Hello guys!

I’m back, I just took on this show today. Hopefully things will go smoother this time than with American Horror Story. 

Let me just say that I LOVE THIS SHOW. I don’t know why. I think it’s so much better than Breaking Amish, even though Discovery is TLC’s sister channel. Maybe it’s because they at least admit that this is mostly staged. 

 See TLC? It’s so easy. 

 

So I was going to start with the episode “Fire From The Lord” instead of the sneak peek episode. If you guys want me to recap that one, then hit up the comments!

Let’s go over a little bit of details that are important for the show. Basically, in Amish lifestyle, the church rules all. I believe the order goes: Bishop  then Minister, then deacons. Obviously, the Bishop is very powerful. You often hear people saying “He told the Bishop.” There are a lot of rules for the Amish lifestyle. Men are to wear hats when they go outside. So are women. I can’t remember what the headcovering is called, but I know Esther said that it’s sacred. It will protect you. They practice humility and modesty. 

Levi says that the Elders know about the Mafia but just choose to look the other way. I’m assuming Elder’s are older people who have power in the community. 

The Mafia:

Lebanon Levi – The Al Capone of this Mafia. He’s the leader and controls everything. He own’s several businesses and works construction. He has some nice rides. I’m super jealous. Can I be a part? KIDDING. 

Alvin – Levi’s right hand man. “Nobody get’s to Levi without going through me first.” He doesn’t look very scary but I bet that he’d surprise you. Also, I wish he would open his mouth and enunciate his words. 

Joelin – He’s mennonite and does the “dirty work” for Levi. I’m not sure the exact meaning of that, but for some reason, I feel that he’s not afraid to kill. He’s got a super nice truck and tattoo’s. 

John – Is the least powerful guy. He was supposed to have all the power because his father was powerful. His father died when John was younger and handed the power to Levi’s dad, who then turned it over to Levi. He has a sister named Esther who annoys the crap out of me.

    How are they able to drive cars? I thought the Amish didn’t believe in them.

    Wait, but if these guys haven’t been baptized into the church, are they even really Amish?
    And how did they escape being baptized? After Rumspringa, don’t you get baptized automatically if you choose not to live like the English?

    Alvin is my favorite. Something is just so amusing about an Amish gangster with a bowlcut and a nice ass Mercedes. Like, if I was rolling down the road and that car pulled up beside me with Alvin at the wheel, I’d have to pull over to laugh in safety.
    It’s just so crazy.
    Jolin matches his truck perfectly. He should keep his glasses on at all times though. With them on, he kind of looks hot.
    As soon as he takes them off, I’m painfully reminded that he looks like some kind of rodent and is balding in the front.
    Maybe a weasel?

    Also, I wonder how rich Levi is really.
    I know Esther said he was the richest guy in Lancaster county, but given that most Amish aren’t wealthy and only have what they need to live, is he just rich in comparison to other Amish or is he legitimately rich? I guess he’s legitimately rich if he’s buying everyone nice ass cars, and all you have to do is ask him if you want one. Does he pay the insurance on the cars? Does he give them gas money, since they mostly drive to do stuff for him?

    And did anyone else feel like they were blowing the Alan thing out of proportion?
    He’s a bad ass dude, with his high speed chases and stuff, but I’m pretty sure the police don’t care what the Amish people are doing. I’m sure they have other things to deal with.
    And don’t police not have dominion over Amish matters? Don’t the Amish govern themselves and deal with law-breaking within their own community? What were they so scared about?

    I have so many questions!!

    i miss breaking amish. it might’ve been faked a bit, but the people in it were WAY more interesting than these morons.

    plockness, mennonites can drive at all times – they have limited technology in their community – i learned that from breaking amish, lol – & amish kids can during rumspringa.

    i wish someone would explain the behavior at their hut party with all the kissing, because it’s super strange & the sort of thing that would happen during an orgy, not an amish party? it feels like there’s more going on behind that & that they possibly ARE having orgies behind closed doors? gross. or that the girls are borderline sex slaves? the men in the community are, to the point of their detriment (because come on, none of these people are genuises and none of them are ever going to truly be in a position of power), the reigning force so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they do things like this with the women/girls.

    all these shows have done is make me dislike amish people even more than i did before … i don’t get why they’re all agreeing to it because all it is doing is showcasing how mind-numbingly stupid they are `! well i guess that can be said about all reality tv … but you’d think that people whom are so ‘holy’ wouldn’t be drawn to this?

    AshSmash, no clue about your AHS recaps but this one on the Amish Mafia was hysterical! LOL I am watching this show because, to be honest, I simply can’t help myself….same thing as watching a car wreck or train crash…think its a “human nature” thing. I think Alvin is my favorite….maybe I’ve secretly loved bowl haircuts? Dudes named after, and who sound like, chipmunks? I definitely like the car though. Esther irritates me too actually. I mean, if Levi has a thing for her and he holds all the power, and its obvious she wants power, then hook up with the guy already! Everyone knows wives usually have the REAL power. Yeah, her brother’d be out of luck but he’s not real smart anyway.

    Coming from Lancaster County I can say I have seen these people around the area dressed as Amish prior to any Amish TV shows …. but in reality there is no Amish Mafia, Fixers yes … but not church sanctioned – Amish Keg parties, Amish pot fields, cars, computers just about anything the English do the Amish will do. I’ve even seen Amish men going into porn stores. The show does give a more realistic look into Amish life than most documentaries on the Amish have done in the past – Historical perspective likes to whitewash and water down the realities of life this is open and raw and does give you more of a realistic view of the Amish. And yes there is some validity to the claim that if they were not baptized they are perhaps not actually Amish ..but they were raised within the Amish community.

    I was at the same bar Alvin was the night he got arrested for DUI. He was talking about being on a reality show in Pennsylvania.

    He can’t hold his booze. Very hammered. He puked and was told to leave.
