end relationships when someon...Do the Amish have to end relationships when someone leaves?<br /><br />I absolutely love the way they do not bow to pressure from the outside world. They just do their thing and that's that. Triumph!<br /><br />I also really admire their lack of taking offense. I imagine it comes from teachings on pride and, well, not taking offense? It's a good trait.<br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-11806834743914420782016-05-11T14:32:24.680-04:002016-05-11T14:32:24.680-04:00Why do you think the Amish are not easily offended...Why do you think the Amish are not easily offended?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182604134873437053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-224964058137008062016-05-11T13:52:14.709-04:002016-05-11T13:52:14.709-04:00I think it is those very things that the English f...I think it is those very things that the English find so fascinating because most of us don't have it.
